Setting up your Canon PIXMA MX870 printer for wireless connectivity involves a few straightforward steps. First, ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and functioning correctly. Then, power on your printer and access the "Setup" menu via the printer's control panel. Using the arrow keys, select "Wireless LAN Setup" and confirm your choice by pressing the "OK" button. Choose "Standard Setup" and press "OK" again to initiate the setup process. Your printer will scan for available Wi-Fi networks; select your network from the displayed list and press "OK". If your network is secured with a password, enter it using the alphanumeric keypad on the printer's control panel and confirm with "OK". The printer will then attempt to connect to your wireless network. Upon successful connection, a confirmation message will appear on the screen. To verify the connection, you can print a network setup page. Navigate back to the "Setup" menu, select "Print LAN Details," and press "OK." The network setup page will provide important details about your printer's wireless connection, including the network name (SSID) and IP address.
