Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Well, you can reset to factory defaults -- it will wipe out everything, of course - Fax, other settings..

Were it mine to do, I might start a little farther back from that "factory defaults" line in the sand.

 

For example...

Page 110 - Configure IP network settings

 

Reference

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

 

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Network 

 

Look for settings...

Network Interface on / off, Network SSID name, Security Settings, Passphrase / Password

Select and connect to the correct SSID / network name for the bandwidth you are using.

 

What else?

Dual Band Network - Considerations

 

Reminders 

Some printers, particularly older models, only support 2.4GHz

Some printers support both 5GHz and 2.4GHz – but not at the same time

 

If you are running a Dual Band Network,

 Check that the router is set up to broadcast all frequencies it supports.

Next,

If your router supports it,

 Create a separate SSID named network for each frequency (5GHz and 2.4GHz).

and

 Connect the printer to the SSID network on the frequency / band you want it to use.

 

In general,

  • 2.4GHz is less fussy about obstacles and supports a longer distance (separation) between router and device (printer)
  • 5GHz is faster
