How to Connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi

Shows how to connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi.  Note that doing this will clear any WiFi settings on the DeskJet and connect it to a new WiFi network.

Connecting to new WiFi networks may become necessary after replacing a router / access point. This well definitely be the case if that new router has a different network name or password.  You’d also do this when moving the 3632 to a different office or home location.

We assume that you have installed HP’s All-In-One (AiO) app and configured it on the device you normally print from.  So we won’t delve into setting up that app here in this post.

How to Connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi: Step by Step

1. First, Reset the 3632’s Wireless Settings back to Factory Default Values

Hard reset the 3632 by following the instructions in our How to Reset HP Printer, 3630 Series DeskJet  article.

2. Find the HP All-In-One (AiO Remote) Support App

We’re running an iOS-based tablet here.

The app then comes up.

In our case, we had this 3632 connected previously.  So it shows up at the top of the AiO Remote home screen.

But if you’re using a different mobile device, then skip the next step. Why? Because the app will immediately give you the opportunity to add a printer.

4. Tap the Offline 3632 to Continue with How to Connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi

Note the red dot by the printer name, above the ink cartridge status indicator. This means that your tablet is unable to connect to the 3632 through the current WiFi network. So tapping this entry lets you select a different DeskJet.

9. Tap the   Continue   Button

This then brings up the   Connect to Printer  screen.

10. Bring Up your Mobile device’s  Wi-Fi Settings  Screen

11. Tap the   HP-Setup>F5-DeskJet 3630 series   Network

So this action temporarily disconnects your tablet from your usual WiFi network. It then connects it to this temporary HP hotspot network that the 3632 creates.

Next, a screen such as the following then displays.

12. Tap the Notification to Return to the AiO Remote App

So the notification might disappear before you tap it. Indeed you only have a few seconds to poke it before it goes away. But if that happens, then just close the  Wi-Fi Settings  window. Then find the AiO Remote app on your  Home  screen as in step 2 above, and tap on that.  Either way you choose, that app then displays the  Connect Printer to Network  screen.

13. Tap the Desired WiFi network to Connect the HP 3632 To

In our case, we’re connecting our 3632 to the 937T681J4059H_2G network.

So tapping this network brings up the password entry screen.

14. Enter your WiFi Network Password

Type the password into the field arrowed in the last picture, and then hit the Return or Go key.  The 3632 then tries to connect to the network you chose earlier.

So back on the tablet, the  Reconnect your iPad to your network   screen displays.

But, we notice that sometimes, the  Connecting  screen in step 14 above does not disappear. So you might see this happen even after the 3632 itself connects to WiFi.  So when this occurs, we simply minimize the AiO app with the Home key.  Then we reopen it.

16. Reconnect your Mobile Device to your WiFi Network to Continue with How to Connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi

So go back to your tablet’s Wi-Fi settings screen. Then find your original wireless network and connect to it.

Note that this may happen automatically once your DeskJet connects.  But if not, just do it manually.

17. Return to the AiO Remote App Home Screen

Do this by closing the Wi-Fi Settings screen in the previous step (hit the Home key). Then, again, bringing up the HP AiO Remote app, as you did in step 2 above.  If the AiO home screen does not appear, then press the Home icon in whatever AiO Remote screen is showing.  So this should take you there.
