Hi @KYmBee,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are having issues with the connectivity. 

Make sure, your printer and your device are on the same network as 2.4GHZ only. 

This could be a compatibility issue with your current OS. 

Is it a private (Home network) or a public Wi-Fi connection? Wi-Fi direct? Or Hotspot?
What device are you using the printer with a Windows computer, Mac, Android, or iPhone?

If your HP LaserJet M209dw printer is showing a flashing orange light after connecting to your new Wi-Fi network, it usually indicates that there's an issue with the printer's connection or status. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

**1. Check Printer Status:

• Consult the Printer’s Manual:
  • The flashing orange light can signify various issues. Refer to the printer’s manual or HP support website for specific meanings of the light patterns.

**2. Verify Wi-Fi Connection:

Check Wi-Fi Connection:

• Ensure that your printer is properly connected to your new Wi-Fi network. You can print a network configuration page to check the connection status:
  1. Access Printer Menu: Use the printer's control panel to navigate to the Network or Wireless settings.
  2. Print Network Configuration Page: Look for an option like Print Network Configuration Page or Print Network Report.

Reconfigure Wi-Fi Settings:

• If the Wi-Fi connection is incorrect or not set up properly, you may need to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings on your printer. Follow the steps to connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network:
  1. Access Wireless Setup: On the printer's control panel, go to Wireless Setup or Network Setup.
  2. Select Network: Choose your new Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password.

**3. Check for Firmware Updates:

• Update Firmware:
  • Outdated firmware can sometimes cause connectivity issues. Check for and install any available firmware updates for your printer:
    1. Visit HP Support Website: Go to the HP Support website and search for your printer model.
    2. Download Updates: Download and install the latest firmware updates.

**4. Restart Devices:

• Restart Printer and Router:
  • Turn off your printer and unplug it from the power source. Do the same for your Wi-Fi router. Wait for about 30 seconds, then plug them back in and turn them on.
