• Want to 4500 Series: I still need to be able to recycle router/printer on my home network wireless daily

  Several devices were all printed on home wireless network, but often the message of the printer is offline. Scan doctor suggests power recycling the router/printer, which seems to work but which is very annoying when it happens every day. y at - it a fix for this problem

  These settings are to set up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, wireless devices stay better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.

  While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers must always be assigned an IP (fixed) manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network.

  1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
  2. Or check in the printer that ' Auto Off/sleep/power saving mode ' is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check the properties of your printers.
  3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
  4. If necessary and you have assigned a static IP address, try using auxiliary for the preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server.
  5. Wireless printers work on the band Wireless 2.4 Ghz not the band 5.0 Ghz.
  6. Make sure the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP support site.
  7. Check all devices wireless in your home for interference. Check microwave, babyphones, phones, wireless and wireless alarm systems are a big culprit.  Any of these will knock at your printer wireless intermittently.
  8. Make sure that your printer and router are at least 5 feet independently of each other.

  In the router: (refer to the manual of your router for more information)

  1. Use a fixed wireless channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
  2. Set the router to 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps router function.
  3. Always use WPA2-AES encryption (personal), but you can try the "mixed" mode
  4. Disable the WPS and never use it and disable the UPnP for the security of routers. No one can hijack your system now and help with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, research on the web).
  5. If you have a router dual band (2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands), make sure the SSID is NOT identical, they must be different for all the bands, even for networks without comments.
  6. SSID broadcast should be enabled.
  7. Save all the settings. Food at the same time, wait 2 minutes.  Power on router wait 2 minutes.
  8. Marketing the printer and check that it reconnects to the router.

  Microsoft has announced an update of Windows for the detection of device address... mode devices .waking 'sleep'. Update your Windows 10.

  If you have Windows 7/8/8.1 discovery network is on or off?

  1. Control Panel/Network and Internet/network and sharing Center / advanced sharing settings.
  2. Under home or work (current profile) / network discovery.
  3. Select "Turn on network discovery" and save the changes.

  Now the last thing to do once everything above has been tried and you still have the same problem, completely uninstall and delete the printer and its software.

  Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php .  Use of the powerful scanner at the end to remove all registry entries.

  Now go back and reinstall the drivers and full software on the HP website.

  Last resort effort - if your printer has an Ethernet connection, suggest you to get some adapters line and convert your Ethernet wiring for your printer.

• HP Deskjet 2540: help! Cannot connect to the home network wireless HP 2540.

  So, I'm trying to connect my new wireless printer to my home network.  Yay!  I move into the 21st century!   Not so fast, Buster!

  Here's the run down:

  I ran the installation CD, connected to a USB port when told to find my SSID, entered my password, he did his thing and then he said that I had the wrong password.  Perhaps. Ok.  Tried again with the same results.    Connected on the router (gateway of Technicolor), checked the password.  Nope, it did ' t change.  Tried again, and this time, I hit the button troubleshooting when he told me that I had the wrong password.

  I followed the guide that he d/l would be after the presentation of the error report.  Run the test of wireless network from the buttons on the printer and it says "the WPA security password configured on your HP printer is not your wireless router setting."  I assure you, expensive printer, I have not.

  Jumped on the router page configuration when you are prompted by the guide troubleshooting and ensured that MAC filtering has been set to 'allow all' which, according to the manual of the router assures me, will allow all devices to connect.  Made sure that the 2 GHz range was alive and Kickin ' and that DHCP is enabled in the IPv4 & 6 tabs.  I even reset the router as the troubleshooting guide said.  Ran the test report yet, not logged in.  It is then the troubleshooting guide abandoned and directed me here.

  But then I noticed in the manual of the printer there is a WPS function available!  WPS!  It's must be!   Pressed the button wireless to the printer for 5 seconds to put in WPS mode, press the button on the router... not good.  I noticed that on top of one of the many reports of tests wireless network there is a WPS PIN which was good for 5 minutes.  Got a new a new wireless network test report, went into the router WPS customer PIN login page, entered it... no good.  I tried again with the page, open and ready to go, just in case I took longer than 5 minutes.  Still not good.

  So I thought I would at least give the option 'WiFiDirect' to try printing.  I printed the page "Use printer wireless without a router" by pressing the direct wireless for about 5 seconds, found the printer in the WiFI networks and entered the password to 8 digits when he asked for the WPA key.  I don't remember if he said it was the wrong key or what, but now it just says: unable to connect to the network.

  All the test reports diagnostic results show the wireless on and functional.  Connectivity has not been executed, the SSID was found with no other network corresponding to my network name, with 12 other networks detected.  The settings part was not run and Security (in bold and in italics as in the report) down (in the report) since, I guess, he thinks that I have the wrong password.  Who, once more, I assure you that I am not.

  So my question is basically this: now what?

  Well, I told you a hundred times... Gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   My suggestion is for connect you to put this bridge in full bridge mode device and buy a router of high quality that you have full control over and you.   I gave everything but peripheral gateway troubleshooting.

