Basic wireless troubleshooting

Perform the following steps in the order presented.

NOTE: If this is the first time you are setting up the wireless connection, and you are using the HP software included with the printer, make sure that the USB cable is connected to the printer and the computer.

Step 1 - Make sure the wireless (802.11) light is turned on

If the blue light near the printer's wireless button is not lit, the wireless capabilities might not have been turned on. To turn on wireless, touch right arrow , touch Network, touch Wireless, touch Wireless Radio, and then select Yes.

NOTE: If your printer supports Ethernet networking, make sure that an Ethernet cable has not been connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer's wireless capabilities.

Step 2 - Restart components of the wireless network

Turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first and then the printer. If you still are unable to connect, turn off the router, printer, and your computer. Sometimes, turning off the power and then turning it back on recovers a network communication issue.
