Here's how it works: With your computer connected to the same router as the printer, navigate to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Set up a new connection or network -> Connect to a workplace and choose “Wired”.

Choose WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) and then click Next > Finish.

Now your printer is ready to print wireless. For your wireless network to work properly, the router you're connecting with must be compatible with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup.), and must support WPA2 encryption.

Epson recommends using a router that uses 802.11n or 802.11ac technology; they provide some models that meet those requirements and do not require you to pay extra for them.
