I installed WiFi Direct and it is now the default network for my computer. I have to change networks before I can use the computer on the internet. Can I disable WiFi Direct?

Hi @Golfwalker,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To disable WiFi Direct on your HP ENVY 6055 All-In-One Printer and revert to your regular WiFi network, you can follow these steps.

• Access Printer Settings: Ensure your printer is turned on and connected to your computer. You may need to access the printer's settings through its control panel or via the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
• Navigate to Network Settings: Look for an option related to network settings or connectivity. This may be labeled as "Wireless" or "Network Setup."
• Disable WiFi Direct: Within the network settings, there should be an option to disable WiFi Direct. It might be listed as "WiFi Direct," "Wireless Direct," or something similar. Select this option and choose to disable it.
• Confirm Changes: After disabling WiFi Direct, your printer should automatically reconnect to your regular WiFi network. Confirm the changes and exit the settings menu.
• Reconnect to WiFi: Once WiFi Direct is disabled, your computer should automatically connect to your regular WiFi network. If not, you may need to manually reconnect by selecting your network from the list of available WiFi connections on your computer.

By following these steps, you should be able to disable WiFi Direct on your HP ENVY 6055 All-In-One Printer and restore your regular WiFi network as the default connection for your computer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
