Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M183fw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Having problem connecting printer to home WIFI network. Made numerous attempts using USB connection at first (printed fine). when I attempted to

connect to WIFI network it went to WIFI direct mode and asked me to enter a PIN/Password. My router does not support WPS. At present I am getting a blinking blue WIFI display on printer panel. I even did a factory reset (pressing< and WIFI at the same time and powering on printer and releasing </Wifi buttons once printer initialized). Downloaded printer troubleshooting Wizard to correct the issue with no luck. I even downloaded the full software suite with drivers. just a summary note, printer worked fine with a different WIFI router at a different location.  At present I can only print documents when the USB is connected directly to printer. It does recognize printer when I use a mobile device, but it is grayed-out.
