how to reconnect hp printer to internet

To reconnect your HP printer to the internet (Wi-Fi), the most common and effective methods are:

1. **Using the Wireless Setup Wizard on the Printer:**
– On your HP printer’s control panel or touchscreen, navigate to **Setup** or **Network Settings**.
– Select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Wait for the printer to connect to the network, confirmed usually by a solid wireless icon or message[1][3].

2. **Using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Push Button Method:**
– Ensure your printer supports WPS and your router has a WPS button.
– On your printer, press and hold the Wireless or WPS button until the wireless light blinks or follow the menu to select **Wi-Fi Protected Setup > Push Button > Start**.
– Within two minutes, press the **WPS button on your router** for 3-5 seconds until the router’s WPS light blinks.
– The printer will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network once successful[2].

3. **Using the HP Smart App:**
– Download and install the **HP Smart app** on your smartphone or tablet.
– Open the app, tap the “+” icon to add a printer.
– Follow the on-screen steps to detect and connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network.
– This method is helpful especially if you recently changed your Wi-Fi network or password[1][4].

Additional tips:
– Make sure the printer is within Wi-Fi range.
– If you changed your home Wi-Fi network details, you need to reconnect the printer using the above steps.
– After reconnecting, printing a test page can verify the connection.

These methods cover most HP printers and networks. Choose the one that suits your printer model and available devices best[1][2][3][4].
