HP Deskjet 2622 no longer connects to wifi

[rdh61]

My HP Deskjet 2622 since yesterday fails to connect to wifi. My computer can connect to the Internet via wifi: I can browse normally. I have followed these steps outlined elsewhere in these forums:

1. Locate the WPS button on your router, but do not press it yet.

2. Turn on the printer. If the printer is in sleep mode, press the Cancel button on the control panel.

3. On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless buttonfor at least 3 seconds or until the wireless light starts to flash.

4. On the router, press and hold the WPS button for 3 to 5 seconds or until it shows that the WPS connection process has started.

NOTE: The printer stops searching for a WPS connection two minutes after the wireless button is pressed. If you were unable to press the WPS button within that timeframe, attempt these steps again.

Once the printer connects to the wireless network, the blue Wireless light on the control panel turns on solid.

This does not work. The printer wireless light continues to flash indefinitely after carrying out this procedure.

Many thanks for any help.

Hi @rdh61,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

We have to perform a Semi Full Reset to unlock the features of the printer.

The reset instructions are specific to your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted. -

Thank you for getting back to me. Before you replied I found these instructions for another model of printer, which however worked for me:

-->On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button and the Resume button together for three seconds. (When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the display stays on) 

--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer 

--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP Deskjet2700).

--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings 

--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password to log in.

--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1

--->you will be able to access the printer's EWS page 

--->on the page, you will find network - click on it 

--->go to wireless and select wireless setup wizard

--->now select the network that you want your printer to connect to and type in the password 

--->the printer will have solid blue light if it's connected 

--->then connect your phone back to your network

That method worked for me too, brilliant thanks! Spent ages searching for a solution, HP need to add this method for the 2622 model as none of their suggestions in the help menu worked.
