The good news is that most Epson printer internet connection issues can be resolved with a few straightforward troubleshooting steps. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to get your Epson printer back online, whether you're using a wireless (Wi-Fi) connection or attempting to connect via Epson Connect or mobile printing services.

🔍 Why Is My Epson Printer Not Connecting to the Internet?

There are several common reasons why an Epson printer might fail to connect to the internet or Wi-Fi network:

Incorrect Wi-Fi password

Printer not within range of the router

Network changes (new router or SSID)

IP address conflicts or network configuration errors

Outdated firmware or printer software

Security settings like firewall or MAC address filtering

Epson Connect or cloud services not properly configured

Let’s go step-by-step to resolve these issues and get your printer reconnected.

🛠️ Step 1: Restart Devices

Before diving into technical fixes, start with the basics:

Turn off your Epson printer.

Restart your Wi-Fi router.

Power your printer back on after 30 seconds.

Ensure your computer or mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

This simple reset often resolves temporary network glitches.

📡 Step 2: Reconnect to Wi-Fi Network

If your printer has lost connection, reconfiguring the Wi-Fi setup is essential.

For printers with a control panel screen:

Go to Settings > Network Settings > Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.

Your printer will search for available networks.

Select your Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list.

Enter your Wi-Fi password carefully (check for case sensitivity).

Wait for the confirmation message that says “Connected.”

For printers without a screen:

Use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) method:

Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until it flashes.

Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.

The printer should connect automatically.

If these methods fail, install the Epson Printer Setup Utility on your computer to configure the connection.

💻 Step 3: Update Firmware and Software

Outdated firmware may prevent the printer from establishing or maintaining a Wi-Fi connection.

To update firmware:

Visit https://www.epson.com/Support.

Search for your printer model.

Download the Firmware Updater and install the update.

Restart your printer after installation.

You should also update your printer drivers and Epson software like Epson Connect or Epson ScanSmart to avoid compatibility issues.

🌐 Step 4: Check Router Settings

Your router’s settings might be blocking your printer’s access to the internet.

Check the following:

Ensure MAC address filtering is not enabled, or add your printer’s MAC address to the allowed list.

Make sure your Wi-Fi network uses a 2.4GHz band, as many Epson printers don’t support 5GHz.

Disable guest networks, which often block local network devices.

Keep your SSID (Wi-Fi name) visible.

After making any changes, restart your router and reconnect the printer.

📱 Step 5: Reconnect Epson Connect Services

If you're using Epson Connect, and your printer isn’t accessible over the internet (e.g., via email or remote print), follow these steps:

Visit www.epsonconnect.com and log in.

Remove and re-add your printer using its serial number or registration code.

Ensure that Remote Print and Scan to Cloud services are enabled.

Update your Epson Connect account if your network or email address has changed.

Also, confirm that the printer has internet access, not just local Wi-Fi.

🧪 Step 6: Run a Connection Test

Most Epson printers include a built-in network connection test:

Go to Settings > Network Settings.

Select Print Network Status Sheet or Run Network Test.

Review the printed page for errors like:

“No IP address assigned”

“Connection failed”

“Router not found”

Use the details provided to pinpoint and fix configuration problems.

🔧 Step 7: Assign a Static IP Address (Optional)

Sometimes, DHCP conflicts on the network cause Epson printers to disconnect.

To assign a static IP:

Access your router’s admin panel (typically via 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).

Reserve an IP address for your printer’s MAC address.

Enter that IP in the printer’s TCP/IP settings.

Reboot your printer.

This helps maintain a stable connection.
