New Wi-Fi Router and Printer Stopped Working
Your internet company gave you a new router.
Your internet is faster.
Your phone works.
Your computer works.
Your television works.
Then you try to print something.
Nothing.
You start wondering:
“Did the new router break my printer?”
Probably not.
Your Printer May Still Remember the Old Network
Imagine your old Wi-Fi was:
MyHomeWiFi
Your new router uses:
MyNewHomeWiFi
Your printer may still be searching for:
MyHomeWiFi
So even though your internet is working perfectly, your printer doesn’t know where to connect.
This Happens More Than People Realize
A printer is another device on your home network.
When your network changes, your printer may need to be connected again.
This is especially common after:
- Getting a new internet provider
- Replacing an old router
- Installing mesh Wi-Fi
- Changing the Wi-Fi name
- Changing the Wi-Fi password
Your Phone May Make This Look More Confusing
Your smartphone may connect automatically because you’ve already entered the new password.
Your laptop may also remember the new network.
Your printer may not.
So you end up thinking:
“Everything else works. Why only the printer?”
That’s a good question.
What Should You Do?
Start by finding your printer’s wireless settings.
Look for:
Wireless
Wi-Fi
Network
or a wireless symbol.
Then look for your current home network.
You’ll usually need to enter the current Wi-Fi password.
But What If You Can’t Find the Right Menu?
That’s where things get frustrating.
Every HP printer is a little different.
You may be looking at a small screen with several menus and wondering:
“Which one am I supposed to press?”
There’s no shame in stopping there.
