Hi everyone,

I'm having a bit of a headache trying to get my HP Envy printer to connect wirelessly to my Netgear Nighthawk router.
No matter what I try, the router just refuses to recognize the device on the network. I can't swap out the router because my landline runs via VoIP, and my old hardware lacks the necessary RJ11 FXS ports, so I'm stuck with this Netgear Nighthawk for now. To summarize: attempting to connect via standard network tools fails, using Wi-Fi Protected Setup isn't working, and I've even gone ahead and disabled the router's firewall...

Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing this?

P.S. I do have full administrative access to the router settings.

Thanks.

I mean, have you actually tried doing a full factory reset on the router and walking through the setup from scratch? Sometimes that’s the only way...
You could also try pushing a firmware update to the router—might fix some weird glitch.
Honestly, if you really want to know if the hardware is actually shot, maybe take the printer over to a buddy's place? If they’ve got a similar setup and it works there, then you know it’s just your network acting up...
