[A_Gayathri]

HP DeskJet 2600 All-in-One Printer series (including models like 2633) showing a Wi‑Fi connection issue / error code 2545 , the blinking Wireless light with Wireless icons on or blinking means the wireless signal is on, but the printer cannot connect to the network.

Common reasons include weak signal, printer sleep/offline state, incorrect network connection, or incomplete wireless setup.

Troubleshooting steps

1. Wait a few minutes

   • The Wireless light can blink while the printer is trying to connect to the router or access point.
   • After a few minutes, check whether the light becomes steady.
     
     

2. Check signal strength and network quality

   • Move the printer and your computer/mobile device closer to the wireless router.
   • If Wi‑Fi is slow or unstable, restart the router by unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, and plugging it back in.
     
     

3. Make sure the printer is awake

   • If the printer is off or in sleep mode, press the Power button or interact with the control panel to wake it.
     
     

4. Confirm the printer is on the same network

   • Make sure the wireless signal is enabled and that the printer and device you are printing from are connected to the same Wi‑Fi network.
     
     

5. Reconnect the printer to Wi‑Fi

   • For printers without a touchscreen, press and hold the Wireless button for five seconds or until the wireless light starts flashing.
   • Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router.
   • The Wireless light should stop flashing when the connection completes.
     
     

6. Restart all devices

   • Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear temporary connection errors.
     
     

7. Use HP App setup requirements

   • If using HP App, enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so the app can detect the printer during setup.
     
     

8. Reset wireless settings and reconnect

   • HP recommends resetting the printer wireless settings and then reconnecting it to the local Wi‑Fi network.
     
     

9. Print a Wireless Test Report

   • HP recommends printing a wireless/self-test report for more details about the connection issue.
     
     

10. Check for router-related restrictions

• Wireless isolation or router settings can prevent the printer from appearing online.
