Troubleshooting Connection Problems

There are a few troubleshooting steps you can take if you ever experience any difficulties when using your HP Deskjet Printer to connect to WiFi.

Some are;

• Verify that all cables are properly connected and on the same network as your computer and the printer. To print wirelessly, your device and the HP Deskjet Printer must be on the same network. 
• Check if the router is providing signal strength by bringing up the router configuration page and ensuring everything looks okay.
• Make sure your router is not blocking access for the printer by double-checking its settings on the router configuration page.
• Check Your Printer Settings. Incorrect printer settings could be to blame for your HP Deskjet Printer’s inability to connect to wireless networks. Verify that the proper type of wireless connection is active and that all other options are set correctly.
• Inspect the Firewall Settings. Make sure your firewall is not preventing your device from communicating with the printer. If that’s the case, you might need to tweak your firewall configuration or turn it off to make the connection work. As firewalls can prevent malicious activity and invasions, this should only be done if necessary.
• If everything else fails, try powering down and backing up your router, printer, and device. It can assist in restoring normal operation by clearing any settings that may have been causing connection problems.
