My printer will not connect to my wifi network. I disabled the 5 GHz channel after HP Smart told me I the printer could only cope with 2.4GHz. Yet still I the printer will not recognise the nextwork. I've tried setting up on the printer screen and using HP Smart without success. Any tips please?

Hi @JDWEBB,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to connect the printer to the network.

 

The printer supports Dual-Band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), you may refer to the printer specifications to know its features. 

 

Try the below suggestions -

Connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network (printers with a touchscreen)

Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

 

  • Place the printer near the network router.
  • Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.
  • From the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
  • Get the network name and password. Go to Find the wireless network password or PIN to connect an HP printer for more information.
  • From the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard.
  • Select your network, and then enter the password.

NOTE: If the Wireless Setup Wizard is not listed, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS, select Push Button, and then follow the steps to connect to the network.

 

You may refer to -No Connection after Router or Wi-Fi Settings Change

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
