Welcome to the HP Community -- a Peer-to-Peer Forum for people who use HP Technology

 

This is an older printer -- it does support Wireless, Ethernet Wired, and USB cable connections.

 

 Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer Series

 

 

The printer does not support 5GHz.

 

Your (new) router must be configured to broadcast the support the 2.4GHz frequency (in addition to the 5GHz frequency).

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

If your router supports it,

Create a separate SSID named network for each frequency (5GHz and 2.4GHz).

Connect the printer to the SSID network on the frequency / band you want it to use.

 

In general,

  • 2.4GHz is less fussy about obstacles and supports a longer distance between router and device (printer)
  • 5GHz is faster
