Canon TS3522 Not Connecting After Router Change
Replacing the router can leave the printer configured for a network that no longer exists.
Compare the new router's:
- Wi-Fi network name.
- Wireless password.
- Network configuration.
If these details changed, configure the TS3522 for the current network. The printer cannot be expected to automatically know the credentials of a replacement network.
Canon TS3522 Won’t Connect After WiFi Password Change
If the router's Wi-Fi password was changed, the printer may still be trying to use its previous network information.
Repeat the appropriate wireless configuration and provide the current network credentials. After the TS3522 reconnects, verify that your computer or mobile device can find the printer.

If the wireless connection fails, identify where the setup stops before repeatedly changing settings.
Check the Network Name and Password
Make sure the intended network is being selected and the current credentials are being used.
Check the Printer for Errors
An unrelated printer-side error can interfere with setup. Resolve visible errors before retrying the wireless connection.
Restart the Printer and Router
A normal restart can help with temporary communication problems. Allow the router to become fully available before retrying printer setup.
Retry Wireless Setup
Repeat the setup carefully. Avoid repeatedly pressing control-panel buttons without knowing the printer's current setup state.
Check for Old Network Configuration
If the printer was used with a previous network, reconfiguration may be necessary.

Canon TS3522 Connected to WiFi but Computer Can’t Find It
A printer that has successfully joined Wi-Fi but cannot be found by a computer presents a different problem from a printer that cannot connect to the network.
Check:
- The computer is connected to the intended network.
- The TS3522 is powered on and ready.
- The correct printer entry is being used.
- An old or duplicate printer entry is not selected.
- The printer is not appearing offline.
- Compatible printer software is available when required.

Canon TS3522 Connected to WiFi but Shows Offline
An offline status does not automatically mean the wireless setup failed. The printer may be on the network while the computer is unable to communicate with the correct printer entry.
Check printer power, network status, the selected printer, and the print queue before repeating the complete wireless setup.
Check the TS3522 Driver and Printer Software
Driver or software troubleshooting becomes more relevant after the printer has successfully joined Wi-Fi but the computer still cannot use it correctly.
A driver reinstall will not correct an incorrect Wi-Fi password or a printer that has not joined the network.
If software needs attention, see: Canon Printer Driver Guide .
Should You Reset the Canon TS3522 for a WiFi Problem?
A full reset should not automatically be the first step for a wireless connection problem. First check the network, password, router, printer status, and normal wireless setup.
If network reconfiguration is actually required, use a procedure appropriate for the exact printer model rather than random button combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect my Canon PIXMA TS3522 to WiFi?
Turn on the printer, confirm the intended network is available, prepare the TS3522 for wireless configuration, and use a supported setup method to provide the current network information. After it connects, add the printer to your device and test printing.
Why won't my Canon TS3522 connect to WiFi?
Check the Wi-Fi network, current password, router status, printer error status, and the wireless setup process. Previous network information may also matter if the router or network has changed.
How do I reconnect my TS3522 after changing my router?
Configure the printer for the current network. If the new router uses a different network name or password, the printer needs the new information before it can reconnect.
Why is my TS3522 connected to WiFi but not showing on my computer?
Check the computer's network connection, printer entry, device discovery, offline status, and printer software. A computer detection problem does not necessarily mean the printer failed to join Wi-Fi.
Why does my Canon TS3522 show offline after wireless setup?
The computer may not be communicating with the correct printer entry. Check the printer's network status, selected printer, and print queue before repeating the entire setup.
Can I connect Canon TS3522 to a Mac over WiFi?
Yes. After the printer joins the intended wireless network, use the printer settings in macOS to locate and add the TS3522 when it is available.
