Your wireless network (wifi) will have a password. Either written down somewhere, or accessible via the admin web page for the wifi box.

For the printer, either by the software for it or perhaps on a screen on the printer itself, you can select the network and pop the password for the wifi in there. That software will then be installed on your laptop/computer, and install the printer and point the laptop/computer to the printer on the wireless network.

It does, thanks.

What devices will you be printing from? Windows computer, apple computer, apple phone, android phone?

Each device will have a programme that can guide you as to how to connect to your printer.

Or for a Windows computer you could go to the printer itself and in it's menu go to settings, then network or WiFi settings. Look for your router name, select it then enter the password for your router. Normally this will be printed on the router and it assumes it's never been changed.

Then from your Windows computer search for "printers" and this should now return your Canon printer. Select it then follow the Windows prompts that may include the download of drivers.
