2 Methods for Canon Pixma MG3520 Wireless setup


In this article, we are mentioning two simple methods to setup the printer. You will be able to establish a connection on your Windows device after just performing the below-mentioned steps.

Method 1: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) connection Method

First, you need to know the initial steps on how to connect the Canon Pixma MG3520 wireless printer. Check the WPS connection through these simple steps, such as:

  • You first need to check if the WPS Push button has a proper access point. You can check the guidelines from the device’s user manual. The network must have the WPA security protocol in it. 
  • You have to first check if the printer is turned On. Now, you have to tap on the WiFi button from the top of the printer until the alarm lamp flashes. 
  • You need to go to the access point and hold the WPS button for about 2 minutes. When you notice that the blue lamp is continuously flashing, then it is an indication that you have successfully connected to the access point. 

When the WiFi lamp stops flashing, that means the Wi-Fi has successfully connected with the printer. 

How to check if the network is successfully connected?


To check if the printer is successfully connected to the wireless network, you need to print a page. And for that, you have to do the following steps:

  • Then, release the button and you will see the network information page is completely printed.
