PIXMA MG3620 Reset/Change WiFi Connection

[gtifeld]

Hello Experts,

I have a friend with a Pixma MG3620 that was set up by someone else a few years ago on a wireless network. My friend changed ISPs a few months ago and now has a new router, but his printer was never set up to connect to the new access point.

Since the printer does not have a display panel, I can't quite figure out how to connect it to the new router. I looked at the documentation online, but I'm not seeing where those steps are.

How can I connect the printer wirelessly to the new access point/router? Can I change it, or do I need to manually reset the printer to its factory setting so that I'll be prompted to re-connect?

Thank you in advance for any assitance.

Please help! 

I've been at this for 3 days and no real luck.  The Cannon MX922 is the hardest device I have ever had to change the wireless password for.  I don't understand why this is so hard.  The printer keeps trying to compare the old password that was originally typed into the printer with the new router I just got from my cable provider.  I cannot find a place anywere to reset the password on the device itself.  The reset functions seems like they should work, especially the LAN Reset function, but it does not get rid of the password from before so I can type in the new/correct password to my router.

What can I do?

Hi, Jason! 

Try the following steps for a Manual reset of your WiFI password:  

Connect your printer to a wireless network

To connect your printer to a wireless network (LAN), follow the steps below.

1. Press the Menu button on the printer.

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight WLAN setup, then press OK.

   

3. The printer searches for nearby networks.

   

4. The screen below appears with Standard setup selected for you. Press OK.
    If a WPS-enabled wireless router is nearby, a message will appear on the screen telling you to press the WPS button on the router, then the OK button on the printer. If you don't want to connect to that WPS-enabled router, press the Stop button on the printer to bypass this message.

   

5. The printer searches for nearby networks and displays a list of nearby networks on the screen. Use the up / down arrow keys to select your network from the list. Then press OK.

   

6. If your wireless router has a password, the Enter passphrase screen displays.
    If your wireless network doesn't have a password, the printer will attempt to connect to the network automatically. When it connects, press OK.

   

7. Press OK to go to the character entry screen.

8. On the character entry screen, use the arrows and the OK button to enter in the characters for your password.

   

   • Lower case letters display by default. Press the middle Function button (below Aa1) to switch to upper case.

   • Press the middle Function button a second time to switch to numbers and symbols.

   • Press the right Function button (below Del. character) to erase an incorrect entry.

   • Refer to enter numbers, letters, and symbols for more information.

9. After you enter the password, press the left Function button (under Done).

   

10. You will return to the Enter passphrase screen. The password you entered displays. Press OK to make corrections. If the entry is correct, press the left Function key (under End setup).

    

11. The printer attempts to connect to the network.

    

12. When the printer connects to the network, press OK.

    

If the printer fails to connect to the wireless network

1. Press OK and verify that the password you have entered is correct.

2. Make any needed changes.

3. If the password is correct, unplug the router, wait 15 seconds and plug it back in. Try again to connect.
