I am unable to connect my Epson Ecotank printer to the wireless network. When I go to the WLAN setup, I see a red cross icon across my wireless network name.
Whenever your epson printer is not connecting to the wireless network. do not worry, there is a way to get it solved by following this guide.
1. Verify WiFi Credentials
Double-check the WiFi network name (SSID) and password.
Ensure you are entering them correctly, keeping uppercase and lowercase letters in mind.
If possible, connect another device to the same network to confirm the credentials are correct.
2. Move the Printer Closer to the Router
Place the printer within the router’s range to ensure a stable WiFi signal.
Avoid placing the printer near devices like microwaves, cordless phones, or thick walls that may interfere with the signal.

Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal. Epson printers usually do not support 5GHz networks.
Log in to your router’s settings and switch to 2.4GHz if needed.
4. Restart Your Devices
Turn off your router and printer, wait for 30 seconds, and turn them back on.
Reboot your computer or smartphone as well to refresh all connections.
5. Update Firmware and Drivers
Visit the Epson Support Website and download the latest firmware and drivers for your printer model.
Install the updates and restart the printer.
6. Reconfigure WiFi Settings
Access the printer’s control panel.
Navigate to Setup > Network Settings > WiFi Setup.
Select your network name and enter the password carefully.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
