To set up **HP Deskjet 2810e** for Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
1. **Prepare the printer for wireless setup:**
– Press and hold the **Wi-Fi button and the Cancel button together for 3 seconds** until the Wi-Fi light starts flashing. This puts the printer in wireless setup mode[1][2][3].
2. **Download and open HP Smart app:**
– On your smartphone or laptop, download the **HP Smart app** from the app store or HP website.
– Open the app and tap the **+ (plus) icon** to add a new printer[1][2][3].
3. **Connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network:**
– In the HP Smart app, select your printer (e.g., HP DJ 2800 series).
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password (usually found on the back of your router or the same password you use for other devices)[1][3].
4. **Enable Bluetooth if prompted:**
– The app might ask you to turn Bluetooth on for easier communication between your device and the printer during setup[1][3].
5. **Complete the setup:**
– Once connected, the Wi-Fi light on the printer should stop flashing and remain steady, indicating a successful connection.
– You can now print, scan, and copy wirelessly from your mobile device or computer[1][2][3].
**Additional notes:**
– If your Wi-Fi network includes multiple boosters or extenders, the printer may randomly connect to any, which could cause connectivity issues due to changing IP addresses. Ideally, connect the printer directly to the main router[4].
– Alternatively, you can use **Wi-Fi Direct** to print directly from your device to the printer without connecting through your router[4].
– A reset of the Wi-Fi setup can be done similarly if you want to reconnect or change networks[4].
These instructions cover the typical wireless setup process for the HP Deskjet 2810e, as demonstrated clearly in several setup videos and HP documentation[1][2][3][4].
