3. Check your router support website or documentation to make sure it meets the following requirements.
   • Many routers operate in both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands, but not all HP printers support both bands. Make sure the 2.4 GHz router band is enabled and broadcasting. If the router broadcasts separate network names (SSIDs) for each band, connect the printer to the 2.4
   • GHz band SSID. If the printer supports 5.0 GHz, connect it to the 5.0 GHz band SSID.
   • Bonjour support (Mac): HP recommends routers that support Bonjour, Apple’s network discovery software. Connecting with Bonjour is the best way to find the printer and support wireless printing.
4. On your computer or mobile device, open the list of available networks.
   • If the network you are connected to is not yours, disconnect from the network and reconnect to your normal Wi-Fi network.
   • Note: A printer connection cannot be established over public or guest networks that allow guest logins used in schools, hotels, or coffee shops.
