How to connect Epson L355 printer to Wi-Fi network without WPS?

Question

We have Epson L355 printer and our router has disabled WPS. We checked all manuals, youtube videos etc. Everything is about connecting with WPS.

How do we connect this printer to our Wi-Fi network using SSID and password?

Solution 1

Just used Epson Product Setup.

Really weird, because there's no such tool on other Epson sites.

Solution 2

I have already done this on my new Epson L3150 using my laptop.

How to connect your printer to your router without WPS?

1. Turn on your printer
2. Press and hold together the WiFi+Info buttons to enable "Wi-Fi Direct" mode (Simple AccessPoint), or see in your manual how to enable Direct mode (printer as AP) and do it Hold Info button for about 7 seconds to print informatin/status page.
3. Under the capture find a "Password", it is eight digit code. (NOT wps-pin code, but wifi direct password! they differ)
4. Connect to your printer's WiFi with your PC/notebook or smart phone using the printed password (8 digit code)
5. Go to printer's webpage using its IP, (in my case it was 192.168.223.1), you can find it on the printed information page or in the properties of your wireless connection (gateway = printer's IP).
6. I.e. open your favourite web-browser and type http://192.168..etc (IP address of your printer)
7. Select "Advanced settings" in the combobox on the top of the webpage
8. Go to "Network Settings" > "Wi-Fi", use "Network" tab, scrool to the bottom and press "Setup" button Choose your SSID using radio button
9. Write a password of the WiFi of your router, hit "Next", wait And you are all done!

You can't. Enable WPS.

It seems to also be at Epson UK if their Middle East website is unavailable.
