Hi there, 

My HP printer shows up as a wireless option - as a router, how do I disable that. Unfortunately, previous posts about it didn't help. Your help appreciated Thanks

Hi,

Make sure the Wireless Direct feature is disabled, click the Wireless Direct icon and select Settings, then disable Wireless Direct, which meant to allow a wireless connection to the printer without a router when required..

 

You may find a description of the different icons listed below:
