Connect the printer to the router

I have a small home network using an ADSL router that has a wireless capability. It would be convenient to be able to connect a printer directly to the router so that any laptop on the network can use it. Is it possible to connect my printer (HP 5100 or HP Officejet 4300 all-in-one) directly on the router (Mega 100WR) without buying a print server any?

Hello Markpennels,

What I understand in your post, you are looking for a way to connect an Officejet 5100 series or 4300 series to your router without having to buy any type of print server. In this case, you can use only 2 options.

From some information that I can see from your router, I see that it has a USB port, if this can function as a print server, you can connect USB and try to config, please keep in mind that it would not work and that these connections are often not taken in charge if problem from occurring. If the printer models have an ethernet connection, then I suggest that connect you via ethernet cable.

If you have no printer, then I suggest that you contact your router manufacturer to see if the USB port works as a printserver.

Kind regards

  • How do I connect the router without home computer

    I bought my mother an Iphone and want it have WiFi instead of using 3 g data plan, but she doesn't have a computer at home at all. How to connect a router at home without a computer?

    Thank you!

    It doesn't work quite like that.  You don't just to go out and buy a router and instantly have wifi.  It you will need to sign up with an ISP first.

    Usually, it is best to first get your modem to the internet service provider and see what they give you.  The modem, they give you maybe already wifi and so you will not need to go out and buy a router.

    Hello

    You may not use the iPad to connect your printer to the router. You cannot access your router, then most likely you can not connect. The router comes from your neighbor's House? You must Access the printer or at least you have a computer that is connected to this router. If you want to print, direct wireless can help:

  • Need to connect MacPro to the router

    My Mac Pro is now connected to the internet via the airport card and the modem is down. But I need to connect a router on a mac so I can run my laserprinter through a network using a RJ45 cable. I can't run the cable in the area of the modem is located. Can I connect the router directly to Mac and use the card airport as the internet connection?

    Dbarunas,

    You left out some important details, but let me see if I can answer without them:

    Assuming that the ISP modem you mentioned is your current destination of wifi and Airport card is built-in wifi Mac Pro adapter.  I also guess your desktop not a laptop since you don't mention MacBookPro.

    1. If your router is wireless and assuming that the 'airport' is the the computer's built-in wifi card.

    (Wired connection) modem-> router (cable) * (wifi)-> laptop (wifi) (* printer cable) to connect to the router via wifi instead of the modem, then turning off the wifi on the once the router WiFi modem set up, if possible. (No need to nuke the family bits with too many signs wifi).

    2. If your router is not wireless.

    Modem-> laptop (wifi) * (wired)-> router (wired) (wired)-> printer (cable) (* make sure that the computer has not a gateway specified in the network settings for this connection assigned static address.)

    3. If your router is not wireless and no other host on the router. (without router required)

    Modem (wifi)-> laptop (wifi) (wired)-> * printer (cable) (static addresses the only, once again no gateway) (* this may require a crossover based on the capabilities of the printer Ethernet cable.)

    When you use a wired network on the laptop and wireless Internet access, make sure the "backend" network cable is on a completely different range of addresses and 'NO' gateway assigned or the laptop would not know how to get to the INET.

  • Cannot connect to the router efax. On HP Officejet 650010n, Windows XP desktop, routher: tp-link

    I tried to connect the router to home port to efax.  Having hard time understanding connection.  Don't know which network in the list I'm suppose to connect to match the router password.

    The network you should be interested will generally be the first listed item.  By following the previous steps, you can check this on your computer.

    As Super-Dave pointed out, however, this printer has a built-in for eFax support.

    To use eFax with this printer, you synchronize your eFax account with your email and print faxes that you receive as attachments to email like you would for any other file.

  • Router WRT54G3G-ST - no internet connection - cannot reset the router

    Hello.  Some longer story certainly not short (I apologize for the length of hiking...  I don't know what is and isn't important, will scan, please...  I'm sorry...) : recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Anti-virus and Firewall and a router Wireless-G Linksys WRT54G3G-ST with its AC adapter plugged into the wall power outlet and a network cable directly connected to my computer.) received a drive-by generic.DX!12536d125737 Trojan horse without me download whatever it is one of the few sites I visit every day.  My internet connection has crawled, and I have now no connection at all.

