Changing wi-fi settings on the printer

[Cordeliahanzson]

I have troubles with chaning the wi-fi setting on my printer. I have no computer but use my iPad or my mobile phone. I installed the device in another home and now the printer is set to the wrong wi-fi. The printer only have a little display and physical bottons. I tried reading the manuals but couldnt find anything about chaning to a different wi-fi network, I only found how to switch on and off the wi-fi. It is troublesom since the printer have no real screen and I dont know what to do. For now, the direct AirPrint is working but then i need to be offline on the iPad as well and are unable to print large files directly from the internet. The printer I have is a HP DeskJet 2632 All-in-One-skrivare. Ever greatful for any suggestions on my issue.

thank you in advance.

Replacing/reconnecting/changing your wireless router, try here.

* Reset your printer back to Network Defaults.  Then run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect.  Both can be accessed from the front panel or computer.  If no front panel for configuration, you must use your Printer USB cable to connect.  You can also try the WPS method if your router/printer supports this only if the Wizard or Printer USB cable is not available.  Read your User Guide for info.

* Wireless printers only connect to the 2.4G band in your router.  The router must have the 2.4G SSID band enabled with a different SSID name than your 5.0G SSID band in your router.

* Set router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never ‘auto’.  Try channel 1 first then the others one at a time.

* Make sure printer and router are at least 5 feet apart. 

* Make sure IPv6 is disabled in the printer.

Make and model of modem and router?

However if you have a Gateway (modem+router) device, all Gateway devices are terrible for wireless connectivity.   If it works, it works.  If it doesn’t… suggest you think about putting that gateway device in full bridge mode and install your own high quality router that YOU have full control over.
