Connecting your HP Deskjet 2700 to your Wi-Fi network using the WPS method is quick and hassle-free. It eliminates the need for entering lengthy Wi-Fi passwords and ensures a secure connection.

7. If your Wi-Fi network is password protected, enter your Wi-Fi password using the printer’s control panel.
8. After entering the password, press the OK or Enter button to confirm.
9. Wait for the printer to establish a connection with your Wi-Fi network. This may take a few moments.
