How to Connect to WPS on a Laptop

If you're having trouble connecting your laptop to your Wi-Fi network using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) protocol, follow these simple steps. Before we begin, make sure that your network is set up with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocol.

First, locate the blue Wi-Fi lamp on your printer. It will continue to flash while searching for an access point. When connecting to the access point, both the power and Wi-Fi lamp will start flashing. Next, find the button next to this lamp and press it within 2 minutes. Your network must be set up with a physical WPS push button available.

If your access point does not have a physical WPS push button, you can use the Standard Connection Method instead. However, if you are unsure about the exact details on starting WPS on your access point, please refer to its user guide for more information.

To begin the process, make sure that the lamp next to the button starts flashing blue. This is a sign that the printer is ready to connect to the network. Press and hold the button on top of the printer until the alarm lamp flashes once. Most WPS-enabled access points use this protocol.

Before you start, there are some conditions that must be met in order to use the WPS push button method:

* Your network must be set up with the WPA or WPA2 security protocol.

* The access point must have a physical WPS push button available.

* You must have Canon consumables installed to ensure optimum performance and superb quality with every print.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to connect your laptop to your Wi-Fi network using the WPS protocol.
