How do I disable HP Wifi direct on my Envy 5640.  We don't need it, are having some Wi-Fi issues and it keeps coming up as a Wi-Fi Network.  Thanks.

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

Follow this link to access the EWS page of the printer.

 

Once done, goto network tab, then Wifi direct set-up and make sure it is "off".

 

Let me know if it worked out. 🙂

Thank you for the update,

I appreciate your time and efforts, 

 

I'm glad your kid's helped you to get it fixed. Is it the instructions which I gave in my last post, fixed it?
