• Connect a wireless printer anywhere, wired derivation convert, does not have radio, add WPA2 security.

  Update- good because when the wireless radio failed to convert a wired Ethernet printer to wireless technology, or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

  Updated - connect to a hotel/motel/school dormitory may not work if the network uses Enterprise authentication requesting a user name and password on your computer.

  This article will try to explain how to connect your wireless devices, including printers, to a wireless network when you are away from home.  The problem when you're in a hotel, motel, room student or other areas is your computer connects fine, but your wireless printer, you have brought with you, has connection/security problems.  Other people/wireless devices can find the printer on an open network, connect you to the printer and start printing without reason just because 'they can do. "

  You'll need is a small wireless travel router.  TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano router or other router of trip is all you need.  The WR702N is available on eBay or Amazon for only $21.00, that's right, only $ 21.

  This device does not support the authentication of company systems because it cannot meet any username and password prompts these system as your computer can.  However, it will connect to a standard WPA SSID and your computer, but if you receive a browser for other questions page redirect, it won't work.

  It's a small powerful travel router which built in 5 modes of operation (more than your home router can do):

  1. AP mode
  2. Client mode
  3. Repeater mode
  4. Router mode
  5. Bridge mode

  The TP-WR702N information is found here:

  http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#over

  To see the overview of applications see here first to understand:

  http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#app

  I won't go into the details on how to configure these modes in the TP Link router Nano as the manual does a great job.  One thing you must remember is that you must assign a static IP address on your wired Ethernet connection of computers to access the Web interface internal of the Nano.  The Nano is configured with an Ethernet cable at any time.  It's security that the router that has DHCP disabled so if you connect to a network, you won't crash it with an IP address conflict.  The Nano is powered by a USB cable and comes with a USB AC adapter too.

  The IP address of the Nano is default 192.168.0.254.  Set your computers Ethernet Port, adapter not wireless, a static IP 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0 DNS address.  You have to find a way to do it yourself, but it is explained in the manual and on the web for the operating system of your computer.

  This leaves your wired Ethernet connection to a static IP address and your adapter wireless DHCP.  Don't forget to put your wired to DHCP if you need to use it later for a wired connection.  Connect the Ethernet cable from your computer to the router Nano.

  Set up your browser by going to 192.168.0.254 (Nano IP address) in the address bar and you'll get the username and password login screen.  The default username and password is admin/admin, you can change it if necessary.

  Set the Nano bridged mode:

  Other modes will be mentioned later but for now; Bridge mode will serve as this isolates and creates your own SSID private the hotel/motel/dorm room open wireless network SSID.  In Bridge Mode you entrance and connect to the Rangoon SSID (paraphrasing) AND set up your own small network with your own SSID and password.  Your SSID will be separated and protected through WPA2-AES security that you set up.   You will be able to go online normally fine, but all of your devices will now connect to your private SSID.

  Example:

  Hotel SSID: HILTON Hotel Paraphrase and password: GUEST

  Nano SSID: MYNETWORK Nano Paraphrase/password: HP5514

  With this information, the rest is easy.  You set your SSID private and password first, they you must find and connect to the SSID and password hotels.  Simply click on the SURVEY button and a list of all available networks will be displayed along with their MAC addresses.  Find the network SSID, you want to connect (bridge) too and click on "connect".  Information is entered automatically.  I suggest that you also edit your channel wireless on a fixed channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.

  Save your settings and you will be told to restart the router.  Follow the instructions and always restart the router after any changes take effect.  This Nano restarts in 20 seconds approximately.

  Now on your computer when you scan available networks, you will see MYNETWORK.  Connect your computer to the SSID and enter your HP5514 password and you're on!  Start surfing or something else.

  Now, what about your printer?  The printer must be set to DHCP and assuming that you have a printer wireless with front panel:

  1. Go to (Assistant) wireless configuration screen.
  2. Search for available networks.
  3. Select: MYNETWORK
  4. Enter your password: HP5514
  5. To connect!

  In about 15 seconds, you're connected!   Oh, guess what?  The Nano has a WAN/LAN port and in Bridge mode, it is a LAN port that is connected to your network too!  Then plug into a printer/computer Ethernet cable, if you wish.

  Your printer will work as usual with no change at all.  I set up in my house to test and it connected perfectly to my HP5514 wireless printer.  All the tools, diagnostics, printer functions, alerts of ink were normal.

