HP Tango
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I recently got a new ISP and router. My HP Tango refuses to connect to it. 

When I go through the HP Smart App (on Windows or on Android), I do "Set up a new Printer" and I see the Tango ready for setup, then I tell it my wi-fi name and password, and it says it can't connect. 

Things I've tried:

- Factory resetting the Tango

- Resetting the Router

- Connecting via WPS (printer still never finds the network)

- Changing my Router settings to enable "Smart Connect" which should allow devices to connect to the right band.

- Completely disabling the 5ghz band on my router so that only the 2.4ghz band was available.

- Printing via Wi-Fi Direct (might be a different issue, but I got it to show up on my Android and pressed the confirmation on the printer and it still says "Printer Unavailable")

- Ensuring Drivers are up to date

 

None of these have changed anything. Right now the printer has it's two upper lights on and it's main light is blinking twice and then moving from the center to the edges. All Blue.
