They are the same basic printer, but you can tell the difference by the letters at the end:
d stands for duplex printing, so it can print 2 sided
n stands for network printing, so it can be networked via ethernet
w stands for wireless, so it can be networks via wifi (these printers usually also have an ethernet port for hardwired networking, but not always, you'd have to read the description
f stands for fax on multifunction printers (not applicable here)

This applies to all HP printers.

The m402dw is wireless. It contains a wireless card so you can hook just about anything to it via the wireless card.....tablets, phones, laptops, desktops etc. I'm not aware of any other differences so I would do a comparison either on Google or Best Buy! Hope this helps.
If you need to print easily and have a router, I highly recommend the m402dw.

Yes, the dw prints on both sides without turning the papers yourself. A great thing to have.

I believe the dw means duplexing and wifi.