  You're done!

  The bottom can be used anywhere to create a local private network so that you and others can use your printer.

  Now, what about the changes?  If at home, you can use the Nano in Repeater mode to connect to your own network and extend the reach of all devices.  Even as the Bridge mode, but you're on your network using your SSID and the word normal, so everyone can use the printer.

  Don't worry what you heard with speed of execution of a router in Repeater Mode.  Most routers House when running in wireless Repeater mode should be set to no encryption or WEP only.  Here max speed is 54 Mbps.  This Nano turns at full speed of 150 Mbps in these modes, using the highest security WPA2-AES (personal).

  Remember that the size is small, so it's good to perhaps more than 50 feet.  HD video streaming was impeccable and surf watch video at the same time was perfect.

  I hope this help you when business or vacation.  Some hotels charge for EACH device connection.  With the implementation above, it takes only a charge for multiple devices, such as cell phones, iPads, light fires, computers or anything else you want to connect.

  EDIT - do not forget that this Nano device has an Ethernet connection that once configured, you can use to connect a wired computer or wired Ethernet printer.  It is a good radio your printer wireless doesn't have to convert a wired Ethernet wireless printer or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

  Have fun!

• LaserJet M1212nf: Problems setting up wireless printing

  I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my office, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wireless. I spent probably 10 + hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.

  It drives me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a society of software and very savvy in computer science. However, my non-techie family have all managed to set up wireless printing at their home in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.

  Here are the steps that I followed, although I also tried many variations, like trying with my USB cable connected or disconnected.

  (1) uninstall the current installation of the printer (USB).

  (2) on the printer itself, make sure that the settings > network settings are the default values.

  (3) using the latest drivers and installation .exe from the HP site, start a new installation of the printer.

  (4) when you are prompted, select "wireless."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and indicates that he is there any printer on the network. (Huh? Which network?)

  (5) try again once and this time select "Network Setup."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and says that it cannot detect a network.

  If the wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to install, I don't know where to go from here.

  (6) I also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I'm at halfway through the installation, it tells me that it cannot find my printer.

  I am suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may even not allow for wireless printing. Some info on the HP site says to check a particular button lights up to indicate that the printer is online. This light does not exist on my printer model. However, the parameters of the printer from my physics has parameters such as: "show IP address," etc., which would lead me to believe that it can work wireless.

  I have read all the help related HP printer, and there is nothing which explains, in simple language, what are the types of cables, I need to set up a network and the Wi - Fi connection, when to plug them in, what facilities to perform on the many Add - ons available, etc.. I don't know that it's a 5 minute process if there was just a good explanation in the help of the UP of how do. Assistance would be appreciated!

  Hello @SKYdiz,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have had problems for the last 2 years and spent many hours trying to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP for wireless printing. At this point I'll provide more information about it. First of all, are sitting you?

  Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf multifunction printer isn't a model wireless printer. The "nf" at the end of the name of the printer is the abbreviation of 'network, fax. Therefore, if your printer is not able to connect to your router wireless, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.

  All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable to the back of your printer to your router. That all devices connected to this router even (whether through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print it on your printer. For more information on configuring ethernet on your printer, please visit: Setup the printer to a wired network in Windows 7 for HP's LaserJet printers.

  Now, if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network, HP makes other Laserjet models that do not use the wireless function. Here are two LaserJet who are black only, multifunction wireless units that resemble your current printer model: HP LaserJet MFP HP LaserJet MFP M225dw Pro and M127fw Pro.

  Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. If you have other questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to help you. Happy new year!

• problem setting up wireless printer

  Original title: device

  I have some problem with usb cable and wireless printer setting
  I'm really not sure why or what to do
  It says to install a WSD printer device - don't know what it was but when tried to click on it - it would not set

  First, you will need the printer drivers to find the printer (wired or wireless) on any computer that you want to configure the printer on. You can get the printer drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your computer or a disk driver that came with your computer, when you bought it. Second, all of the computers you want to connect to the wireless printer should also have the software for the installed printer. Finally, before you can get a working wireless printer there need to work with a wired connection (this should all be covered in the manual.)

  See the manual for step by step installation. Visit manualowl.com or just see by the manufacturer. If you can't do that, I'm sure you can do the next step.

