Ahoy @AnneMie1234! ⚓

Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Community! 

I’m here to help you troubleshoot this issue and get everything back to shipshape. Just follow these steps below, and we’ll have you sailing smoothly in no time:

1. Prepare Your Router for WPS:

• Make sure your router supports WPS and that it's enabled.
• Locate the WPS button on your router (typically on the back or side of the router).
• Have your router nearby for easy access during setup.

2. Turn on Your Printer:

• Ensure your HP ENVY Photo 7100 is powered on.
• Make sure the printer is ready to connect to Wi-Fi.

3. Access the Printer's Control Panel:

• On the printer's control panel, look for the Wireless icon or Wi-Fi button. It might look like a signal bar or a radio wave symbol.
• If the Wi-Fi is off, tap or press the wireless button to turn it on.

4. Select the WPS Option on the Printer:

• On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup or Network Setup. This may vary depending on your printer model.
• Select Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) option from the menu.
• You should now see options such as "Push Button" or "PIN". Choose Push Button WPS.

5. Activate WPS on Your Router:

• Within 2 minutes of selecting the WPS option on your printer, press the WPS button on your router. This tells the router to start looking for a device to connect to.
• Some routers may give a light signal (like blinking lights) indicating it's in WPS pairing mode.

6. Wait for the Connection:

• Your printer will now attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network. This may take up to 2 minutes.
• Once connected, your printer should display a confirmation message on the screen.

7. Print a Network Configuration Page:

• You can print a configuration page to verify that your printer is connected to the correct network.
• Go to the printer's control panel and find Network Configuration or Print Network Report. This will provide details about your network connection.

8. Complete Printer Setup:

• After the printer is connected to your network, you can proceed with installing the printer software on your computer (if not already installed).
• Download the latest software for your printer from the HP website and follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Additional Notes:

• If your router does not support WPS: You can still connect manually by entering the network’s SSID (name) and password via the printer's Wi-Fi settings.
• For PIN setup: If your router requires a PIN code for WPS, you should see a PIN displayed on the printer’s screen. Enter that PIN into your router’s WPS settings (refer to your router's manual for how to input the PIN).

I’m confident this will work wonders, but if you run into any bumps along the way or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to give me a shout! I’m always ready to help, just like a trusty first mate. 💪
