This video saved me from the headache of calling Epson support! Fixed in under a minute and back to printing after getting the dreaded wi-fi error code. Thank you!!!
I have had the same problem recently. I believe it is due to our main router being an 'advanced' router with 2.5G and 5G under the same SSID. Connecting to another router using 2.5G worked flawlessly. Frustrating problem. Printers are still so primitive! lol
Thank you for the video. Here’s what worked for my Epson ET-2850: The error was not letting me access the "Wi-Fi Setup" menu. I had to restart the printer. (1) Restart the printer (I left if off for 5 minutes and took the power cable off both ends). (2) As soon as you see the home screen scroll to the right and select “Wi-Fi Setup”. You can also go to Settings - Network Settings - Wi-Fi Setup. (3) Select “Wi-Fi (Recommended)”. (4) Press OK to proceed. (5) Select “Others”. (6) Select “Disable Wi-Fi” and confirm your selection. (7) Switch off the printer (for a couple of minutes) and back on. I hope this helps someone out there.
Thank you so much! Epson support has done nothing for me. With your help I was able to get my printer running after months of emailing Epson support. Thank you!🎉
I did the "Reset all data and settings" / back to factory defaults option and then reinstalled drivers & apps. That finally worked. Didn't try the reset network settings variation. If it happens again, I'll try the reset networks settings option. My printer is the Epson ET-3850.
This printer is truly a hot steaming pile of shit for how much this is there’s no reason it should have these constant issues im on my 3rd one and still a new issue.
