How to connect Epson projector to laptop via wireless

A combination of a Laptop and projector are a perfect match for presentations, meetings, and even churches.

In today’s era computers can be connected to projectors wirelessly or with an HDMI cable with the help of in-built wifi or HDMI cable.

But if you own a projector that has wifi connection and you don’t know how to connect Epson projector to laptop via wireless then below we have explained different methods for you.

The wireless projector gives users more options for connecting and projecting content from smart devices, whereas the wired projector is still thought to have a more stable connection.

Many people still prefer wired projectors over WIFI devices because wired gives a more stable connection instead of wifi ones.

Epson Projectors also have a lot of different models based on the budget, resolution, and different types of features.

But if we talk about wireless connectivity then the majority of the Epson models and brands come with WIFI features.

Yes, some do have Bluetooth options but as per the reviews and my personal experience, the Bluetooth connection isn’t that stable at times.

You don’t want your product presentation to go with an error due to an unstable connection when you are using a Bluetooth connection instead of wifi or HDMI connectivity.

Steps

Connect the wireless LAN module to the projector’s USB A port.

This step is fairly easy, ensure the cables are of good quality and the signal supply is stable. It is better to carry a few extra cables just in case the connected one comes out damaged or stripped out while doing the set-up.

Open you’re the list of available wireless networks in the menu and select your projector’s name.

Depending on your system operating system [OS] and platform, the location of this option may differ from model to model.

If you are using windows then usually on all windows OS the available network options would be there on the bottom right corner of the home screen.

On Mac OS, to access network options, choose the Apple menu then System Preferences, and then click Network. There you will have to choose the projector’s name to connect to it.

During projector setup, download and run the EASYMP network projection software.

While you connect the printer to the network options on your system, download and install EasyMp Network Projection software from Epson’s website.

Choose the right setup depending on your operating system as you may find the setup for Windows and Mac separately. (Link is provided above).

A menu will appear on the screen, from which you can select the fast connection mode and then click OK.

Once the software is installed, open it and you will land on the menu page of the projector, there you have to choose an option called fast connection mode and click OK.

Continue the step by opting for the name of your projector, followed by Connect. Soon after, your laptop screen will be displayed on the projector screen.

There will be some risks encountered during the connection process so its better to watch the above video.

Some common issues, such as images from laptops not appearing on the projector screen despite being connected, at this point, you must follow some basic steps.

To begin, use the projector’s remote to search for a source. There will be two scenarios:

  1. The first will display the NO signal on the screen.
  2. The second problem might be “it will display a blank screen or no movement”.
  3. Now you must review your actions because two major problems are faced by Epson users while connecting to the laptop.

To maintain a stable connection, make sure your EPSON projector is in blue light and does not flicker.

Note
It is always better to use the closest LAN signal as a bridge for the projector and laptop or system.

There should be no network blocking obstacles at any time while the projector is being wirelessly run. The block in the signal path can cause continuous disconnection and breakage of the connection. 

Now let’s discuss one more method of connecting the Epson projector to the laptop wirelessly.

Method 2

Step 1: Insert the wireless router into the projector using a USB stick.

In order to connect your projector wirelessly, you’ll need a wireless router that’s compatible with Epson projectors.

If you have access to one, then it will be easier for you. However, if you don’t have access to a wireless router here is how to connect your laptop and projector with the help of the cable method.

Plug in an Ethernet cable from your laptop to the wireless router.

This will enable your laptop’s Wi-Fi capabilities and make it possible for it to communicate with your Epson projector via the USB stick. 

Step 2: Now that your wireless router is in place, it’s time to connect your projector.

First, power on both the projector and the laptop.

Once they are both turned on, you should see the Epson logo appear on the projector screen when both the devices are connected with the help of a converter.

At this point, you’ll need to enter the password for your wireless network. This can usually be found on a sticker or card attached to the router.

If you’re not sure what the password is, try contacting your internet service provider (ISP) for help.

Once you’ve entered your password, press “Enter” or “Return.” The projector will then attempt to connect to the wireless network.

If it’s successful, you should see a message on the screen that says “Connection Established.”

If you don’t see this message, it means that the projector was not able to connect to the wireless network.

In this case, you’ll need to troubleshoot your router settings and make sure that it’s properly configured for use with Epson projectors.

FAQs

My projector isn’t connecting to the wireless network. What can I do?

If your projector isn’t connecting to the wireless network, there are a few things you can try: Make sure that your router is properly configured for use with Epson projectors.

This can be done by following the instructions written above.

I can’t find my wireless router’s password.

If you don’t see the password on a sticker or card attached to your router, you can probably determine it by looking up the make and model of your wireless router online.

This information should be available through your ISP or wherever you purchased your product from. You can also try contacting Epson’s customer service department for help.

The projector says “Connection Established,” but I can’t see anything on the screen.

This usually means that the projector is not properly aligned with the laptop. Try adjusting the position of the projector until you see a clear image on the screen.

If this doesn’t work, you may need to recalibrate the projector. For more information on how to do this, please consult your projector’s user manual.

Conclusion

As you can see, connecting your Epson projector to a wireless network is actually quite simple if you have the right tools and equipment. If you find that this process is still too difficult for you, don’t hesitate to contact Epson’s customer service department for help.
