Where do I enter the WPS pin number

@Kathy___Dineen2,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) PIN is typically used to connect a device (like a printer) to a Wi-Fi network securely. The exact steps depend on what the OP is trying to connect, but here are the common scenarios:

 

If Setting Up a Printer Using WPS PIN Mode:

 

  1. On the printer’s control panel, go to Wi-Fi or Network Settings and look for WPS PIN mode.
  2. The printer will generate an 8-digit WPS PIN—note this down.
  3. On the computer or router:
    • If using Windows: Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a Printer and select the printer. When prompted, enter the WPS PIN.
    • If using the router’s web interface: Log into the router settings (usually via 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in a browser), find WPS settings, and enter the PIN.
  4. The printer should connect to the Wi-Fi automatically.

 

If Connecting Another Device via WPS PIN:

 

  • Go to the Wi-Fi settings on the device and select WPS PIN entry mode.
  • The router’s WPS settings page (accessible via web browser) will have a place to enter the PIN.

 

If you were to clarify what specific device you’re working with, I can provide more specific steps! 😊

 

Kind Regards,
