Hi @Shiranne,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I understand that you are facing connectivity issues. I’d like to help!

Make sure, your printer and your device are on the same network as 2.4GHZ only. 

Is it a private (Home network) or a public Wi-Fi connection? Wi-Fi direct? Or Hotspot?
What device are you using the printer with a Windows computer, Mac, Android, or iPhone?

Meanwhile, To connect your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w printer to a Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the HP Smart App

Download and Install HP Smart:

• Download the HP Smart app on your smartphone or computer from the HP Smart website or your device’s app store.

Prepare Your Printer:

• Turn on your printer and ensure it is in a ready state.
• Make sure your printer is within range of your Wi-Fi network.

Connect Your Printer to Wi-Fi:

• Open the HP Smart app on your device.
• Click on the “+” icon or “Add Printer” option.

Method 2: Using the Wireless Setup Wizard (Windows)

• Install the software on your computer.

Run the Wireless Setup Wizard:

• During the software installation, select “Wireless” as the connection type.

Method 3: Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
