    Computer: Dell Inspiron 1720

    OS: Windows Vista

    Printer: HP PhotoSmart 6520

    Wireless Router: AT&T NetGear 7550

    I have installed the printer using the CD that came with it. I can get the printer to connect wirelessly by entering the Network Key (WPA) on the printer's touch screen, but it will not stay connected. If I turn off the computer or it goes to sleep, I have to re-enter the key at the printer again. I'm guessing I missed something during the install. Can somebody please help me. Thanks. Jeff

    Here's a link for the manuals in PDF format. The User Manual has a section on wireless connectivity. You may have to go to "Wireless Direct" settings.
