Are the network name (SSID) and password for the wireless access point correct?
Check the correct network name (SSID) and password.
The frequency bands for Wi-Fi supported by ScanSnap are 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz.
A password is referred to as an encryption key or a cryptography key depending on the wireless access point that is in use.
Usually, the network name (SSID) and the password are on the side or the bottom of a wireless access point device.
For details about the value to be entered, refer to your wireless access point manual.
If you do not know the password for the wireless access point, contact your network administrator.
Are you using a public wireless LAN service?
The function of saving an image created from a document scanned with the ScanSnap to a cloud service is not supported on public wireless LAN services under the assumption that the ScanSnap will be used in a Wi-Fi environment in an office or at home.
Connect the ScanSnap to a network other than a public wireless LAN.
Are multiple routers used?
If multiple routers are used, establishing a connection to the ScanSnap Cloud server may fail.
Disable the router function on the wireless router and check whether the connection can be established.
Are the ScanSnap and wireless access point distant from each other? Also, is there anything that may block the signal (such as walls and metal boards), or an electromagnetic source?
The signal between the wireless access point and the ScanSnap is weak, or there may be some signal interference.
On the touch panel of the ScanSnap, check the signal status with the icon that is displayed at the top of the home screen.
