Deskjet 3637
Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit)

Hi,

 

I had set-up my HP Deskjet 3637 on my wifi network earlier this year, now I have changed my internet service provider and have a new Wifi network. How can I update the Wifi on this printer. I tried the set-up again and did not work, the printer was not getting detected. Tried using USB cable and it still did not get detected.

 

Can you please guide me on how to change the wifi network on my HP deskjet 3637 printer?

 

Thanks,

Anush

Replacing/changing your wireless router, try here.  

http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/reconfiguring-system-help3.html

* 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.
* 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.  
* The router must have the 2.4G SSID band enabled with a different name than your 5.0G SSID band in your router.  
* 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 this does not work, 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.
