– Choose your WiFi network and enter the password.

**2. WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) Method (if your router supports WPS):**
– Press the WPS button on your router.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– Wait for the connection to complete; a solid WiFi light indicates success[1].

**3. USB Setup Method (for printers without a display):**
– Connect your printer to a computer with a USB cable.
– Download and install the HP app or printer software from HP’s official site.
– Use the app to add the printer and configure wireless settings.
– Disconnect the USB cable after setup finishes[1].

**4. Using HP Smart App:**
– Power on your printer.
– Download and install the HP Smart app on your mobile device or computer (Windows/macOS).

For detailed step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting wireless issues, and additional printer support resources, you can visit HP’s official setup guides or watch tutorial videos on HP’s YouTube channel[1][3].

This setup process generally works for most modern HP printers supporting wireless printing. If your printer is older or this doesn’t apply, please specify the model for more tailored instructions.
