How can I connect my HP Laserjet Pro MFP M29w printer to my new Xfinity XB7 Wi-Fi network
The printer does not have a touchscreen. I tried pairing via XFINITY 10.0.0.1 interface on my browser. I tried pressing the WP button on the XB7 and the Wi-Fi LED on the printer.

Since posting this, I got the printer working on my wifi. Either one or both of the following did the trick:
- I didn't realize the xFinity Gateway has WP support. The button is hard to discern (it's the same color as the rest of the Gateway - white - and it's a "depression" button, not a protruding button to push as I have seen on every other Router I have ever owned. So I pushed the Depression WP button and went to my printer and activated WP on it within a few seconds.
- The other thing I did was access the Gateway on my browser (10.0.0.1) and moved to Connected Devices, then selected the ADD WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP (WPS) CLIENT under the list of Offline Devices. The Add Wi-Fi Client page comes up. This page is also accessible via Gateway > Connection > Wi-Fi. There I made sure Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is enabled (and WPS Pin Method disabled), selected Push Button under Connection Options and then clicked on PAIR.

I don't have that particular printer, but the standard suggestion is to disable WPA3, and make sure only WPA2 is enabled on the wifi. I'm afraid I couldn't tell you step by step how to do that on the XB7, but someone more knowledgeable than me might.
