Canon Printer MG3650 WiFi Setup [A Comprehensive Guide]

 Are you looking for a Canon Printer MG3650 WiFi setup guide? Well, you have landed on the right page. This guide will help you to set up your Canon MG3650 to WiFi.

 

Some access points (usually named wireless routers) have an automatic connection button - "WPS," which is for WiFi Protected Setup and allows devices to connect to a network without the need to type a password. It is the easiest method to connect your Canon MG3650 printer, so if the access point has a WPS button, select 'WPS Connection Method' below are the guidelines for using this WPS button method.

 

Select 'Standard Connection Method' below if your access point doesn't support the 'WPS Connection Method.' Without further ado, let's get started.

Steps To Use WPS Connection Method

Before we begin, below are some requirements that must be completed to use the WPS push button:

 

     Your access point must have a physical WPS push button; please refer to your device's user guide for details.

     The internet network must use WiFi Protected Access (WPA) or WPA2 security protocols. If the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security method is used, or if no security is allowed, most WPS-allowed access points would not connect using the WPS button method. You can check the wireless connection settings on your PC for security details.

 

In order to use WPS Connection Method for the Canon mg3650 printer WiFi setup, kindly follow the steps below to complete the setup:

 

  1. First, ensure your printer is on and that the WPS button on the wireless router can be pressed if needed.
  2. Next, click and hold the WiFi button (A) on your printer until the ON lamp (B) flashes.

 

 

  1. Then, click on the Black button (C) and the WiFi button (A); ensure the WiFi lamp (D) flashes quickly and that the ON lamp is flashed. Now, go to an access point and click the WPS button within two minutes.
  1. The blue color WiFi lamp on your printer will remain lit while searching, and both the Power and WiFi lamps will flash when connected to an access point. When your printer successfully connects to a wireless network, the WiFi lamps and Power will stop flashing and continue to light up.
  2. After that, ensure the WiFi lamp and ON lamp are flashed.


Refer to an access point manual for precise details on how to press the WPS push button.

Verify Network Settings

To verify that your Canon printer is successfully connected to a wireless network, print out your printer's network settings:

 

  1. First of all, ensure your Canon printer is on.
  2. Next, load two A4 sheets or letter-sized paper.
  3. Then, click and hold the WiFi button until the Power lamp flashes, and release it.
  4. Now, click the WiFi button, and the network information page will be printed.

 

This ends the WPS Connection Method process.
