# How to Connect HP Printer to WiFi – Complete Step-by-Step Guide


The all-new HP printer has finally arrived at your doorstep. But there’s one thing you need to learn to print wirelessly from your new printer: make sure it is connected to your WiFi network. That’s quite simple, but if you find it confusing, do as mentioned here:

## Install HP Smart App

* Go to start.hp.com or search for the HP Smart app in your device’s app store.
* Install the app on your device (phone, laptop, tablet).
* Power on your printer.
* Press and hold the Wireless button for about 5 seconds until the wireless light starts blinking blue. This means the printer is ready to connect to WiFi.
* Launch the app and sign in or create an HP account
* Tap “Set Up a New Printer.”The app will automatically search for available printers.
* Choose your home WiFi network from the list. If you see both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, select the 2.4 GHz network because most HP printers work only with 2.4 GHz WiFi.
* Type your WiFi password and tap Continue. Wait for the printer to connect.
* Once connected, follow the prompts to finish the installation.

## Connect via Wireless Setup Wizard

* On your HP printer screen, tap the Settings or Wireless icon.
* Go to Network > Wireless Setup Wizard or Setup > Wireless Settings.
* Tap Wireless Setup Wizard, then let the printer scan for nearby WiFi networks.
* Wait a few seconds for the network list to appear.
* Select your WiFi network from the list.
* If you see both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, choose the 2.4 GHz network for a more stable printer connection.
* Use the printer’s on-screen keyboard to type your WiFi password carefully.
* Tap OK, Done, or Connect.
* The printer will now try to connect to WiFi. If the wireless light turns solid, it means your printer is successfully connected.

## Connect via WPS Push Button

* Look for a button labeled WPS on the back or side of the WiFi router.
* Turn on your printer and place it near the router.
* Press and hold the Wireless button until the wireless light starts blinking.
* Within a minute or two, then press the WPS button on your router.
* The router and printer will automatically connect without needing the WiFi password.
* Wait for some moments for the connection to establish.
* Once the wireless light on the printer becomes steady, the setup is complete.
* The printer is now connected to WiFi and ready to print wirelessly.
