How do I set up a wireless connection between my computer and projector without a wireless network?
-
Follow the steps below to set up your all-in-one for an Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) connection.
Note: Epson recommends using an Ad-Hoc connection only when a wireless router or access point is unavailable. If a wireless router or access point is available, follow the instructions in the Network Installation Guide instead to set up your printer wirelessly.- Reset the printer's network settings.
- If necessary, press the Home button on the printer control panel to return to the Home menu.
-
Select Setup, then press OK.
-
Select Network Settings, then press OK.
-
Select Wireless LAN Setup, then press OK.
-
Select Yes, then press OK.
-
Select Enable, then press OK.
-
Select Manual Wireless LAN Setup, then press OK.
-
Press OK to continue.
-
Select Yes, then press OK.
-
Select Ad Hoc Mode, then press OK.
-
Select Enter SSID, then press OK.
-
Use the arrow buttons on the printer's control panel to create a unique network name (SSID) to identify your printer.
Important: Network names are case-sensitive. Be sure to enter upper- or lowercase letters as necessary. -
Leave the channel set to its default (#11) and press OK.
-
Select None for the security setting, then press OK.
-
When you see a screen like this one, verify that the settings are correct. If you need to change a setting, press Back until you see the setting you need to change.
-
Once you have verified that your network settings are correct, press OK to save the settings and return to the Network Settings menu.
- Press the Home button to return to the Home menu.
- On your wireless computer, connect to the wireless network name (SSID) you created for your printer (see your computer or wireless adapter's documentation for details).
- Once you've established a wireless connection, install the software on your computer.
