To connect your HP DeskJet 2700 printer to Wi-Fi, **press and hold the wireless (Wi-Fi) button and the cancel button together for about 3 seconds until the wireless light starts blinking blue**, indicating the printer is in setup mode[4][2][3]. Then, use the HP Smart app on your smartphone or laptop to complete the setup by selecting your Wi-Fi network and entering the password[1][3].
Here is a step-by-step summary:
1. **Power on the printer and load paper.**
2. **Press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the wireless light blinks blue** (this resets Wi-Fi setup mode)[4][3].
3. **On your phone or computer, connect to your usual Wi-Fi network.**
4. **Download and open the HP Smart app, then sign in or create an HP account.**
5. **In the app, tap the “+” sign to add your printer.**
6. **Follow prompts to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the network password.**
7. **Complete the setup; your printer connects to Wi-Fi and is ready for wireless printing[1][3].**
If the printer fails to connect, restarting setup mode (step 2) or checking your router settings (e.g., forcing 2.4GHz band usage, as the printer supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) may help[5]. For further troubleshooting, refer to HP support resources.
This wireless connectivity allows you to print from multiple devices within your network, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers, without cables[2].
