This is usually a signal strength or router compatibility issue. Let's get it locked in.

First, you'll want to restart everything. Turn off the printer, unplug your Wi-Fi router for 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Once the router is fully online, turn the printer back on.

If that didn't work, the printer might be too far from the router. Try moving it closer. Thick walls or other electronics can interfere.

Finally, check if your router is set to a very old wireless mode (like 802.11b/g only). This printer needs a stable Wi-Fi signal to maintain its Alexa integration for ink level alerts and wireless printing. If disconnections persist, you may need to adjust your router's settings or use a Wi-Fi extender.
