Hi @Nabri,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To add your HP device's MAC address to your wireless router, follow these general steps. Note that exact instructions can differ based on your router model, so you might want to refer to your router's manual for specific details:
 

Steps to Add a MAC Address to a Router:

Find the MAC Address of Your HP Device:
 

• You can locate the MAC address by printing a Network Configuration Report from your HP printer. This report typically includes the device's network settings, including the MAC address.

Access Your Router's Settings:
 

• Open a web browser on your computer and enter the router's IP address into the address bar. This IP address is often something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, but check your router's documentation for specifics.
• Log in to the router’s admin panel using your username and password. If you haven't changed these from the default settings, consult your router manual for the default login credentials.

Locate the MAC Filtering or Network Access Section:
 

• Once logged into the router's interface, look for sections such as "Wireless," "Advanced Setup," or "Network Management."
• Find the subsection labeled "MAC Filtering," "Access Control," or similar.

Add the MAC Address:
 

• Find the option to add a new device or MAC address to the list.
• Enter the MAC address of your HP device.
• Save the changes to the router settings.

Restart the Router:
 

• After adding the MAC address, restart the router to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