    I've been making McAfee good volunteers forums help quick and very helpful...  They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for me, I downloaded my own second computer (a laptop) on my flash drive, then on my infected computer.  I ran, tried adapting so recommended, and only then discovered the Trojan horse killed my broadband entirely.  I scanned with it anyway and he quickly found and deleted / quarantine 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else.  Then, they gave me a link to a patch off updater file and tells me scan in SafeMode until nothing else has been found and check if it has fixed my lack of broadband access.  I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.

    Then, they recommended WinsockXPFix.  Which I ran and he did all his OK registry changes, I restarted if necessary but still no broadband unfortunately.  WinsockXPFix using make things worse for me with the registry changes, did he?  I used the backup of the registry to save the registry before changed files before running.  Should I come back since I don't always have a broadband connection?  McAfee volunteers kindly then told me that I had to hard reset the router, but I tried many times with no fortune.  I'm at a loss as to what, if anything, do we hope to get my broadband, please...

    It is very confusing with many different variants for resetting routers, and what should I do to my router model (Variations: unplug this cable/adapter exactly where; pressed the reset button between 5 and 30 seconds, the computer restarts, or no, 1 or 2 minutes between different steps, waiting or not - and for all these exactly when in the restart procedure.).

    I have reset once before with the reset button, page of routers to http://192.168.1.1default admin password, then it changed to security, etc. but this time I can't make it work.  I'm happy as possible to try once again to get an appointment by perhaps, something please...  When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or to any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I am offline, which is annoyingly correct.  I do not have and never had Zone Alarm, but disable my McAfee Firewall does not help.  IPCONFIG at the command prompt gives me an address of 169.254.X.X assigned Windows

    I was going to use the routers Wizard installation CD to try to reset the router, and if that didn't try to get its firmware version number to perhaps upgrade.  But I was going to ask here first of all for expert advice because I read a lot of things that can go wrong during the upgrade of the firmware.  However, analysis the CD (without launching the CD). McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP. Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD.  McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
    I scanned my computer together several times and no infections have been reported.  I downloaded the file several times, both www.virustotal.com (39 online antivirus) and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time each virus scanner didn't report any possible infection.  My updated virus scanner McAfee reported a false positive and still Jotti and VirusTotal 2 scanners from McAfee report the file as own probable?  Is "_desktop.ini" a file legitimate Linksys?  I have not found any information on Linksys forums about this.  My problems just keep multiplying... mentioning problems more...

    Find this suspicious file on the CD I decided to download instead the Linksys Setup Wizard
    (Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download )
    File: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
    my flash drive, then on my infected computer that is connected to the router.  I ran it (downloaded the version of the file: 4.2.0.007 - original version CD Setup Wizard: 4.0 print on CD front) and immediately gave it 1 of the 3 options: Mobile broad band only, high flow only WAN, or WAN high throughput and high speed Mobile.  I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
    It seemed that he was trying to go in the entire router configuration process.  I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I read in the user's Guide, and besides - it is my understanding.  The installation process stopped at only 30% done "router not found, make sure that the router is connected correctly and try again."  How many Overwrite original router configuration files I did continue?  I'm quite confused.  The wizard does not check if the router has previously been set up before setting up again?  Unlike version caused my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard?  Is the horse of Troy generic.DX!12536d125737 who killed my trash to wide band my computer settings so badly that my router is undetectable/essentially not configured?

    Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable.  The fact that I had still no broadband on my Dell XPS main use computer that is connected to the Linksys router.  However, my laptop, with map data in the router, was for the first time able to find network - constant connection and speed is great, it's what she allways has been on the laptop (the Trojan/router problems, my laptop only for broadband with the data in the laptop card.).  Perhaps the cable network was simply not re-connected properly/entirely for 1 of the many attempts of resetting, indeed, it could also explain the downloading, installation wizard is not able to find the router/only get 30% done.

    Laptop prompt IPCONFIG/all with data card Sprint inserted into the slot of your laptop:
    IP = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.255
    68.28.90.91 = DNS servers
    68.28.82.91

    Laptop prompt IPCONFIG/all with Sprint data card inserted in the router:
    192.168.1.1XX = IP address
    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway = 192.168.1.1
    = 192.168.1.1 DHCP server
    Servers DNS = 192.168.1.1

    Since my laptop started to work with the data card into the router, I have not tried again to reset the router and I tried the downloaded installation wizard.  I don't want to spoil anything about it any further as I have (?) / the Trojan has, and I need expert advice, please, about which of the 2 if not more, I do (first?).  On my laptop, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer Gets the ToolTip for the user name and password, but I did not.  I read that you should not reset the router or (?) Is it just 1 or two please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is connected directly to the router - that is not my laptop.  On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still says I am offline when you type http://192.168.1.1 in.  My IP address on it is still a 169.254.X.X assigned Windows and a command PING 192.168.1.1 prompt returns with 'Destination host unreachable.', as it has been always and even with all the other addresses (with the exception of 169.254.X.X).

