TS8320 won’t connect to wifi network

[Bev2]

The printer direct connects to my phone. However, neither my MacBook nor my iMac can find it. The printer won’t connect to my wireless network.

The Wi-Fi setting list says:

Connection   Enabled (disconnected). 

Then it gives a Network name (SSID), Frequency 2.4GHz, WiFi security Disable, Signal strength 0, several lines with no data, then gives a MAC address, a Printer name, and a Bonjour service name. 

I have unplugged the printer. I have reset all the settings to factory default, I have moved the printer next to the router. I have restarted both computers. Both are Apples running OSMonterey 12.2.1. 

The printer was connected and working fine until I had an Apple technician (it went to the Genius Bar) reformat my hard drive to get rid of some remote viewing software my ex-husband had surreptitiously installed.

Since getting my computer back, I have had this problem. 

Please help! I have documents I need to scan and email to the government.

Thanks so much!

That's strange. I'm having the same issue. No changes to my network and the printer has been running fine for over a year. It just all of sudden can't connect to my network.

@bev2, what is the brand of your wifi network device. I'm using an Eero. I'm wondering if there is some commonality there.

Hi @irishpadres. My wifi is through AT&T. I tried manually connecting. Had to go to the ATT website to find my Mac No. then it didn’t match any of the options offered on my printer. I tried a couple of the options offered and one finally worked. The scanner wouldn’t work with my iMac either, after the last iOS upgrade to Monterey 12.1.2. Had to go to Hamrick and pay $20 to download a driver. Better than buying a new printer, especially since I have almost 3 full boxes of toner cartridges. Best of luck!
