• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access

point. If access restrictions are set, add your product's MAC address to your router's address list. To
obtain your product's MAC address, print a network status sheet. Then follow the instructions in your
router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.

• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that

came with your product to enter your wireless network name manually.

• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any

required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA
passphrase correctly.

• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless

access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.

• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi direct password on

your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing

DIRECT-xxxxxxxx

connection

settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.

• If you connected your product to a Windows computer using Wi-Fi Direct and it automatically selected

Access Point Mode, you may have trouble accessing a low-priority Internet connection. Check the
network connection or adapter settings in the Windows Control Panel and set the

Internet metric

setting to

100

for your version of the Internet Protocol.

Network Software Cannot Find Product on a Network

If EpsonNet Setup cannot find your product on a network, try these solutions:

• Make sure your product is turned on and connected to your network. Verify connection using your

product control panel.

• Check if your network name (SSID) contains non-ASCII characters. Your product cannot display non-

ASCII characters.

• Make sure your product is not connected to a guest network.
