How Do I Connect My Wireless Printer to a New Router?
When you change your router, your Wi-Fi network changes, too. It might be faster, operate on new frequencies (like 5GHz), and it will undoubtedly have a new SSID. That means if you want to keep your printer connected to a wireless network, you’re going to need to reconnect it. It’s a good idea once you have connected your printer to do a simple test print from a device also on that network—though you may need to add the printer to your PC or another device to do so. You’re typically looking for Networking, Wireless, or Wi-Fi settings. Possibly within a Settings or Setup menu. When you’ve found it, select it.
Do I Have to Reconnect My Printer After Changing Router?
If you aren’t interested in printing wirelessly, you don’t need to reconnect your printer after changing the router. You will, however, need a wired connection to use the printer in the future.
