I'm suddenly unable to connect to Wi-Fi Direct because of a "5 Ghz Channel 64" (DFS) connection.

[Techdummy72]

My printer won't connect to Wi-Fi Direct.  It tells me that "my wireless network is using a restricted 5 Ghz channel 64 (DFS)."  It tells me that if I turn off 5 Ghz that Wi-Fi direct will be activated automatically.  However, I don't see how to turn off 5 Ghz.  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

5 Ghz channel 64 (DFS) is a router channel selection mode.

Examples of the many articles on the subject:

and

DFS channels and why to avoid them (even though you say you cannot) 

Lots more to learn / read - To get started, use your search engine

Search for "5 Ghz channel 64 (DFS)" or anything similar

Log into your router and edit / manage the channel selection and other settings.
