I have seen a few similar posts but still have not been able to reconnect my printer back to our wi-fi.  Was working fine the past year but then disconnected a couple weeks ago. My printer is able to find my router but then when I enter the password my printer tries to connect for a few minutes and then gives up.  I am able to connect my printer to my cell hotspot and can print so it is definitely with my network.  Nothing has changed on my network which is a Eero mesh network which supports both 2.4g and 5g networks.  I do know that my printer only works on a 2.4g network and am thinking that is part of the issue but I am not sure why it stopped working and why I can't find a solution to  reconnect my printer to my wifi.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Let's restore the network settings on the Printer: Go to>Setup Menu>Wireless>Restore Network Defaults

 

Once done try connecting the Printer to the Wi-Fi: Go to>Setup Menu>Wireless>Wireless Setup Wizard

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi and thanks for the reply.  I have done that a few times.  I just tried again.  After restoring network settings.  I tried to connect to my router.  Via the wireless wizard...I can find the router and enter the pw.  It tries connecting for a minute or two but results in a "Cannot connect to network" message.

Please remember not all your printers have a screen.

 

I cannot connect any longer to my wifi.  I cannot bring anything up in the software on my laptop to set up passwords etc.  How do I reconnect.  The virtual assistant has been less than useless and it's been a month since I can use this printer.

We'll have to perform a reset on the Printer for this. I have sent you a private message, for more details that cannot be shared in a public post.

 

Please do check your inbox on the forums page for the private message.

Hi...  My printer is a HP Envy 5530.  My OS Windows 10 Pro.   thx

Since you're able to connect to your phone, this isn't a printer issue. I recommend you to check with your network provider regarding this.
