Hi @Weedmansprayer,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand how frustrating it is when your HP DeskJet 2800 All-in-One printer won’t connect to Wi-Fi, especially when you just want to print without hassle. Let’s fix this together.

Steps to Connect Your DeskJet 2800 to Wi-Fi

1. Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode

• Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button together for 5 seconds until the Power button blinks and the Wireless light blinks blue.
• This puts the printer into Wi-Fi setup mode for 2 hours.

2. Use HP App

• Download HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site.
• Open the app → Tap Add Printer → Follow on-screen instructions.
• Make sure: 
  • Your phone/computer is on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
  • Bluetooth and Location are enabled on your device.
• Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
• When connected, the Wireless light will stop blinking and stay solid.

3. Update Firmware

• Go to HP DeskJet 2800 All-in-One Printer series | HP® Support.
• Install the latest firmware update.
  This ensures compatibility with your network.

4. Check Network Settings

• Ensure your router is broadcasting 2.4 GHz.
• Move the printer closer to the router.
• Restart your printer, router, and device.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