    Boring 2nd "update" of all kinds, my apologies for the length, as always: I've been so focused on the horse of Trojan/broadband killing that cluelessly largely forgot I switched with AOL.  Try AOL dial-up does not work, madness thickens...  Software AOL tells me to check my connection, but all the phone cords are connected as should be.  I plugged a phone directly into the wall jack and I get the tone, I can call OK and the phone rings and receives calls OK.  State of the devices-Modems-Properties-Device Manager says that the modem is not working properly, and "resources" tab shows no conflicts.  Query Modem on the diagnosis tab seems OK to me, as does the journal, but I'm certainly not an expert like allways.  I change all the settings from anywhere.
    I noticed and that check IPCONFIG it says that my IP address is 192.168.1.100 it lasts maybe that someday (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe more, I don't know - I don't check that often to define (should I?).  Meanwhile my broadband, or my works switched.  I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else.  I am convinced the wrong killed Trojan horse my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my prior V.9x DFVc Modem 56 K Conexant D850.  In addition, I am not convinced the Trojan horse is not still lurk everywhere on my computer, I think that it's...

    Any help with the restoration of my high speed/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please...  Thank you!

    Hello.  There has been entirely too long since I answered, I'm sorry.  There is no excuse, and it is terribly rude to me...  You took the time to read and answer me, and I appreciate very much that in effect.  I apologize for being late, I'm sorry...

    After that I left my message, I downloaded several virus/spyware scanners, etc from my laptop on my USB key, then my other computer for some in-depth analysis necessary.  Was one I downloaded Network Magic that somehow, some way fixed both my high speed/dial-up internet on my main computer is connected to the router WRT54G3G-ST.  I don't know what/how he fixed my connection, but the connection high speed flow works brilliantly since...  Network Magic has worked for me, and I highly recommend it to all those who have stubborn lack of internet problems (caused by Trojans to this) that I did.  There is no guarantee this will work, but it did for me in my amazement.

    Network Magic, as is the Linksys is owned by the parent company Cisco.  Respectfully to all the knowledgeable experts here (which clearly I'm not), I don't want to venture out of the limits.  I'm trying to simply hope to be useful and save a few headaches for both you volunteers and users... buy a new router or the computer was in my mind, with all due respect, I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic users if the reset of the router/all other fails, please.  I used WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility before using Network Magic, I don't know if it matters.

    I also upgraded my package of McAfee, I installed on my old software rather than uninstall the first, which caused errors in all things virus scanner a critical need.  I install right now, but it caused some delay to refocus my time.  Some virus scans found many Trojan horses, some were same / in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to ensure a clean uninfected.

    Certainly, it doesn't fully explain the long time, and I'm sorry, once again.  It's just that I'm being cautious and slow in all this.  To answer the first very good idea, you did: Unfortunately, there is no room on my other computer to connect the router in to, which even so caused frustration (at the time).  I forgot to include this in my post new length of countless things to see / do not forget...  It was a brilliant idea, however, I thank you...

    Thank you for your time and your help, I appreciate it sincerely...  Thank you...  I think and hope that this matter is resolved.  It seems to be, the router works perfectly as it always has, and I am positively happy as can be in this regard.  Thank you...  Peace...

    New connection PC Help!

  • When you set the IP address of the router, WRT160N Inaccessible

    Hello

    I bought a WRT160N router yesterday and eagerly tried to connect my laptop to the internet (ADSL) modem using this router. As my ADSL modem is a router DHCP too, and I want to keep it like that, I have it plugged in ethernet cable form one of my ADSL modem/router, LAN ports in one of the LAN ports on the modem, Linksys have the Linksys operating as a bridge. However when I tried to specify an address of router static IP (192.168.1.254) in the basic parameters of configuration Linksys Panel, disabled the DHCP setting and saved, I could not connect to the router more using this new IP address - my browser tells me that the Web page doesn't seem to exist, but it cannot establish a connection with her. Then I have to reset the router in order to access configuration panels using the default address 192.168.1.1. Is there a reason why I cannot access the control panels of the router with the new IP address of the router that I've specified?

