Shows how to connect the HP DeskJet 3632 printer to your WiFi network. Note that doing this will clear any WiFi settings on the printer 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 printer 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
1. First, Reset Printer’s Wireless Settings back to Factory Default Values
Hard reset the printer by following the instructions in our How to Reset HP Printer, 3630 Series DeskJet article.
2. Find the HP All-In-One (AiO Remote) Printer Support App
We’re running an iOS-based tablet here.
3. Run the AiO Remote App by Tapping It
The app then comes up.
In our case, we had this printer 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 Printer 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 printer through the current WiFi network. So tapping this entry lets you select a different printer.
5. Tap the Select a Different Printer Option
Find this highlighted in the last picture. You then get the My Printer screen, as shown next.
6. Tap the Add Printer Link
Top right corner of screen. This brings up the Add Printer window, as pictured next.
7. Tap the Set up and Add a New Printer Option
This brings up the Agreements screen, as displayed next.
8. Read the Agreements Screen to Continue with How to Connect HP DeskJet 3632 to WiFi
Check the I have reviewed and accept the agreements and settings check box. Then move on to the next step.
If you do not though, then close the app, without setting up the printer.
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
Find the Wi-Fi Settings as we see next. On the iPad, we pressed the Home button, ran the Settings app, and then tapped Wi-Fi settings.
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 printer 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 Printer To
In our case, we’re connecting this printer 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.
15. Watch the Wireless Status Lamp
Then on the printer, that light stops flashing and glows steadily once it successfully connects.
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 printer 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 printer 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.
18. Check that you can Now See the 3632 Printer in the AiO Remote App
So note the green status light beside the 3632 printer. It means that the printer is indeed online now.
