To connect your HP Laser 107w WiFi printer to your Rain 101 modem (without a WPS button), follow these steps:

Option 1: Using the HP Smart App
1. Download the HP Smart App:
- If you don’t have it, download it from the app store on your device (available for iOS and Android) or from the HP website.

2. Prepare the Printer:
- Turn on your HP Laser 107w printer and make sure it’s close to your modem/router.

3. Connect to the Printer’s Wi-Fi:
- Open the HP Smart app on your device.
- Follow the setup prompts. The app will ask you to connect to the printer's Wi-Fi Direct network (look for a network something like "HP-Setup-107w" in your device's Wi-Fi settings).

4. Connect the Printer to Your Wi-Fi:
- Once connected to the printer, the app will guide you to select your Rain 101 Wi-Fi network.
- Enter your Wi-Fi password, and the printer will connect to your network.

5. Finish Setup:
- Follow the remaining steps in the app to complete the setup.

Option 2: Using the Printer’s Control Panel
1. Reset Network Settings:
- If the printer was connected to a different network before, reset it by holding the Wireless button (blue light) and the Cancel button for about 5 seconds.

2. Connect to the Printer’s Wi-Fi Direct:
- On your computer or smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network ("HP-Setup-107w").

3. Access the Printer’s Web Server:
- Open a web browser and type in this IP address: `192.168.223.1`.

4. Connect to Your Wi-Fi Network:
- In the web interface, go to the Network or Wireless settings.
- Choose your Rain 101 Wi-Fi network and enter the password. Apply the settings to connect the printer.

5. Reconnect Your Device:
- Reconnect your device to your Wi-Fi network. Your printer should now be available for wireless printing.
