To set up Wi-Fi on your HP LaserJet Pro M15w printer, you can use either the WPS method or connect manually via Wi-Fi Direct or the HP Smart app.
Here are the key steps for **wireless setup with WPS**:
1. Make sure your printer is near your wireless router (within about 30 meters or 100 feet).
2. Press the **WPS button on your router**.
3. Within two minutes, press and hold the **Wireless button on the printer control panel** for at least three seconds and then release it.
4. The Wireless LED and the Ready LED on the printer will blink while it connects; when connected, the Wireless LED stays solid on.
5. Proceed with installing the printer software on your computer or device to complete the setup[1][3].
If your router does *not* support WPS or you want to connect manually via Wi-Fi Direct:
1. Turn on the printer and press and hold the **Resume/Cancel button** for a few seconds to print a Wi-Fi Direct info sheet showing the network name and password.
2. On your computer or mobile device, open the Wi-Fi settings and connect to the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network (using the printed password).
3. After connecting via Wi-Fi Direct, you can proceed to install HP software or use the HP Smart app to finish the Wi-Fi setup on your home network[2].
Additional setup tips:
– If needed, keep the printer connected initially by USB for software installation and wireless configuration, but remove the USB cable when setting up wireless[1].
– The HP M15w supports **only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi bands**, so make sure your network/router is using 2.4 GHz, not 5 GHz[1].
– Pressing and holding the Wireless button for 20 seconds can reset the printer’s wireless settings and help start a fresh setup[1].
For detailed setup guidance, HP provides user guides and video tutorials, plus software via the HP website or HP Smart app.
This covers the most reliable ways to perform a Wi-Fi setup for the HP LaserJet Pro M15w printer[1][2][3][4].
