To input your Wi-Fi key on your HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw, follow these instructions:

Power on your printer:

• Make sure your printer is turned on.

Accessing the control panel:

• Use the control panel on the printer.

Setting up Wi-Fi:

• Press the Wi-Fi button on the control panel.
• Select Network using the arrow buttons, then press OK.
• Choose Wireless Setup Wizard and press OK.

Selecting your network:

• The printer will search for available networks. Select your network from the list and press OK.

Entering the Wi-Fi key:

• You will be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi key.
• Use the keypad to input the key. The buttons function similarly to a mobile phone keypad. For example, pressing the “2” key will toggle through “A,” “B,” “C,” “2.”
• To input the key, repeatedly press the button until the desired character appears.
• Once you have entered the correct Wi-Fi key, select OK.

Completing the setup:

• The printer will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network with the entered key.
• Once connected, the screen will display a confirmation message.
