HP Envy 5010 printer does not recognise wifi router

[GaryMorley]

Hi, I'm having a major nightmare trying to set up this printer. It doesn't connect to my wifi router or even recognise the presence of any networks. The HP Smart app does not recognise my printer because it is not connected. The printer did not come with a cable, so I can't connect directly to my PC or laptop. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks Mans! I had tried turning things on and off but not in that order, and it has done the trick! Big relief 🙂
