When You Need This Exact Article

The printer does not connect to Wi-Fi.
The Pantum installer cannot find the printer on the network.
The printer used to print over Wi-Fi but is no longer visible in Windows.
Wi-Fi printing stopped working after changing the router.
Several Pantum devices were found on the network, and it is unclear which printer to choose.

Most Important: This Series Works Only with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi

This is one of the most common sources of the problem. If the router broadcasts only 5 GHz or the computer is connected to a different network, the printer may not be found or may fail during setup.

If the printer does not connect to the network, first check the Wi-Fi band itself. This series must use a 2.4 GHz network.

What to Prepare Before Setup

A computer with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Your Wi-Fi password.
The printer turned on.
Preferably a USB cable. For this series, the first-time setup is usually easier and more reliable through USB.

Which Setup Method Is the Most Reliable?

For an average user, the most reliable scenario is this: temporarily connect the printer to the computer via USB, then use the Pantum installer to transfer the Wi-Fi settings to the printer.

Step-by-Step Wi-Fi Setup via USB

Connect the computer to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
Turn on the printer.
Run the Pantum V2.6.38 installer.
Select the Wi-Fi section.
Click “One-Click Install”.
If the installer asks you to choose a printer, select the USB printer.
Enter the Wi-Fi network name and password.
Wait until the setup is complete.
Print a test page.

If the Printer Is Already Connected to Wi-Fi

In that case:

Connect the computer to the same network as the printer.
Run the Pantum installer.
Select the Wi-Fi section.
Click “One-Click Install”.
If several devices appear in the list, choose the correct printer by IP address or host name.

What to Do If the Installer Sees Several Pantum Printers

In that case, do not choose a device at random. It is better to identify it by:

the printer’s IP address;
the host name;
the printer that is currently connected to your network.

If the correct printer is not in the list, click “Refresh” and check whether the computer and printer are connected to the same network.

When Installation by Host Name Helps Better Than by IP Alone

If the router changes the printer’s IP address, the connection may disappear after the network restarts. In that case, installation by host name can sometimes be more convenient if the Pantum installer offers that option.

Can You Connect Without a Router?

Yes. For temporary printing, you can use Wi-Fi Direct. This is convenient if you need to print a document quickly without a regular home or office network. But for permanent use, the standard router-based connection is more convenient.

7 Common Reasons Why the Printer Cannot Be Found over Wi-Fi

The router or computer is using a 5 GHz network instead of 2.4 GHz.
The computer is connected to one network while the printer is connected to another.
The Wi-Fi password was entered incorrectly.
The printer still remembers an old network.
The router assigned a new IP address.
The installer found several Pantum printers, and the wrong one was selected.
After the network setup, the driver installation was not completed fully.

What to Do If You Need Wi-Fi Urgently but the Connection Does Not Work

If you need to print right now and Wi-Fi is getting in the way, temporarily connect the printer via USB and finish the job. After that, return to the wireless setup calmly.

When the Problem Is Not Wi-Fi

If the printer is connected to the network, visible in Windows, but does not print, the cause may already be the Windows print queue, an old driver, or a cartridge error. If the printer reports a toner issue or shows an orange indicator, that is a different situation.

Quick Conclusion

For Pantum Wi-Fi models in this series, the most reliable scenario is to connect the printer to the PC via USB, run the Pantum installer, transfer the Wi-Fi settings, and then check a test print. If the printer cannot be found, check the 2.4 GHz network first, not the driver.
