Hi @rdj117 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I understand how frustrating it must be to have your HP Smart Tank Plus 651 refuse to connect to your 2G Google Fiber Wi-Fi network, even with the correct password. 

 

Let's go through some troubleshooting steps.

1. Restart Everything

  • Power off your printer, router, and computer.
  • Wait 30 seconds, then turn on the router first.
  • Once the router is fully online, turn on the printer and computer.

2. Reset Network Settings on the Printer

  • On the printer’s control panel, go to SetupNetwork Settings.
  • Select Restore Network Defaults.
  • Reconnect the printer to Wi-Fi using the Wireless Setup Wizard.

3. Check Router Settings

  • Ensure your Google Fiber router is set to 2.4GHz (some HP printers struggle with 5GHz).
  • Disable MAC address filtering (if enabled).
  • Try switching the Wi-Fi security mode to WPA2 instead of WPA3.

4. Manually Assign an IP Address

  • Open HP SmartPrinters & ScannersAdvanced Settings.
  • Assign a static IP address to the printer.

5. Update Printer Firmware

 

Let me know if any of these steps help! I appreciate your patience while we work through this.
