How to Fix Epson L6270 WiFi Connection Issues: Troubleshooting Guide

Question:

Epson L6270 Color Printer, My printer's wifi is recently disconnected. I also tried reconnecting it to my WiFi router, but it cannot connect. The printer's transfer into the process mode occurs while trying to connect. Can you explain how to fix my printer?

Answer:

Suppose your Epson L6270 printer is stuck in process mode when reconnecting to your WiFi router. In that case, you are encountering a commonly reported problem which can be resolved quickly with these steps:

Restart Everything

Sometimes, a basic restart is all that is needed to fix connectivity problems. Shut down your printer, router, and computer.

Disconnect the router and reboot it after approximately 5 minutes.

Once the router has fully rebooted, back up your computer and printer.

After this, try to reconnect the printer to your WiFi again.

One way to troubleshoot a printer issue is to reset printer network settings.

If restarting does not fix it, resetting the printer's network settings might come in handy.

To reset the printer's Wi-Fi configurations, go to the printer's control panel,select Setup, and then> Restore Default Settings, then> Network Settings.

Try reconnecting the printer after the reset to your WiFi.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

If your router supports WPS, this process can be faster and more stable than the traditional WiFi setup.

Hit the WPS button on your router.

Go to WiFi Setup > WPS (Push Button Method) for the printer and press OK.

You will need to wait for that connection to be established.

Double Check Your WiFi Network Settings

You should also ensure your router's network settings are compatible with the printer's connection needs.

Check that your router is on the 2.4GHz band because some printers can’t use 5GHz wi-fi.

Make sure MAC address filtering is turned off on your router. It can prevent the printer from connecting.

Manually Enter WiFi Details

If automatic assistance doesn’t work, you can manually configure your WiFi details.

At the printer, go to WiFi Setup > Manual Setup and manually type your SSID (WiFi name) and password.

Ensure the password is correct — it has been entered precisely, with uppercase and lowercase letters.

Update Printer Firmware

If your printer was previously working and suddenly stopped connecting, it may have a firmware problem.

Go to the Epson support website, download the newest firmware for your model, and update your printer by connecting it to USB. This may resolve any connectivity-related bugs.
