How to Disable Wi-Fi on Your Epson Printer: Step-by-Step Guide

Question:
Where is the wireless module located on an Epson printer? I’m moving near radio satellites and must ensure the printer is not Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capable to prevent interference.

Thank you for reaching out to us with your question! I want to apologize for not responding sooner. I understand that printer-related issues are often urgent, and I would like to give you a thoughtful and detailed answer.

Your questions help us refine our technical expertise and provide better resources for the community.
Now, I would like to ask you about your question. The wireless module usually needs to be integrated directly into the mainboard on Epson printers. Instead, it is a separate piece of hardware connected to the mainboard. This setup typically takes one of two forms:
  1. Plugged Directly into the Mainboard: The Wi-Fi module may be a small board connecting via a mainboard slot. It resembles a miniature circuit board.
  2. Connected via Wires: Alternatively, the module may be attached to the mainboard with a wire or cable.
The wireless module is relatively easy to identify and access in both cases. You can locate it by opening the printer casing and inspecting the connections on the mainboard. Once located, you can unplug or remove the module to ensure the printer no longer has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capability.
If you are uncomfortable opening the printer or handling its internal components, you might seek professional help. However, most DIY enthusiasts can manage this task with patience and care.
 
Addressing printer issues can be a complex endeavour, often requiring hands-on investigation. For this reason, we cannot provide remote troubleshooting or support for printer repairs. Instead, we offer an in-person evaluation and repair service (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service) through our local diagnostic facility. Due to high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may be a wait before your printer can be dropped off.
Our services range from whole-printer repairs to part-specific fixes, with clear instructions on the next steps. However, our rates might be less economical, so we encourage self-help through online resources. Start by exploring our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies), where you can search for relevant videos using the search bar. YouTube might also suggest videos from other creators to help you further.
