I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8035 and I need to know if an additional WIFI can be added to it.

 

If so, what are the steps to add it?

Up to five PCs , tablets, or smartphones can use WiFi direct to this printer

 

 

There is no limit if the printer is connected to the router

Thank you, but I am referring to add another wifi to the printer, not how many tablets, pc's or cellulars can get connected.

 

I have the printer set up with one wifi already. I am asking if another one can be added.

The printers that I'm familiar with have the wifi circuitry on the main board and you can't replace it with a different wifi chip.  Laptops and many desktops have a WiFi card that can be upgraded to a different type of WiFi circuit.   You could upgrade a 2.4  that has just one antenna to a 2.4 and 5ghz combo with bluetooth and having 2 or more antennas.  This cannot be done on printers.

 

There are a few HP printers / plotters that have an optional WiFi , Ethernet or even USB option.  One can always buy the missing option .  It is sometimes called JetDirect

 

If your printer is designed to operate at 2.4 gigahertz there is no upgrade to make it run at 5 or 6  that I know of.
