HP Envy 5643 Cannot find wireless networks

Hi, 
I purchased this printer a day ago and it connected successfully with my wifi network through the setup wizard. I'm not sure what has happened but it somehow lost the connection and is unable to find wifi networks. When using the setup wizard it searches and doesnt find anything (before it found my network as well as sorrounding networks). 
I tried connecting it through a USB and configuring it that way but even then I get an error saying its unable to connect. 
I'm using a Mac if that helps. 

Hello @Pleaseworkty , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into connectivity issues.  I'd like to help!
What version of Mac are you using?
- Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
I'd recommend performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd also suggest the following document;

  • Sometimes cannot find wireless networks??

    i've looked around on a couple messege boards, but they didn't seem to be exactly the same problem i was having.
    essentially, after waking up from sleep or hibernate, i sometimes cannot find wireless networks.  the wireless switch will be on, Fn + F5 says my wireless is on, yet nothing can be found.  strangely, when i try to turn off wireless, whether it's through Fn +F5, or the hardware switch, the light below the monitor remains ON.  basically, i can't even turn it off.  when i do click the button to try and turn off wireless, it gives me the busy cursor and eventually the whole menu disappears.
    the way to fix this is by restarting.
    just today, however, i suffered this same problem, even though i wasn't coming back from sleep or hibernate - it just lost connection randomly and then couldn't find any networks.  attempts to turn off wireless failed.
    is there a solution?  is this actually the same problem that was remedied by changing a power setting?
    thanks in advance.

    Yeah I'm having this problem too, with my antique T41 running XP. It used to be rock solid it seemed to change when I installed XP SP3.
    I have tried reinstalling the Intel drivers but that hasn't helped. It seems when it restarts after hibernate (and occasionally at other times, as with the previous poster) it somehow doesn't lock on to the signal or it gets confused in the protocol or something. It doesn't always happen though - about one in three.  Rebooting cures it...until the next time.... 
     any assistance / ideas most welcome, thanks.
    PS I'm using Windows Zero Configuration not Access Connections. That was a change some years ago that made it work better so I'm inclined to stick with that unless someone can tell me why not....

  • Cannot find wireless network adapter - Satellite A100-467

    Hi,
    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-467 running Windows 7 on it.
    Yesterday I put my notebook to hibernation and when it woke up wireless network was not working.
    I checked Device Manager and there is no wireless network adapter available, seems it is not enumerated by the system.
    I have tried to download and reinstall drivers for Wireless network but without success.
    Any suggestion?

    I launched windows Backup and Recovery tool to see whether some software change had not disabled wifi adapter, that is what I meant.
    There is no Ethernet Controller in Device Manager, nothing pointing to Wireless adapter.
    I have tried to remove battery already before but it did not help. Tried again today with the same result.
    Today my Wifi was suddenly working for a while, that made me think it would be probably a hardware issue, maybe something moved inside. I just wanted to rule out software issues before I send it to repair.
    Now it is where it was before, not even displaying in Device Manager.

  • Photosmart plus B209 cannot find Wireless (wifi) Network

    Hello
    I had an upgrade to my wifi network (faster speed package) which made the computers happy but stuffed my printer.  It cannot be seen on the network and it cannot find a network.  It works OK when connected with USB.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2, no updates outstanding.
    Tried delete and reinstall on the mac
    Tried reboots
    I downloaded and ran the HewlettPackardPrint2.12.dmg file to ensure I had the right drivers
    Using a CISCO DPC2935 router
    Read every help post I could find but to no avail
    Tried the WPS setup but the printer timed out (and I had clicked the WPS button on the router yes)
    Tried running the original wifi setup software provided but it showed the printer trying to use my old wifi network and could not see any network for me to change that - guessing that bit of software no longer works with Mac 10.8.  My computer i was running that from was happily connected to the wifi network in question
    All help appreciated.  

    See if this helps.
    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • Windows Can't Find Wireless Network upon Restart

    Hello,
    I am running Windows XP and have a wireless network set up via a Linksys BEFW11S4. Everytime I restart my computer, the windows wireless client cannot find my network.
    I've found that the work around is to unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in-which usually then allows my laptop to find the network. (I've also used the EasyLink software which arrives at thsi same result).
    My question is what do I need to change in order to not have to continually be unplugging and replugging back in my routher.
    Thanks!

    Try few settings on the router ....
    Change the channel on the from 6 to 11 ....
    Under advance wireless settings ....
    Beacon Interval - 75....
    DTIM - 2....
    RTS & Fragmentation Threshold - 2306 ....
    Change the network name SSID ....Also change the wireless security key ....
    See if is shows connected after reboot ....

  • DeskJet F4583 cannot see wireless network

    Hi,
    I am trying to put my F4583 on the network but it cannot see the router.
    I ask the utility to scan and it comes back and sees nothing (there are four or five in my neighbourhood).
    I type in the exact SSID name and it still cannot find the network.  The blue wireless light just sits a blinks slowly.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried unplugging the power cable on the printer and plugging it back and they trying to search for the network?

