- Check Wi-Fi Network: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working correctly and other devices can connect to it without any issues.
- Printer Placement: Make sure the printer is placed within the range of your Wi-Fi router. If it’s too far away, the signal strength may be weak, leading to connection problems.
