    HP Officejet 6500 won't stay connected to wifi


    I have an HP Officejet 6500 that just refuses to stay connected to wifi & I have to constantly have a wire hanging out the front of my computer if I want to print something.

    I should say I hate this printer all the way around.

    But if I could get it to at least stay connected to the wifi so I can freely print I wouldn't mind it as much.

    Any idea or help as to fix this persistent issue?

    Thanks.

    I'm not sure that I can help you much since I avoid HP stuff as much as possible. Their hardware seems good, but their software/drivers have caused too many problems for those that I support.

    Is there an option in the printer to assigning it a static IP address?

    Hey sorry guys, forgot about this.

    I'm not sure about assigning a static IP address, would I do this through the printer or the router settings?

    Would this be in addition to the link for HP Support site 2xg linked to or instead of following that walk-thru?
