7 ways to fix Canon printer not connecting to wifi
1. Devices That Power Cycle:
To begin, just restart both your printer and computer. This usually fixes small problems and makes network links work again.
Take both electronics out of the wall for at least 30 seconds.
When you plug them back in, wait until they are fully charged before you try to connect them again.
2. Check your Wi-Fi credentials:
Check your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password again to make sure they are right.
Pay close attention to the big letters and other characters.
Check the passwords on your router or by calling your internet service provider if you're not sure.
3. Connect to the internet wirelessly again:
Find the settings menu on your printer. This can usually be done through the LCD screen or buttons on the printer.
Find the settings for the network and pick "Wi-Fi Setup" or something similar.
To choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password, just follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Take care of problems with routers:
Make sure the software on your router is up to date. Sometimes, software that is too old can make devices not work together.
You might want to change the settings on your router so that wireless devices can talk to each other. These settings are sometimes called "AP Isolation" or "Wireless Isolation" settings.
If your router has two bands of frequencies (2.4GHz and 5GHz), connect to the other band. Some printers may have preferences for which band works best.
5. Install new printer drivers:
Outdated printer drivers can also make it hard to link.
Canon's official page is where you can get the most up-to-date drivers for your printer model.
Follow the directions that come with the drivers to install them.
6. Use the Wireless Setup Assistant from Canon:
Canon often comes with a helpful tool called Wireless Setup Assistant that walks you through the process of connecting.
This tool can make the setup process easier. You can usually find it on the Canon website or on a setup CD.

Some more tips:
To keep your Wi-Fi signal strong, make sure your printer is not too far away from your computer.
Do not put the printer near things that could cause interference, like microwaves or cordless phones.
Make sure that any Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters you use are set up properly.
You might want to turn off any antivirus or firewall software that is briefly getting in the way of the connection.
