Can I disable wi-fi on a HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw. My work place does not allow it.

My work place does not allow wi-fi to be active on printers. Can the wi-fi capabilities of the HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw be disabled?

Hi ltyarr,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I understand you would like to disable the Wi-Fi.

I will be happy to help you.

Yes, you can turn off the wireless feature from the printer's control panel.

• Touch setup. (wrench)
• Right arrow to Network setup, press OK.
• Right arrow to Wireless menu, press OK.
• Right arrow to Turn Wireless on/off.
• Right arrow to off, then select OK.

I believe that this will provide a resolution to your issue. Thank you.

Turning Wi-Fi off is inadequate. It must be disabled -- a part removed so that it cannot be turned back on. Since I will use USB to connect, I am okay with disabling Ethernet at the same time if necessary.

Hi ltyarr,

I understand what you would like to do but you can just turn off the wireless radio or you can setup a password for the network and then disable the wireless radio.

I have provided the manual for the Laserjet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw. The section for

Product security features on page 56 allows you to setup the wireless and password protect the network. You can then turn off the wireless radio and nobody could access or setup a network without the password.

COLOR LASERJET PRO MFP.

Have a nice day.
