“This printer is not wireless. How does it work then? Does it need to plug into the router, if so, does it come with a cord for the router?”

• It does need to connect to your network via an ethernet cable (with RJ-45 connectors). The only cable included in the box is the power cord - you'll have to provide your own USB or network cables.

• The printer can connect via a standard USB printer cable which is included. It also has an RJ45 connector to connect to a router. You would need to purchase a cat 5 cable separately. Here is an example of one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-cat-5e-network-cable-gray/6232004.p?skuId=6232004

• Just for everyone's reference, take note of the model number at the end, it tells you what features are included:| 404dn = Duplex + Network D = Duplex N = Network W = Wireless You should have gotten the 404dw ;)

• It has Bluetooth, which is a wireless frequency, though short-range. Below is a link to an HP document titled "Bluetooth guide for HP printers", and it begins with this statement: "Some HP printers have a built-in Bluetooth radio that supports pairing with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet to enable wireless printing." https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2026021-1796387-16
