HP printer won’t connect to new router

[sheila195]

Ever since we have changed to a Sky Max rougher my HP printer will not connect to the WIFI at all, driving me mad as I need it for working from home.

Tried numerous times switching everything off and in again and the router but nothing

Have you tried setting up your printer as if it was a new one so searching for your new network name and then using the new password to connect to it ?

Yes and it won't found the printer as it won't connect to the wifi. All been a nightmare since we had a new router to onto fibre

With a white Max Hub you may need to reduce the wireless security level from WPA3-T to WPA2-PSK using the Hub settings in the My Sky app.

It's not the white box it's a black one

@sheila195 HP printers can be a pain to connect.depending on the model reresetting the unit to its initial  settings can help. You will have to search online on how to do that for your model.

i have has success in the past by temporarily connecting the printer to a PC by a usb cable and updating the printer's firmware from HP's site and then trying again which has worked.

Hope thst helps.

I have the same problem ...HP wifi printer I have tried everything ...I work from home

Absolute nightmare! Took 3 days to get it restarted again, by lowering the security settings and then back up again 😡

I have no idea how to do that ! But I managed to get it linked to my mobile phone  and as the phone and Computer are on the same  network ...it works !! But I spent all day on this ...and now trying to scan something! More work to do.

I wont buy another HP for certain... well done for not throwing it in the bin!!

Thank you this worked  for setting up my printer and my old iPad. I did have to set the printer up as a new one as otherwise it wouldn't recognise the password.
