Review on πŸ–¨οΈ HP DeskJet 3630 Wireless All-in-One Printer with Alexa Compatibility (F5S57A) by Michael Floyd

Revainrating 1 out of 5

WORKS ONLY WITH WIFI TECHNOLOGY 2.4 GHz!

It is very important to note that this printer WILL NOT WORK WITH 5GHz WIFI. This is not mentioned in the Revain listing, nor on the printer box itself. The only way to find out is during printer setup when the driver software tries to connect the printer to your wireless network and gives you this error message. Basically, you have two options to try when using 5GHz WiFi like most current technologies are: 1. Switch to a 2.4GHz WiFi router. That means you spend more money on DOWNGRADE when you buy your own router. Or, getting your wireless router through your ISP means you have to spend time and possibly money to contact them and ask them to provide you with a 2.4GHz wireless router. I hope you have a dual band router that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If you find yourself in this situation, you need to figure out how to switch your router to the 2.4 GHz band. Getting your router from your ISP means you're going to be spending a lot of time calling it, especially if they have no idea what you're talking about on the customer service page so they can help you through the process. . Although you can switch your router to 2.4GHz, it means that the device you are printing from must also be connected to the 2.4GHz spectrum if you want to print. That means you get half the speed of your wireless network. You can now manually switch your printer to the 2.4GHz spectrum and then switch back to 5GHz every time you want to print, but continuing to do so is just plain ridiculous, especially if you type a lot. If none of these options work for you, there might be a fancy technical trick that offers a workaround, but chances are you've just spent a lot of money on a printer that lets you print with just a USB cable attached, like it was still the 1900s. This is very deceptive to HP and the seller, if the seller even knows about it. not controlled by the seller. The seller was very quick to respond to my return request and provided a prepaid return label. I will send the item back in a few days. If for some reason my refund doesn't go through or the prepaid label doesn't work I will post again but if you don't get a reply from me everything went smoothly and this seller can be considered a trusted seller with excellent customer service. .
