What Causes ‘Printer Not Connecting To WiFi’?

There are numerous reasons that cause WiFi connectivity issues in OKI printers. They also differ in the operating system you use.

The causes that are common in both Windows and Mac, which lead to the printer not being able to connect to WiFi or any other network, are as follows:

There may be a use of cross cables, and using a straight cable may prevent or resolve the connectivity issue.
