Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Mystery printer model is perhaps not fully configured to connect and actually stay connected to your network.

 

For example,

Odd disconnections might happen for one or more reasons -- including and not limited to:

  • You are running a Mesh Network - Printers do not always do well in a Mesh environment
  • The printer is not connected to the correct SSID named network for the frequency (2.4GHa or 5GHz) the printer should be using
  • The iPad is actually connected to your Data line and not to the same network as is the printer -- iPad and Printer need to be on the same network
  • The Wireless signal is weak
  • The router is overloaded, too far away, outdated, weak, old, or otherwise not able to serve the full needs of the network
