Worst Wifi Scanner I've Ever Seen!

Purchased three weeks ago for a reputable five star reseller. No damage on delivery, installed according to box instructions, worked fine for 'three whole days,' then the wifi just quit. No problem with my modem, the scanner software would not reload under any conditions, despite following Canon's website instructions. The software is junk! DO NOT BUY!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that I can use this scanner to put all my documents into the digital world so I can get it quicker and easier. I hate having to go look for all my documents in all of my file cabinets this makes it so I can pull it up all in one spot. The scans look good and its easy to use. I am also loving that it doesn't take up a bunch of space on my desk. This is also helpful for my sanity, The town I lived in lost 3000 homes to a wild fire and many of my friends had to go through a year long process to recover all of their paperwork. The idea of having a paper document and a digital makes me feel secure and safe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my home office and it’s great. It does the job and doesn’t take up too much space on my desk. I would recommend this product to my family and friends. It’s able to handle mixed-size documents and that’s huge for what I needed it for.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this printer to be very dependable and easy to operate. From the box, to the easy set up, to printing in all most no time at all. I am pleased with the printing results. I recommend this printer to everyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great scanner and printer. I’ve been using this for a couple weeks and it hasn’t failed yet. The quality of the scans and copies is great. Also doesn’t use a ton of ink. Would recommend to anyone looking for a compact scanner and printer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon imageFormula R50 office document scanners works great. I love how you can scan double-sided documents and convert them to PDF format. The install was quick and easy. You should be up and running in about 20 minutes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work for a document management software company and use a scanner to upload to our system for testing purposes. I got this Canon scanner to replace an older scanner and it has been a breath of fresh air! I was clearing jams out of my old scanner whenever I had to scan multiple documents, and this scanner always feeds multiple pages through with no jams. The scanner is also very fast.
The only downfall I have experienced with this scanner is the set up. I have the Linksys Velop mesh wifi system, and I have been unsuccessful in getting the scanner hooked up to wifi. Your computer and the scanner must both be connected to the 2.4 GHz band. In wifi settings, the scanner pulls up two different available networks with the same name (assuming the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band of my router). I have tried to connect to both, and the scanner shows a “Now processing…” dialog on the screen forever and then doesn’t do anything. I resorted to using the USB and was able to hook that up just fine. I did need the TWAIN driver for the connection to our software, and was able to find that on Canon’s website.
The touch screen is very responsive, and the on-screen menus are simple to follow.
This was definitely a huge upgrade for me and I look forward to using it daily!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saves me so much time! I use it on my desk so I don’t have to go to the other room to the big machine. The scans are so clear, you would never know the difference! I recommend to everyone I see!!
