Canon Pixma MG3620 is a popular all-in-one inkjet printer. At $49.99, this reasonably priced printer is quite garnering sales these days. Although reviewed with good ratings Best Buy and Tom’s Guide, this printer has a mediocre rating with mixed reviews that are skewed unfavorably from Canon and Amazon websites combined. The most common reported printer issue is that most users cannot connect their printer to the WiFi.
You might have connected to a new or different wireless connection with new SSID. If this problem occurs, stop all printer functions or wait for it to stop perform and if the wireless indicator is flashing, press Stop. Then follow the instructions below according to your OS:
