HP 6500 wireless printer. Recognizes my router, Netgear 85. Recognize my password. !) not connected to a computer?? even with ethernet cable connected. 2) Wants a WPA passphrase. I have the netgear R6700v3 up. I have searched high and low for the passphrase. There is none to be found. I want to be able to scan to computer. I cannot as no computer, and WPA problem. This is nuts!

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Is your router dual-band enabled i.e., both 2.4GHz and 5GHz? If yes, make sure the dual-band has different SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G networks.
- What is the distance between the router and the printer?
- What's the Wi-Fi light status on the Printer(Blinking or Steady)?
This printer supports WPA encryption, check if the router is on the same encryption method. If using WEP or WPA-PSK+FT change it to WPA-PSK.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
