• RE6500 installation problems - cannot find wireless network and wifi protected setup custom exceed 99%

  HII there, I bought a RE6500 rande Extender and wireless network has not automatically shown as the instructions, he will say.

  Ive tried following th online PDF instructions under "Basic settings" and have connected it, so when I go on 'Wireless' under "Connection with the Wi - Fi Protected Setup Button" and press the button on the Extender and the establishment, it does not exceed 99%.

  can anyone help!

  Thank you! I was just trying to find the network on the PC I used to put in place. It was not showing on my PC, but I tried my iphone and it is available here. Then, I followed the installation instructions and did the whole upward on my iphone (not on the PC as I originally did) and it worked. No problems!  Thank you!

• What different manual wifi vs wifi-protected setup

  I manually configure my wifi router.  When I turn on the MAC filtering, if gives me a warning that I can not use the Installer "wifi-protected.

  (1) how different manual wifi vs wifi-protected setup?

  (2) why is it using a manual configuration with the installation of wifi protected lockout (green list) MAC filtering?

  Thank you

  Ed S.

  Hi edspyhill09. Yes, it will disable Wifi protected setup because you try to filter the Mac addresses of the devices you want to connect to your network. Only the mac addresses that are listed can connect to your network so it defeats the purpose of having the WiFi enable protected configuration. WiFi protected setup allows users to connect multiple devices to the network and activate encryption of the data by pressing a button which is most of the time on the front panel, or some of it is in the rear panel of the WPS. But WPS does not apply to all devices because some gadgets are not able, only devices that are capable of WPS can take advantage of the WPS feature. Manual WiFi is the classic method to connect to your wifi network. You find the ssid network name and connect to him, if he will ask for a password, then just type the password and voila! You are now connected to your wifi network. I hope this helps you!

• Web interface of WRT120N show WiFi Protected Setup message repeatedly

  We have a WRT120N already configured and used for 2-3 years, which recently began displaying a message asking me to press the Wi - Fi Protected Setup button on the device. While in this State, work DHCP and wireless connection settings remain the same. It seems that the internet connection works if the router was not in that State when turned on, but not if the router was in this state when it is started.

  A few weeks ago, he did something where the wireless connection on my laptop would display Wi - Fi Protected Setup instead of WPA2 Personal as security, and then the connection would drop after a short period. Turning on the device, and then turn that would set, but does not necessarily solve the current problem. It happened a few times, but not more recently.

  The device is out of range, then the WiFi Protected Setup button has not been pushed back. Before this problem came up, I had downloaded a firmware update, but not him have not applied because the router is difficult to access, and now I'm worried that the device could be unusable if I try to do the update.

  I'm guessing that maybe it's a physical failure due to the humid climate here. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

  Hard reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.  Once completed and verified working updated the firmware, hard reset and reconfigure back once again.

• Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

  I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

  Two computers on a network
  Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
  XP machine is via wireless network

  Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
  Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

  When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

  I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

  The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

  So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

  If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

  So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

  Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

• C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

  Hello

  I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

  Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

  Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

  Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

  However...

  It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

  I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

  -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

  -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

  -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

  -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

  -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

  -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

  -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

  -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

  -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

  My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

  Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

  It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

  Thanks in advance. ANIA

  Hello @AZS1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

  To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

  I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.

• Windows 7 network printing problems

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista Home premium, the two versions are 32-bit. If you are using Vista and I tried to connect to the printer on my home network using a wireless network to a runing XP Home Office, I receive an error message that says: access denied. I get this same message using Windows 7. He sees the printer on the network but will not connect. If I connect the printer directly to the laptop, it works fine.

  Your "Access denied" error indicates that you do not have file/printer sharing set up properly.

  Configure file sharing / print:

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers.

  How install a printer connected locally to a different computer if the driver installation routine does not help:
  
  Go to the computer to which the printer is connected. Note the name of the computer that you will get to the control panel > system > computer name. Now in the Panel, go to the printers. Find the printer in question, right-click, and then click Properties. Note the name of the share. Of course you must have already set up file sharing / print on all computers involved and share the printer.

  Now, go to the remote computer to which you want to add the printer. Control Panel > printers > add printer

  Click Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list box is Local Port. Don't change that. Click Next. A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type in the \\FullComputername\SharedPrintername

  ex: \\mycomputer\HPDJ (that's why you wrote the names of computer and printer in the first step)

  Click Next. In the manufacturers list, select the correct printer manufacturer and the correct printer model in the Printers list. Under "do you want to use this printer as default printer select"Yes"(if you do!). and click Next. When asked to print a test page, select 'Yes', then finish.

• 1163w network printer problem

  So, my first post, Hello!

  I have a 1163w printer that works fine - except that it times out and decreases the network.  I have to physically restart the printer to run loose employment, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a wireless printer.  I went to the Manager printer and disabled the system timeout setting, but that did not help.

  Anyone else has this problem and knows a fix?

  Thanks in advance.

  If you are able to print successfully via Google Cloud Print, but could not otherwise print on the network, you must call Dell's Technical Support and ask for a replacement under warranty. There are lots of printers who had faulty firmware that has stopped listening on port 80 (web interface) and 9100 (RAW TCP/IP printing).

  Reference Dell seems to have solved the problem of firmware with B1163W of their replacement printers.

  Hi Gordon,.

  1. Applications that use to print?
  2. What is the brand and model of the printer?

  It could be a problem with the drivers.

  Method 1:

  Printers need software driver to work properly.

  Make sure that the printer drivers are correct.

• Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

  I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

  I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

  I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

  All thoughts welcome.

  Hi @UKCheshire

  Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

  If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.

• Ethernet and Wifi keep 'identification' network, dualboot Ubuntu works great

  So I have trouble with my internet connection.

  I noticed the things so far:

  -Windows will allow me to connect to the network, but he continues to identify and therefore no connectivity.

  -A dualboot Ubuntu has no problem, I really write this for Ubuntu.

  So I wanted to go to a previous restore point to see if it would help.

  -However, I can not open the 'system protection' tab in the 'system' application (that needs administrator rights). (The service has failed to demand launch or timely control)

  -J' found that I can't run anything that has no need for administrator rights. When I try to run it, the app of interest freezes.

  Also, one last thing, could be bound or completely independent:

  -PC will not turned off properly, it keeps saying: 'close '. (tried up to 20 minutes) So I had to reset the PC hard.

  Help would be greatly appreciated!

• Installation of Konica Minolta C450 as network printer problem

  I am just in the process of establishing a new office with small wireless network and printer. The printer is a Konica Minolta bizhub C450, which is connected to the netgear hub. I downloaded the driver for Konica Minolta bizhub C450 and installed and my laptop which is fully functional on the network shows the default printer. I have allowed sharing the printer and rebooted everything and renamed my computer. I can't print anything even a test page - can someone help please?

  Thank you

  I agree with you that the C450 is difficult to implement... at least doesn't manuals make it easy.

  You should not take the IP address configured on your computer different from the IP address set in the printer, but because you're in an office, get the person of office network to help is a good idea.
