To add WiFi to your HP printer, you can connect it to your wireless network using one of these common methods:
– **Using the Printer’s Built-in Setup Wizard (for printers with a display):**
Access the printer’s control panel, go to **Setup > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard**, then select your WiFi network and enter the password using the printer interface. Wait for confirmation of connection[1].
– **Using WPS (WiFi Protected Setup):**
Press the WPS button on your router, then within 2 minutes press the WPS button on your printer (or select WPS from its control panel). The printer will connect automatically without needing a password[1][2].
– **Using the HP Smart App (for smartphones or computers):**
Download and install the HP Smart app on your device connected to WiFi. Open the app, add your printer, and follow prompts to select your WiFi network and enter its password. This is especially useful if your printer lacks a display[3][4].
– **USB Setup Method (for printers without a display):**
Connect the printer to your computer via USB, run the HP installation software or app to set up the wireless connection, then disconnect the cable[1].
**Important points:**
– Ensure your printer is within range of the WiFi router.
– Use 2.4 GHz WiFi networks as many HP printers do not support 5 GHz networks.
– Make sure you have your WiFi network name (SSID) and password handy during setup[1].
These methods cover most HP wireless printers. Refer to your specific model’s manual or HP support website if needed for model-specific steps.
