Hi @jouj,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP Smart Tank 6400 printer is not connecting to Wi-Fi, you can try the following troubleshooting steps.
Check Wi-Fi Settings on Printer:
- Ensure that the Wi-Fi is enabled on your HP Smart Tank 6400 printer.
- Navigate to the printer's control panel or settings menu to verify that it is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
Restart Printer and Router:
- Turn off your printer and then turn it back on after a minute.
- Restart your Wi-Fi router to ensure that it is working correctly.
Reconnect to Wi-Fi:
- On the printer's control panel, find the Wi-Fi settings or setup option.
- Select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to and enter the password if required.
Update Firmware:
- Check if there is a firmware update available for your printer. Visit the HP support website, find your printer model, and download and install any available firmware updates.
Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength:
- Ensure that the printer is within the range of your Wi-Fi router. If the signal is weak, consider moving the printer closer to the router.
Use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):
- If your router supports WPS, you can use this feature to easily connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network. Consult your printer's manual for instructions on how to use WPS.
Reset Network Settings:
- You may try resetting the network settings on the printer and then reconfigure the Wi-Fi connection. Be aware that this will erase any existing network settings, so make sure you have the necessary information (Wi-Fi password, etc.).
Check for Interference:
- Ensure that there are no electronic devices or physical obstacles causing interference with the Wi-Fi signal.
Printer and Network Compatibility:
- Confirm that your printer and Wi-Fi network are compatible. Ensure that your Wi-Fi router uses a compatible frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) and security settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the connectivity issue with your HP Smart Tank 6400 printer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
