Hi @austria48,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP Smart Tank 6001 printer is having trouble connecting to your wireless network and the blue light keeps blinking, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue.

• Check Wireless Settings: Make sure your wireless network is up and running. Ensure that the SSID (network name) and password are correctly entered into the printer.
• Restart Printer and Router: Turn off your printer and wireless router. Wait for a few minutes, then turn them back on. This can sometimes reset the connection and resolve connectivity issues.
• Move Closer to Router: Place your printer closer to your wireless router. Sometimes, the signal may be too weak for the printer to establish a stable connection.
• Check for Interference: Ensure that there are no electronic devices or objects causing interference with the wireless signal. Items like microwaves, cordless phones, or other wireless devices can disrupt the connection.
• Update Printer Firmware: Check for any available firmware updates for your HP Smart Tank 6001 printer. Updating the firmware can sometimes address connectivity issues and improve overall performance.
• Reset Network Settings: You can try resetting the network settings on your printer to default and then reconfigure the wireless connection from scratch.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the connectivity issues with your HP Smart Tank 6001 printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
