HP Deskjet 2540 Printer, using Windows 10 - how do change wifi?

[DereksMom]

Hello!

I have a new Wifi, and I need to change my wireless connection. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this, but I just can't seem to figure it out!  

Can anyone assist me?

Thx!

Please explain 'change wifi'?

I had to replace my router, so it's a new network name and password.  The printer is no longer connected thru wifi.

Replacing/changing your wireless router, try here.

Make sure your router is set to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never ‘auto’.  Try each channel one at a time.  Make sure they are at least 5 feet apart.

However if you have a Gateway (modem+router) device, all Gateway devices are terrible for wireless performance and connectivity.   If this does not work, suggest you put that gateway device in full bridge mode and install your own high quality router that YOU have full control over.

Oh my god, I have no idea what you're talking about LOL!  The router is thru Xfinity, btw.

Regarding the link you gave, I clicked on "Changing wireless settings", and instruction #1 says "From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu."  

What "control panel" are they talking about?

Your printer will have to use your Printer USB cable and rerun the wireless set again from the HP menus.
