How to Update WiFi Password on Epson L3100, L3110, L3150 Printer?

If you change your wifi password or install a new WiFi router, chances are you won’t be able to print using your Epson L3110, L3100, L3150, or other L series wireless printer. The main reason is that your printer cannot connect to your new WiFi router.

I encounter this issue recently because I change the password for my WiFi router. When I tried printing a document using my Epson L3150 all-in-one printer. It was unsuccessful. Moreover, the popup window also shows that the printer is not found.

The main reason the Epson L-series wireless printer is unable to connect to the new WiFi is that the old wifi password stored in the printer and the updated wifi router’s password do not match.

To be able to print again on your Epson printer via wifi connection. You need to update the password stored on your printer so it can connect to your WiFi network successfully.

The process is quite simple and it is the same in all Epson L Series (L3110, L3100, or L3150) printers. You do not need an installation CD that is included in the package when you bought your L Series printer. The only thing that you need to do is run the Epson Printer Connection Checker on your windows pc.