  • Takes a long time to find wireless network

    So for the past few months my (Santa Rosa) MBP will take an extremely long time to find a wireless network. This happens both at home and other places where I have connected in the past and am wanting to use a remembered network. It can take as long as two and a half minutes to connect. If I click on the airport icon in the menu bar, then it says it's scanning for networks during this time.
    Usually if I create a new location then the problem will go away but then seems to come back. The problem also persists if I use a different user.
    I've repaired permissions, done a disk repair and even used Diskwarrior. I miss instantly finding wireless networks. It's a small inconvenience, granted but was hoping to get this fixed once and for all.
    Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Thanks all.

    My computer also has been taking a long time to find a wireless network, up to several minutes. I often have to have it "scan" for networks several times before it finally picks it up. Is there a solution? This has been going on for many months. Other computers (PCs, iPhone) pick up the signals within a few seconds, but my Powerbook takes several minutes, even over 5 minutes sometimes.
    See how many networks are listed in Sys Prefs: Network: Advance. Drag the preferred to the top. Delete any you don't really need.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Playbook cannot find WIFI networks

    Hi, I have a new Playbook 16gb wifi and the wifi isn't working. Essentially what happened was after I completed the initial setup it prompted me to install an OS update after which the WIFI stopped working. I cannot connect to any network no matter the type a/b/g/n, the frequency, the channel or the mode. I have tried on two Netgear routers, 1 DLink and 1 iPhone (used as a hot spot). I have tried PBS using the actual button and the PIN but neither works. It just cannot find any networks. 
    I tried resetting to factory defaults but that has made the situation worse because I am now stuck at the setup screen with no networks to complete setup. I can't connect to the desktop software either because the installation hasn't completed.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    David

    Hello
    Were you able to fix the wifi issue ?
    I have successfully reloaded QNX OS on the Playbook using Desktop manager.
    Version 1.0.7.2942 was loaded.
    I still have the same problem, it is impossible to connect to the wifi network.
    I have tried wpa2, wpa and wep , nothing works. I have tried at over 10 different routers.  I tried with routers where other playbook wifi works well, but this one playbook won't connect, I always get the same error while trying to pair to the network, it doesn't event get to the acquiring IP address phase.
    Thanks

  • JournE Air 801 Not Finding Wireless Networks

    My Air 801 was able to see my wireless networks when I first switched it on. I was having difficulty in getting WPA2 security to work so I reset the 801 to factory defaults using the reset hardware button on the device.
    Now I am unable to find any wireless networks.
    Any ideas how I can get my 801 to find wireless networks again?
    Thanks for your help/advice.

    Hi
    Are you sure the Wifi is enabled in the settings of Air 801?
    Usually the WLan icon should be visible in the left upper corner if the WLan has been enabled.
    I downloaded the user manual for Air 801 (Toshiba European page -> Support and download -> user manual). On the page 42 you can find all the details about networking.
    You can use the Wifi protected setup. This is the easiest way to connect to the network.
    - Select Wifi protected setup and press OK
    - press the wps button on your wlan router and then press ok to continue
    - press exit to return to the previous page.
    Then use the Wifi wizard to detect and to connect to WLan router in your area.
    - select wifi wizard
    - press up and down to select your preferred router
    - press OK to confirm your selection
    - enter the password for e secured router
    You can also use the advanced configuration
    For this check the user manual!

  • HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

    Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday.   Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.   
    we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on.   Turned wireless off and back on.
    but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
    What do do next?

    Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
    Click Delete on your keyboard
    It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

    All the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
    It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

  • AC 6.01 Message: Find wireless Network is disabled. Contact your network administrator

    hi, i cant manage wireless networks with AC 6.01.  Profile "Create" is greyed out and I am not able to create new profiles, can't find new wireless network etc. Few weeks ago, everything was working fine. When I try  Fn+F5 and click "Find Wireless Netowork" I got message "Find wireless Network is disabled. Contact your network administrator". I am administrator on computer.
    What i found interesting is that if i stop the service "AcPrfMgrSvc" from services.msc, i can find networks but then i cant use AC profiles i.e. cant create profiles and cant connect to any saved profile. This problem gave me real headache. This might be a problem due to any windows update.
    I m using Windows 7 on Thinkpad E520. Please helppppp....

    I don't think this is a Windows update problem.  I encountered this same problem
    immediately after I allowed Lenovo to update my laptop a month or so ago.  (I have
    always refused to allow Lenovo to update my system since I didn't trust them -
    apparently with good reason - but I finally said OK.  (My Windows 7 OS has not been
    updated since Nov. 2012.)  Lenovo has been no help in fixing the problem they
    created (which has put Lenovo at the bottom of my list for future systems - see below.)
    I have not tried disabling "AcPrfMgrSvc", I am only commenting on not being able
    to Find Wireless Networks.  I have read posts/comments in various places saying
    to revert to a previous "version" of something (I don't remember what - AC?), but
    have found nothing that explicitly states how to do that - as if it should be obvious.
    Not helpful either.  Documenting that would be the least Lenovo itself could do.  (I
    did try reverting to a full system backup I had made the day before, but I found I could
    not do that without having a system disk that Lenovo said would cost $50 - which also
    means NONE of the backups I have done over the last year and a half have any
    value?)
    So I have pretty much stopped using my two recent Lenovo systems and gone back
    to my 9-year old Linux system.