  Contact the manufacturer of your printer. They will guide you through the installation. They will have installation instructions ready. If you have no software to install, you will need to order it or download it via the manufacturer.

• Connection a wireless printer HP Netbook (Windows XP).

  Do you mean that you HAVE downloaded the driver from the Brother website or ask you if you have TO download the driver?

  Yes, you need to download the driver (because I assume that you don't have a CD for the Netbook player and so cannot use the CD that came with your printer).

  http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/DLF/DLF/000000/004400/dlf004455.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj265w_all&type2=1&OS=7&flang=8&dlid=dlf004455

  This printer is responsible for integrated wireless network, so it is unclear what you mean when you write that you set up wireless "for a desktop Dell Windows 7 operating."  Usually, we use a network printer is NOT connect directly to a computer, but to allow the printer to connect directly to the network, either through an Ethernet cable to the router, or a wireless connection to the router.

  If your printer works on the Windows 7 computer WITHOUT being connected using a USB cable, you have things correctly.  And, if the printer is not directly connected to the Win 7 computer, there is no need to configure sharing the printer on this computer, and you should not do.  'Sharing' in the sense of network Windows means sharing a resource that "belongs" to a computer, such as files on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer via USB or parallel port.

  Just download the software package for the Netbook and follow the instructions on the download page, linked above.

  I don't know anything about computers so to speak to me like I'm a fool. Here's my problem I have a C4580 All in one printer and an HP Pavilion Slimline s3700y PC.

• using an aircard from verizon for internet connection card, can't connect to wireless printer

  I have tried evreything, and I can not connect wireless HP photosmart printer and my computer together.  He told me I should use a wifi wireless connection, the man at the store that I bought the printer from told me that the aircard card will also work to connect, HELP

  Yes, a router just stand by and connect your computer and your wireless printer.  So, because of this very basic need, you can get with the basic model.  Here are some tips:

  1 802.11 g, 2.4 GHz is fine.

  2. you don't need a USB port.

  3 stick with brands like Cisco/Linksys or Netgear.

  4. search for the models on sale at Amazon, Wal-Mart or BestBuy - you should be able to find one for less than $40.

• Problem connecting to a printer USB to Equium A60

  I tried to connect a USB printer, Photosmart C3180, to my laptop Toshiba Equium A60 model but when I load the software and follow the instructions it seems to load correctly, then at the end the following error message appears "specified Port unknown".

  I tried everything the printer manufacturing suggested and even downloaded the latest Toshiba BIOS updates, but this still does not work. The PC detects new hardware but won't install it.

  I tried with another USB printer and the same message appeared.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  It seems that the printer port name specified does not exist on your computer.
  You must use the Print Manager to see the current list of ports, you can print and use one of these.

• Connectivity to wireless printer

  I'm in the Mac environment more recent and running on the wireless network.  I have problems with my 200 Color LaserJet MFP that whenever I have print something, the printer shows "offline".  I have to restart the printer to resolve the issue, then my queue prints as it should.  Things work very well to begin with... but I have the printer 6 months (not heavy volume) and now this happens whenever I have print something.

  All solutions?

  Hi epbarnett70,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see that you have a problem with the printer showing "offline." Please make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

  I have also found a document dealing wth a only printer keeps not a wireless connection.

  If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

  Thanks for your time.

  See you soon,.

• Unable to connect a wireless printer with laptop computer since the reset wireless router

  I have a wireless HP C4580 printer that connects to my Acer Aspire laptop using windows 7. The two have worked together very well for months.  My wireless router stopped working a few days ago, so I had to unplug the device to make it work again is it.  But since then, I can't get my lap top to communicate with the printer now.
  I went all the problem of shooting and insured the printer is on line and set it as default printer. I even did a system restore, as suggested in the troubleshooting
  With the help of the program are the two messages that I get now troubleshooting
  1 that the C4500 series can be contacted via the network (this is the message that I had before the restoration also)
  2 the C4500 series is not shared with the homegroup

  All the tips are greatly appreciated in progressive simple language as possible as I am a bit useless with computers

  I assume that the printer is all first directly connected on the router, then the laptop?  Access the router and make sure that the printer is listed as a "wireless client" connection  If this isn't the case, you should probably restore the wireless "link" between the printer and the router then the printer should work.
