Can a printer be connected to a 5GHz network?

No, Canon PIXMA iP110 supports networks only 2.4 GHzIf your router operates in dual-band mode, connect to a network with a name containing 2G, 2.4 or b/g/n.

The printer is connected to Wi-Fi, but the computer can't see it. What should I do?

Please check the following points:

1. The computer and printer are connected to the same network.
2. Firewall or antivirus does not block the port 9100.
3. Printer drivers are installed (download from official website).
4. Client isolation is not enabled in the router settings (AP Isolation or Client Isolation).

If the problem persists, try adding the printer manually by IP address (you can find it out via IJ Network Tool).

How do I reset my printer's Wi-Fi settings?

To reset network settings, hold the button Wi-Fi on the printer for 5 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing orange. After this, you can set up the connection again.

Is it possible to use the printer without a router (in Ad-Hoc mode)?
