Wi fi power cord help?

Question

Unfortunately, I unplugged my Wi-Fi power cord for a few minutes. It was an accident. Now my wireless printer is not working. Can I get a new power cord to replace the other one? It is a little hard to get the cord in the outlet.

Answer 1

If you unplugged your Wi-Fi router, that wouldn't damage the power cord - you should be able to simply plug it back in and everything should work normally after a few minutes for the router to boot up.

Yes, you can replace it if it's loose or damaged. Find the model number on your router or modem. Search online.

I shall suggest you to try the following:

Turn off the printer.

Unplug the router/modem for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

Wait 2–3 minutes for Wi-Fi to fully restore.

Turn the printer back on.

Wait another minute to let it reconnect.

Try printing a test page.

Answer 2

If the suggestions by S.Sengupta didn't help, perhaps the following will.

It's possible that when your wi-fi router was turned off and back on it assigned a new IP address to the printer and Windows is trying to print to the old IP address.

Although there are several ways to fix this issue, the easiest is to uninstall and reinstall the printer.

For more details, please provide the make and model of your printer and the version of Windows you're using.
