Hi @matyso,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the blue light on your HP Officejet Pro 8610 printer is still blinking after changing the router and updating wireless information, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.

Restart the Printer:

• Turn off the printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This simple step can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Reconfigure Wireless Settings:

• Access the printer's control panel and navigate to the wireless settings. Re-enter the new wireless network information, ensuring that the SSID and password are correct.

Reset Network Settings:

• On the printer's control panel, find the "Setup" or "Settings" menu.
• Look for an option to reset network settings or restore default settings. This might vary depending on your printer model.
• After resetting, reconfigure the wireless settings with the updated information.

Check Router Settings:

• Ensure that the new router settings are correct and that the printer is within the wireless range of the router.
• Verify that the router is broadcasting on the correct frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) that your printer supports.

Update Printer Firmware:

• Visit the HP support website for your printer model and check if there are any firmware updates available. If so, download and install the latest firmware.

Remove and Re-add the Printer:

• On your computer, remove the printer from the list of devices and printers.
• Re-add the printer, selecting the updated wireless information.

Check for Interference:

• Ensure that there are no electronic devices or obstacles causing interference with the wireless signal between the printer and the router.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):

• If your router supports WPS, you can try connecting the printer using the WPS button on both the router and the printer.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
