## 📌 **Why Wi-Fi Setup Matters**
Before we dive in, understand this: connecting your HP Envy Pro 6455 to Wi-Fi enables:
✔ Wireless printing from computers, phones, and tablets
✔ Mobile printing (AirPrint, Mopria)
✔ Scanning from your device
✔ Remote printing via cloud services
✔ Easy driver and firmware updates
Without Wi-Fi, the printer is limited to local USB printing only. So let’s get it connected right the first time. ([HP Support][2])

# 🎯 **Part 1 — First Time Wi-Fi Setup (Recommended Method)**

2. Wait for the printer to complete its startup routine (status lights may change colors).

## 📍 **Alternative Setup — Without HP Smart App**
If you prefer not to use the HP Smart app you can still connect using **WPS** or **manual network entry**.
**Printer Tales Support is here at 1-866-203-7571**
## 📡 **Method B — WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)**
Use this if your router has a **WPS button** (many older routers do). It bypasses typing a password.
### **Step-by-Step**
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Press and hold the printer’s **Wi-Fi button** (3 seconds) to put it into WPS mode.
3. Within 2 minutes, press the **WPS button** on your router.
4. Lights should blink then remain solid once connected. ([JustAnswer][3])
⚠️ Note: WPS is less secure and is not available on all routers. Only use if necessary.

## 🧠 **Part 2 — For Printers That Were Previously Connected**
If you’re reconnecting after a router change or new password, you have a few options.
**Printer Tales Support is here at 1-866-203-7571**
### 🛠 Option 1 — Restore Network Setup Mode
1. On the printer, press the **Wi-Fi button** (usually on the back).
2. Hold it for 3–5 seconds.
3. This restores network defaults and puts the printer into **Wireless Setup Mode**.
4. Re-run the HP Smart setup steps. ([HardReset][4])

### 🛠 Option 2 — Factory Reset (Only if Needed)
If nothing works:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Unplug power cord.
3. Wait ~30 seconds.
4. Hold the **Resume** button while powering on until lights flash.
5. This resets all settings — you must set Wi-Fi again. ([HardReset][5])

Even the best setups can hit glitches. Here’s how to resolve common issues.

### ❗ **1 — Printer Not Showing in HP Smart**
✔ Make sure your phone or computer is on the **correct Wi-Fi** (same network).
✔ Turn on **Bluetooth** — some versions of HP Smart use Bluetooth to find the printer.
✔ Turn off mobile **VPNs / data blockers**. ([TinyGrab][1])

### ❗ **2 — Wi-Fi Button Doesn’t Work**
Some users report confusion because the Envy Pro 6455’s button labels aren’t obvious.
The **wireless button** is near the power button on the back, not on a touch screen. ([HP Support Community][6])

### ❗ **3 — Printer Connects but Says Not Connected Later**
This happens often when:
🔹 Router uses a 5 GHz band only — Envy may prefer 2.4 GHz
🔹 Wi-Fi password was changed
🔹 DHCP / network settings altered
Try resetting network settings and reconnecting. ([Reddit][7])

### ❗ **4 — Connection Drops Frequently**
✔ Ensure the router signal is strong
✔ Avoid obstacles and interference
✔ Keep printer within range
✔ Restart router and printer
Self-healing Wi-Fi can help stabilize connections over time. ([Manuals+][8])
