An OKI printer not connecting to WiFi is a common problem that happens due to a weak internet connection. When your printer doesn’t connect to WiFi, its WiFi light turns off or stops flashing. When you send a print job, the printer doesn’t process it, and it fails. Otherwise, your printer prints slowly or shows an offline status. An offline status on the computer or printer’s display shows that the printer is no longer connected to the WiFi network. If these things happen to you, there is a connection problem between your printer and your WiFi. 

Basic Steps (For Beginners)

Solution 1: Restart Your Printer, Computer, and WiFi Router

Restarting everything can fix the printer not connecting to the WiFi issue. A thorough restart brings all the devices to their optimum conditions. Look at the steps below to do it: 

1. First, shut down the computer by clicking the Windows Start button at the bottom of your screen and then selecting the Power icon. 
2. Then, press the power button on the printer to turn it off and disconnect its power cable from the wall outlet. 
3. Now, carefully unplug the router from the wall outlet. 
4. Wait for at least 2-3 minutes. 
5. Reconnect all the devices to the power source again. 
6. Next, press the power button on the printer until the light flashes. Also, turn on the computer by pressing the Power button on the CPU.

Check if the printer is working fine now. Send a document and check if it’s printing smoothly.

Solution 2: Verify the Printer’s Wireless Settings

If your OKI printer is not connecting to the wireless network, the printer’s wireless settings can be wrong. In this case, you must ensure that the printer is connected to the right network. Check the steps below to verify that. 

1. First of all, go to the Menu option on the printer’s touchscreen. This button is a physical button on which the Menu is written. 
2. Then, scroll down using the arrow keys on the printer and select Network Settings. 
3. Under these settings, select the Wireless Settings using the arrow keys. 
4. Now, select the Wireless Setup Wizard. This option may differ depending on the printer model type. 
5. Let the printer scan for the available wireless network, and select your network from the list. 
6. Enter the wireless network’s password. You can check it on the label of your wireless router at the back. 
7. Finally, select OK. 

That’s how you can reconnect your printer to the wireless network. Once you do that, your printer will be connected to your home network (wireless network). 

If your printer is too far from your wireless router, this problem can occur. Therefore, you should keep the printer close to the WiFi router and try to reconnect your printer to the wireless network.
