MG6820 Cannot Connect Printer to WiFi

I am unbale to get my printer to connect to my home wifi via AT&T router.

 

I have tried every option:


WPS PIN

WPS Button

entering the password through the screen (it see's the network)

 

I have installed the printer drivers/sw on my laptop, and can print, but cannot get the wireless to connect on the printer, thus I cannot use google cloud print, icloud print, which i need for my other devices.

 

I have rebooted the router, reset the wifi configurations, confirmed the password (all other devices connect to the wifi)

changed the security to WPA2-PSK (only)... nothing works!

 

Is there another way to force the printer to authenticate to the router? Im about to return this product and buy a competing brand. Please help!!

I have had the same problem as this other person. Obviously Cannon does not QA their printers very well. I will be returning mine as well. Good luck with making garbage !
