Hi,

 

I had to reconfigure/reset my router/wifi.  Now I cannot connect my printer to it.  I don't know why but connecting HP printers to your wifi network is always very difficult.  

 

I have looked through several posts on this forum and tried all the different ways suggested.  I also did a factory reset on the printer.

 

It is not connecting.

 

Please help.

*By the way, I have HP Smart app installed and it's completely unhelpful, especially for connection issues.  I was unaware of the HP Easy Start app.  It's a shame they can't just use one app for everything.
