Epson WF-3640 won’t print wirelessly [Troubleshooting guide]

In either case, the printer usually can’t connect to Wi-Fi.

Why is my Epson printer not connecting to Wi-Fi?

Some users might see an Epson Printer Wi-Fi Setup Failed message when trying to set up the WF-3640 for wireless printing.

The wireless setup might fail due to users entering invalid SSID or password details. That issue can also arise due to network settings conflicts or dropped Wi-Fi connections.

Some WF-3640 users, who have already set up the printer, might see a Printer is offline message when they try to print wirelessly.

This wireless printing error can be a printer driver issue. However, firewalls can also block Epson wireless printer connections.
