Yes it does. But we don't actually know that these printers need to be reconnected to the wifi. All we know is that the computer isn't reaching them for some reason.

Here's what I know so far. The printer is on the device list of all of my computers. I have uninstalIed and reinstalled HP Smart app. I noticed that when I try to connect to the router and it asks for my routers password, the wi-fi disconnects every time. It only does this for my printer.
