Panasonic Printer not connecting to wifi


If your Panasonic printer is not connecting to WiFi, the WiFi lights on the printer will start blinking, and the printer will stop printing altogether. Usually, the WiFi light on the printer stays solid. So, if it has started blinking, there must be something bothering the printer. The most common reason is a weak WiFi signal or incorrect network details. Let’s check how you can best solve this problem. 

Basic Methods 

Method 1: Restart All the Devices (Computer, Router & Printer)

This method should be performed first to fix the WiFi connection issue on a Panasonic printer. Many times, a simple restart can fix minor issues in the printer. Let’s check how to restart all your devices. 
 

Printer:  

 

  1. First, press and hold the power button on the printer to turn it off and let the lights turn off. 
  2. Then, remove the power cord from the power switch on the wall outlet. 
  3. Now, wait for a minute and reconnect the printer’s power cable to the power outlet on the wall. 
  4. Lastly, press the power button on the printer to turn it on and let the lights turn on. 

Computer: 

 

  1. Click the Windows icon on the computer’s taskbar at the bottom. 
  2. Then, click the power button in the bottom right corner. 
  3. Now, click Restart. 

Router: 

 

  1. Disconnect the router’s cable from the power outlet on the wall. 
  2. Wait for some time, and then reconnect the cable to the power outlet. 

Once every device has restarted, you can try connecting the printer to WiFi again. 

Method 2: Check the Printer and Router Distance

Sometimes, the distance between your printer and the wireless router becomes a barrier between them. So, you must keep them close to each other. 

Advanced Methods 

When your printer doesn’t connect to WiFi even after restarting the devices, you should follow the advanced methods. 

Method 1: Connect Printer to WiFi from Scratch

  1. To begin, go to the Control Panel/Menu on your Panasonic printer. 
  2. Then, go to the Network Settings using the arrow keys. 
  3. Now, click the Wireless Setup Wizard option. 
  4. The printer will show a list of wireless networks; select your wireless network. 
  5. Enter your WiFi details correctly. 

Finally, let the printer connect to your wireless network. 


Note: If you don’t know the network name and password, check the back of your wireless router. You’ll see it there. 

Method 2: Connect the Printer via WPS Push Button

This method will only work if your router has a WPS push button. This button helps you connect the printer to WiFi without entering the password. So, check your router for that. If it has this button, move on to the steps given below. 

 

  1. Locate the WPS button on the back or side of your router. 
  2. Then, press this button for 3-5 seconds and let the light blink. If the light is blinking, it means the router is ready to connect. 
  3. Now, press the WiFi or WPS button on the printer for a few seconds. 

After that, your Panasonic printer will start searching for the WiFi signal. Wait for 1-2 minutes, and when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid and stops blinking, the connection has been completed.
