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 included software, make sure that the USB cable is connected to the device and the computer.

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

If the blue light near the HP device's wireless button is not lit, the wireless capabilities might not have been turned on. To turn on wireless, press and hold the Wireless button for three seconds.

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

If you still are unable to connect, turn off the router, HP device, and your computer. Sometimes, turning off the power and then turning it back on will recover a network communication issue.

Step 3 - Run the Wireless Network Test

For wireless networking issues, run the Wireless Network Test. To print a Wireless Network Test page, press the Wireless button. If a problem is detected, the printed test report will include recommendations that might help solve the problem.
