How To Connect An Epson Printer Wirelessly? by EpsonPrinterTec: 12:08am On Jan 10, 2018
Any Wi-Fi enabled Epson printer, can be setup through one or more of three different Wi-Fi modes - (1) Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup, (2) Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup, and (3) Wi-Fi Protected Mode Setup (WPS). Following are the three different modes using which you can connect your Epson Printer wirelessly.
Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup
Wi-Fi Infrastructure mode requires a Wi-Fi router usually buit into your access point or Modem that you receive from your ISP . In this mode all your home devices are connected together over a wireless or wired network through an access point / router. You can setup your Epson printer to connect with your computer using the wireless access point too.

Before configuring the wireless settings, you need the following:

Devices & Equipment:
1. Wi-Fi compatible Epson Printer
2. Wireless router or access point
3. Computer with a wireless interface
4. Internet Connectio
5. Ethernet cable (used only for wired connection to the wireless router or access point)

Information:

1). Wireless Network Name (SSID)
2). Network Key (Password, Security Key or Encryption Key, etc.)

Connect the printer to your wireless network.

Many Epson printer models allow you to connect to the Wi-Fi network using the inbuilt control panel which usually also have a display menu. You can refer to the manual or user's guide for different model at https://epson.com/Support/Printers/sh/s1 .


To connect your Epson Printer to Wi-Fi, follow the instructions below.
1.Press the home button.
2. Press the arrow buttons to select Wi-Fi Setup and press the OK button.
3. Select Wi-Fi Setup Wizard and press the OK button.
4. Do one of the following:
Highlight the Wi-Fi network name you wants to connect to, using the up and down arrow key and press OK to select.
Press the cancel button (a circle with a triangle icon) to cancel the selection and select a different Wi-Fi. If your Wi-Fi name doesn't show up in the list, you can enter it manually. Select the “Other Network” option and type the Wi-Fi name manually.

5. If you see the following screen, enter your W-Fi password (or SSID and then password).
6. Press OK to confirm Wi-Fi settings.
7. You may be asked whether you want to print the network status report. Select Yes if you want, or No if not, and press the OK button.
Your Epson Printer should now be connected to the Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup
In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, your Epson Printer turns out as a wireless access point or router and allows you to connect upto 4 devices at a time. Your computer and other wireless device can connect directly to your printer and send the print job. When you enable Wi-Fi Direct mode, your printer shows you a network name and password. You are required to connect to the same network created by the Epson printer, in order to print from it.

That was all about the wireless connectivity using a router or an access point to connect your Epson printer to your PC. There are other methods also to connect your Epson printer to Wi-Fi, such as Direct mode or WPS method. In case you are facing any problem while connecting or could not find the wireless option in your Epson Printer then you can contact Epson technical support or a third party technical support provider for Epson Printer. I have found this technical support provider for Epson printer the most affordable- https://iguruservices.com/support/epson-printer-tech-support-toll-free/ as they charge you only when your printer is out of warranty. They fix it for as low as $49.99 and covers other such issue for one month.
