If your HP printer won’t connect to Wi-Fi, try these troubleshooting steps:
### **1. Check Basic Requirements**
– Ensure your **printer and router are powered on**.
– Verify that your **Wi-Fi network is working** (try connecting another device).
– Make sure the printer is **within range** of the router (avoid obstacles like walls).
### **2. Restart Devices**
– **Restart your printer**: Turn it off, unplug for 30 seconds, then power it back on.
– **Restart your router/modem**: Unplug for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
– **Restart your computer or phone** (if used for setup).
### **3. Verify Wi-Fi Network & Password**
– Ensure you’re selecting the **correct Wi-Fi network name (SSID)**.
– Double-check the **Wi-Fi password** (it’s case-sensitive).
– If your network has **dual-band (2.4GHz & 5GHz)**, try **2.4GHz** (most HP printers don’t support 5GHz).
### **4. Use the HP Smart App (Recommended)**
1. Download the **HP Smart App** ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.printercontrol) / [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hp-smart/id1106433946)).
2. Open the app and follow the setup wizard.
3. Select **”Set up a new printer”** and follow the prompts.
### **5. Run Wireless Setup on Printer**
– On the printer’s control panel:
– Go to **Settings (⚙) > Wireless or Network Setup**.
– Select **Wi-Fi Setup Wizard** and choose your network.
– Enter the password when prompted.
### **6. Check for Interference**
– Move the printer **closer to the router**.
– Avoid interference from **microwaves, cordless phones, or Bluetooth devices**.
### **7. Reset Network Settings on Printer**
– On the printer, go to **Settings > Network > Restore Network Settings**.
– Then, try connecting again.
### **8. Update Printer Firmware**
– Connect the printer via **USB** to a computer and use **HP Smart** or [HP Support Assistant](https://support.hp.com) to update firmware.
### **9. Try a Direct Connection (Temporary Fix)**
– Use **Wi-Fi Direct** (if available) or connect via **USB cable** temporarily.
### **10. Factory Reset (Last Resort)**
– Go to **Settings > Tools > Restore Defaults** (this will erase all settings).
If the issue persists, contact **[HP Support](https://support.hp.com)** or check your printer’s manual for model-specific steps.