    Thanks for any help,

    Hello

    the problem is resolved, be it in a different way. I tried your trick to wait 30 seconds after the registration and the recycling of the modem, but this had no effect. What helped does not change the settings for address IP Routerl and the setting from the DHCP server on the router for the disabled at the same time. If I only changed the setting to the IP address of the router and recorded, the modem has been reset automatically and starts with the new correct router address. After that I changed the setting of DHCP server to the WRTN160 to off and then I was able to get the router working, like I wanted.

    I assume that when you connect the router to a computer reset (after taking out the IP address of the computer) with DHCP from the active router, the router assigns an IP address to the computer that somehow interferes with the local IP address parameter, if you define that at the same time.

    In any case, all work now, and I have excellent signal everywhere in the House. I guess that congratulations go to me :-) but still thanks to eliminate one possible cause of the problem

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I put t think it is a hardware problem and therefore, you should check your access point and the configuration of the WLan card.
    Did you use a WLan encryption, Mac address filtering?
    If so, disable encryption on the WLan router and try to connect to the network without additional security settings.

    If it will work and you can successfully connect to the WLan and then the problem was caused by incorrect security settings.

    Please check!

  • HP Envy 4500: Printer connected to the router, but will not print wireless Macbook

    I want my wireless printer to work on my macbook, but I can't. I tried setting up on the HP utility to connect with the router as the mac and printer on but it does not work! It indicates that the download was successful, but the device was not reachable. I don't really know where to go from here and any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey @miriamnimmo,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP, I would be happy to help you! I understand that you have the printer set up on your network, but the software says that the device is not accessible. Sometimes the IPv6 may interfere with the connection, and I suggest we disable that before anything else. On the fornt of the printer Panel, scroll down to and then select Wireless. In the wireless Menu, select Advanced settings, then IPv6 and.

    Now we are going to let the router and unplug the power cable (NOTE: do not reset the router), then do the same with the printer and shut down the computer. After a minute, plug in the router, wait to fully turn on, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light become solid. Once the router and the printer are on, go ahead and re - turn on the computer. This will refresh the network connection.

    Please let me know if this solves the problem by marking your post as solved (click on Accept as Solution button below). If the problem persists, let me know, I'll watch for your reply.

  • Photosmart Wireless B109n-z: Impossible to connect the printer wireless to the new router

    I just changed my wireless router and can not get my printer to recognize the new router.

    When you try to reinstall with the disc that came with the printer it keeps "quit unexpectedly" at the end of the installation, but before I get to connect to the printer.

    The drive indicates that it is for use with Mac OS X v10.4; 10.5, but I can't find an option to update the web site HP despite it stating that my printer is still supported.

    I can still use the printer with a USB cable connected directly to my table, but this is no help for the other devices I have.

    Hi @Paulwrow,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
     
    I understand that you are unable to connect your HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z to your new router wirelessly. I'd be happy to see this with you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.
     
    The CD/DVD software will not work with newer versions of Mac OS X. HP doesn't have the drivers for this printer in Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The last driver out of this printer is for Mac OS X 10.6. The only driver available that uses the driver update from Apple. This causes a problem when reconfigure the wireless, as this is the software for help. It would be easier if you have another computer running an operating system that is supported so that you can install the full feature software to configure the wireless.

    As an alternative method, you can try doing as a guideline to connect the wireless printer. We will use the ad-hoc connection. With the ad-hoc connection, you can launch the built-in web server (EWS) to access the wireless configuration wizard.
     
    Use the following steps as a guide:
    Restore the default settings of the network:

    1. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    2. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    3. Press the button next to network by default.

    Once the network is reset, the printer should disseminate the ad hoc connection. It should look like "hpsetup" or "HP Setup (and part of the printer name or MAC address). With an IP address like 169.82.12.44.
     
    Then, connect to the network printer, that is broadcasting.

    1. On the Mac in the upper right corner, click on the wireless icon and connect to the network "HP Setup" or "hpsetup".

    Print the wireless test report:

    1. Press the button next to Scan.
    2. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    3. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    4. Press the button next to run the wireless network Test.

    Browse the test report wireless IPV4 of the printer (IP address) 169.82.12.44.

    1. Launch your internet browser and enter the IP as shown. This should load the printer EWS.
    2. Click on the tab network across the top.
    3. On the left side, click on wireless or network.
    4. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    This is the only way to reconfigure the wireless, unless you have another computer that has supported the software.

    For more information on the ad-hoc connection, see the User Guide.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!
