To set up Wi-Fi on your **HP DeskJet 2800e** printer, you can follow either of these two main methods:
**Method 1: Using the HP Smart App**
1. Make sure the printer is powered on and has paper loaded.
2. Confirm your computer or mobile device is connected to the desired Wi-Fi network.
3. Download and install the **HP Smart app** on your device (available on mobile app stores or the HP website).
4. Open the HP Smart app and sign in or create an HP account.
5. The app should automatically detect your printer; if it does not, tap the “+” and select your printer from the list.
6. Go to **Settings > Printer Settings > Network Setup**.
7. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
8. Tap “Connect”. Your printer will now connect to the Wi-Fi network and be ready for wireless printing[1][2][3].
**Method 2: Using Printer Buttons and HP Software**
1. On the printer, press and hold the **Wi-Fi button** and **Cancel button** together for about 3 seconds until the Wi-Fi light starts flashing. This puts the printer in wireless setup mode[2][3].
2. On your computer, download and run the **HP Printer Install Wizard** or use the **HP Smart app**.
3. During the setup, select your printer from the detected devices.
4. Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password when prompted.
5. Complete the installation and your printer will connect to Wi-Fi, enabling wireless printing[1].
**Additional notes:**
– The Wi-Fi password is the same as the password you use to connect your phone or computer to your wireless router; you can often find it printed on the back or bottom of your router[3].
– Ensure your printer is close enough to the Wi-Fi router during setup to maintain a strong connection.
– You can also reset Wi-Fi settings on the printer by holding the wireless button if you need to connect to a new network[4].
This process enables you to print wirelessly from computers, smartphones, or tablets connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your HP DeskJet 2800e.
