Hi @MMCC74,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To improve the stability of your HP LaserJet printer M110w's Wi-Fi Direct connection, especially when you don't have Wi-Fi onsite and rely on Wi-Fi Direct for printing, here are several steps you can take:

1. Ensure Firmware and Driver Updates

• Printer Firmware: Visit the HP Support website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer model. Updating the firmware can resolve bugs and improve connectivity.
• Device Drivers: Ensure that the drivers for your printer are up to date on your computer or mobile device. Updated drivers can improve compatibility and performance.

2. Proximity and Interference

• Positioning: Place your printer and the device (computer or mobile device) as close as possible to each other to strengthen the Wi-Fi Direct signal.
• Reduce Interference: Keep the printer away from other electronic devices that may cause interference, such as microwaves, cordless phones, or other Wi-Fi devices.

3. Restart and Reset

• Printer: Periodically restart your printer to refresh its connection. Turn it off, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
• Devices: Similarly, restart your computer or mobile device to clear any temporary glitches in the Wi-Fi connection.

4. Check Wi-Fi Direct Settings

• Printer Settings: Access the printer's control panel or web interface (if available) to check the Wi-Fi Direct settings. Ensure Wi-Fi Direct is enabled and that the settings are configured correctly.
• Connection Mode: Some printers allow you to switch between different Wi-Fi Direct modes (automatic vs. manual connection). Experiment with these settings to see if one provides more stable connectivity.

5. Use a Static IP Address (Advanced)

• Assign Static IP: If your printer supports it, assign a static IP address to the printer within your device's Wi-Fi Direct settings. This can sometimes provide a more stable connection compared to dynamic IP assignment.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
