Hi @Tyler23231 ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are facing a connectivity issue with your HP DeskJet 2636 All-In-One Printer to a new Wi-Fi network, you can follow these steps:
Using HP Smart App
Download and Install HP Smart App:
- Go to the app store on your device (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Microsoft Store) and download the HP Smart app.
- Install the app on your device.
Prepare the Printer:
- Turn on the printer.
- Make sure it’s not connected to any other Wi-Fi network. If it is, you might need to reset the network settings.
Reset Network Settings (if needed):
- Press and hold the Wireless button (the one with the Wi-Fi icon) and the Cancel button (the one with the "X" icon) on the printer simultaneously for 3 seconds. This will reset the network settings.
Open HP Smart App:
- Open the HP Smart app on your device.
- Make sure your device is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect your printer to.
Add Your Printer:
- In the HP Smart app, click on the “+” sign to add a new printer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to find and select your printer.
- The app will guide you through connecting the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
Using the Printer Control Panel
Power on the Printer:
- Make sure the printer is turned on.
Press the Wireless Button:
- Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until the wireless light starts blinking. This puts the printer into Wi-Fi setup mode.
Connect to Wi-Fi Network:
- Go to your computer or mobile device.
- Open the Wi-Fi settings and connect to the printer's Wi-Fi network. It will be something like "HP-Setup-xx-DeskJet 2630".
- Once connected, open a web browser and type 192.168.223.1 into the address bar.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
Power on the Printer:
- Make sure the printer is turned on.
Activate WPS on the Printer:
- Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until it starts blinking.
Activate WPS on the Router:
- Press the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes.
- The printer and router will establish a connection.
