Hi @Jean41646

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the connectivity issue. 

 

To better assist you - Is your router dual-band enabled i.e., both 2.4GHz and 5GHz? If yes, make sure the dual band has different SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G networks.

 

While you respond to that, please try these steps -

 

Step 1 Network Restore -

1) From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch ( Settings ).

2) Touch Restore Network Settings, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

 

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 -

1) On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, touch ( Wireless ).

2) Touch ( Settings ).

3) Touch Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

4) Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.
