MR6500 WPS Canon printer connection

Question

When trying to connect our Canon Pixma G3660 printer to our network via WPS &nbsp;connection, we keep getting a ‘Timeout’ message. We’ve tried restarting the both the Netgear Nighthawk MR6500 WiFi and the printer and repeating the WPS connection procedure but without success. Any suggestions welcome.

A good way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.

The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.
