Hi @cbates2323 ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand your HP DeskJet 2600 is having trouble reconnecting to WiFi, here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check the Printer’s WiFi Settings:

• On the printer’s control panel, go to the settings menu and select "Wireless Setup Wizard" or "Network Setup" to reconnect to your WiFi network.

Restart Your Devices:

• Power off your printer, router, and any connected devices. Wait for about 30 seconds, then turn everything back on. Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Check Your WiFi Network:

• Ensure that your WiFi network is working properly by checking other devices. If there are issues with your network, you might need to reset your router.

Update Printer Firmware: Update the firmware on an HP printer 

• Make sure your printer’s firmware is up-to-date. You can check for updates through the HP Smart app or by visiting the HP support website.

Reconfigure Wireless Settings:

• Use the HP Smart app or the printer’s control panel to reconfigure the wireless settings. Sometimes reconnecting to your network through the setup process can help.

Network SSID and Password:

• Verify that your network SSID and password are correct. If you recently changed your network password, make sure you update it on your printer as well.

Check for Interference:

• Ensure there are no physical obstructions or electronic devices causing interference between your printer and router.

Reset the Printer’s Network Settings:

• On the printer’s control panel, look for an option to restore network settings or perform a network reset. After resetting, try to reconnect to your WiFi network.

Use WPS (WiFi Protected Setup):

• If your router supports WPS, you can use this feature to connect your printer. Press the WPS button on your router and follow the instructions on your printer to complete the setup.

Manual Connection:

• If the automatic setup fails, you can manually enter your network details via the printer’s control panel.
