HP Envy 5661

I purchased this printer 3 years ago and used it with HP Instant Ink for three years no problem. I recently reorganized my work space which reqired moving the printer from one side of the room to the other. Since this move, the printer has been unable to connect to my wireless router. I've tried restarting the printer and router with no success. The printer recognizes the network but fails to connect. The printer has no problem connecting to my computer remotely either, it is just an issue with the wifi connectivity. This has happened for long enough that HP Ink has stopped my ability to print all togther. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hi @PawPrint272

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Are you using a dual band router? 

 

While you respond to that, try these steps -

 

Step 1 Network Restore -
On the printer's control panel - 
1) Touch the "Wireless icon". 
2) Touch the "Settings" icon. 
3) Select "Restore Network Settings". 
4) Select "Yes". 

 

Step 2 Reboot the devices -
1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer. 
2) Wait for 60 seconds. 
3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 
4) Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself. 
5) Turn on the computer.

 

Step 3 Run Wireless Wizard - 
On the printer's control panel, go to the Network menu or touch the wireless icon and then go to settings. Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
