Step-by-Step Fix
Learn how to restore the wireless connectivity of your Canon PIXMA G7020 MegaTank printer. We will reset the network card and configure a static IP to prevent future connection drops.
Perform a Network Settings Reset on the Printer LCD Panel
Press the Setup button (wrench icon), navigate to Device settings > Reset settings > LAN settings only, and select Yes.
Re-establish Wireless Connection using Easy Wireless Connect
Press and hold the Wireless connect button on the operational panel for 3 seconds until "Follow instructions on PC/smart device" appears, then run the Canon printer setup utility on your computer.
Ensure your computer is connected to the 2.4GHz network band during setup, as most printer cards do not support 5GHz bands.
