Hi @Loki250,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand your HP ENVY 6020e All-in-One Printer isn't connecting to your Wi-Fi network despite pressing the WPS button on your router, 

here are some steps you can try:


Ensure WPS Compatibility:

  • Confirm that your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). If it doesn’t, the WPS method won’t work.

Reset Network Settings on Printer:

  • Go to the printer’s settings menu (typically found under "Setup" or "Network").
  • Look for an option to "Reset Network Settings" or "Restore Network Defaults." This will clear any previous network settings and let you start fresh.

Reboot Your Devices:

  • Turn off your printer, router, and any other network devices.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Turn on your router first, then wait for it to fully start up.
  • Turn on your printer.

Check WPS Procedure:

  • Press the WPS button on your router and within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer (or select WPS from the printer’s control panel).

Manual Wireless Setup:

  • If WPS doesn’t work, you can try connecting manually:
    • On the printer’s control panel, go to the wireless settings and select the option to set up a wireless connection.
    • Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter your Wi-Fi password.

Firmware Update: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Make sure your router’s firmware is up to date. Sometimes, an outdated firmware version can cause connection issues.

Printer Firmware Update:

  • Check if there’s a firmware update available for your printer and apply it if necessary. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Router Settings:

  • Ensure that your router’s settings allow new devices to connect. Check for any MAC address filtering or network security settings that might be blocking the printer.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
