Epson xp-205 wifi setup

Question

Hello,

I just received this printer. I was able to install it via USB on a PC and I want to set it up wirelessly for the laptop. Impossible...... argh.....

Of course, the Epson installation CD is not very helpful....

My goal: just to be able to use this multifunction printer with both PCs, without going through the Freebox (the printer is not connected to it).

So, thank you in advance for your help, I'm starting to despair!

There is an Epson software that allows you to install it via Wi-Fi without having to enter your Wi-Fi code. It is available for download on the Epson website!

I connected it via USB, but well, that's not the point!

you will have to connect it to your box (freebox) via Wi-Fi... there is no Wi-Fi Direct on this model!

Hello everyone,

In your architecture, the box is the central point. In the documentation, the box is often referred to as the "access point" and that says it all...

It is the one that assigns the addresses on the networks it manages (WIFI, ETHERNET, Internet...). It therefore acts as a DHCP server (among other things).

There is a WPS pairing button (WIFI Protected SETUP) on your device. It’s the button marked "WIFI".

If the freebox you have is WPS compatible, the WIFI pairing is super easy. You press the WIFI button on the printer and press the WPS pairing button on the freebox (or you launch the corresponding command in its interface).

Once connected to the box, the printer will be shared on the network. You will just have to install it on each of the computers on your network.

And there you go! Your turn to play.

Best regards to everyone, users of cartridges and printers of all kinds and brands. And especially to those who follow my interventions...

If it’s resolved, think of others and come tell us how you did it. Then mark the question as "RESOLVED"
