To hook up your HP printer to Wi-Fi, you have several reliable methods depending on your printer model and preference. Here are the main ways to connect:

**1. Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Button Method:**

– Ensure your printer supports WPS and your router has a WPS button.
– On the printer, press and hold the Wireless button for about 3 seconds until the wireless light blinks.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router for 3 to 5 seconds until its WPS light blinks.
– The printer will connect automatically; the wireless light will stop blinking when connected[1].

**2. Using the HP Smart App (recommended for most HP DeskJet and other models):**

– Turn on the printer and ensure it’s ready.
– Connect your mobile phone or computer to your Wi-Fi network.
– Download and install the HP Smart app on your device.
– Open the app, sign in or create an HP account if needed.
– Add your printer by tapping the “+” icon if it’s not detected automatically.
– Select your printer, go to Printer Settings > Network Setup.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– The app will connect the printer to Wi-Fi, confirmed by the wireless light steady or stopping blinking[2][4].

**3. Manual Wireless Setup via Printer Control Panel:**

– On printers with a screen, navigate to the Network or Wireless Settings menu.
– Select “Wireless Setup Wizard” or similar.
– Pick your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Wait for the connection confirmation[3].

After connecting, you can install HP printer software or apps on your devices to begin printing wirelessly. For troubleshooting, ensure the printer and router are close enough and Wi-Fi is active[3].
