I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know if you connect the laptop to the printer using Wi-Fi direct will it disconnect from the Internet.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

I would like to inform you that the laptop will disconnect from the internet as it will connect to the wireless network created by the printer.

 

Please refer to the below article to set up Wi-Fi direct.
