Try these steps

Check Wi-Fi Router Position

  1. Positioning: Ensure your wireless access point or router is centrally located within your workspace and away from dense materials like metal or concrete.
  2. Channels: Change the wireless channel on the router to one that is less crowded, preferably channels 1, 6, or 11.

Printer Position

  1. Placement: Place the printer within an optimal range of the Wi-Fi router, avoiding obstructions.

Wireless Setup Wizard

  1. Access Control Panel:
    • On the printer, tap the Menu icon.
    • Navigate to Settings > Network > Wi-Fi.
    • Tap Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

HP Smart App Setup:

  • Open the HP Smart app.