• Unable to connect the laptop to the printer in a home network

  I just installed a HP Pavilion dv4 laptop, running windows 7 (64 k) and a router Linksys E-1000 of wireles in my home network, consisting of an HP pavilion a6150y desktop, running MS Vista Edition home premium (32 K), to which a HP Photosmart C4280 printer is connected via a USB port. All internet and e-mail functions work perfectly across the home network, except that I can't print from the laptop to the printer. I understand that the C4280 should function as a print server through the Desktop, but I can't print from the laptop. Heterogeneous operating systems cause inability to print from the laptop? Any suggestions?  The laptop has no problems printing to the C4280 when connected directly via a USB cable to the printer.
  Troubleshooting: I ran across the network installation procedure, but nothing helped. The printer has never worked since installation of network components House (e-100 of Linksys and the HP dv4 laptop) anyone can propose a solution?

  First of all, you need to set file/printer sharing and share the printer. If you have already done this and can successfully transfer a file both ways between the two systems, ignore the information of networking at the end of this post. Then you download from the site Web of HP for Windows 7 64-bit print drivers.

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/support_task.html

  Install the printer on Windows 7 computer and it should be considered during the installation procedure. If it isn't, then install the printer as a local printer instead. To do this:

  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.

  If you have not already created your LAN file/printer sharing:

  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.

  The Windows 7 network type must be on "Home" or "work". The type of Windows Vista network must be on "private". "Public" is for when you are connected to an Internet connection 'foreign' as an Internet café, at Starbucks or a hotel, etc. 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

  In Vista, turn on 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, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. In XP, you can run the Network Setup Wizard or just enable file sharing / print in the Windows XP firewall exceptions. 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).

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) -http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  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.

• install the wireless laptop to print on a home network with C410 ptr

  Currently, I have a HP PC W7 with a HP C410 printer connected by USB cable. The PC is on my home network from Verizon.

• HP DeskJet 930C color: print to DJ 930C of HP Pavilion DV4 - 1287CL on a home network wireless.

  I'm having a problem with my DeskJet 930 C.  It is a very good printer and worked for many years.  It is connected directly to a desktop PC running Win7 (32 bit).  I recently acquired a HP Pavilion DV4 - 1287CL (64-bit) and it attached to my home network.  I thought that I would be able to print remotely from the new laptop, but I have failed so far.

  I downloaded programs HP solves printer installation problems, and this has helped me to find a driver for the Pavilion.  This driver works fine if I connect directly, via a USB cable to the printer.  However, if I try to print over the network, it does not.

  I wonder if the problem has to do with the fact that my office use Win7 32 bit, while the laptop is configured with Win7 64 bit.  Is there an incompatibility problem?

  For now, I'll be able to print by connecting the laptop directly to the printer, but I'd largely be able to work remotely on the laptop and send data over the network to the printer.  Is this feasible?

  Thanks to anyone who can offer help!

  Tom.

  Well, it has finally decided to work!  After trying everything I could think of, I went back and remove the printer flag and started from scratch.  I've implemented the homegroup network, allowing the use of the printer on the network.  Then, I pulled up the "Devices and printers" program on the Pavilion and added to the printer.

  It showed immediately on the Pavilion as being available on the network, and I chose that the printer is connected.  Nothing to it!

  So, I conclude that I did simply something wrong the other day when I tried to connect to the printer.  If at first you don't succeed, try and try again!  Or, in the case of computers, all clear and start over!

  I'll mark it as "resolved".

• HP Photosmart B110a all-in-one: unable to connect to the home network wireless HP B110

  Hello

  I haven't used my printer for a while, so put in a new cartridge and tries to connect to my wireless network - domestic (the printer is next to the Belkins router). I've also upgraded to Windows 10 recently (also have a laptop with W7).

  The printer detects the SSID for wifi and after you type the router password wireless (WPA - PSK), it is NOT authenticated.

  The password IS CORRECT (100%) but it fails on the section of SECURITY depending on the display and the summary diagnosis. The message of the report is:

  Your route wireless requires a password WPA securitg. The password configured on your HP printer does not exactly. Run the network setup wireless for re0enter your network wireless WPA security passphrase.

  I need this because the only way I print is wireless email / I send it to the email address designated and it prints - it is not physically connected to any laptop / pc.

  I tried several times, including inputtingthe SSID manually, swtiching OFF etc.

  Please help - thank you in advance.

  Best regards

  Disable and remove temporarily the password on your routers SSID. Now try to connect to your SSID unsecured. Are you successful? If Yes, go back and add WPA2-AES with a password and try again.

• Need to connect to the home network wireless - Windows XP Pro - error with network password - needs to be 40bits or 104 bits...

  I have a new laptop at home which has windows xp sp 2 is installed.  I am trying to connect to my wireless network.
  I get the following error;
  The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.  This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii or 26 hexadecimal characters.

  I gave my father a new laptop computer this fall and he gave me one that had given him his friend... I've never worked with XP Pro...

  We have several other phones on this account wireless at home.

  You try to login with the wrong encryption method and you have this implemented extremely secure wireless network.

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Y at - it a home network wireless Parental controls?

  Y at - it software that will put parental controls on my wireless network so that things including video game consoles will be protected from dangerous Web sites? I don't want to go out and buy a new router with the built-in parental controls if I have to. I used to use Home Network Defender but now I can't renew it because the product is not sold more.

  I tried OpenDNS, but there is nothing that will allow me to put my password to get around the block. It's really annoying.

  Thank you.

• Cannot share my printer on VISTA Home Premium

  Hello... I configured a Brother printer as a local printer on my computer VISTA Home Premiun (latest printer drivers) and you want to share with the other computer on the network running Windows XP Professional.

  I tried to turn on the sharing of printers in sharing and discovery in Network Center and sharing.  However, every time that I click on the button apply the function remains off.  The network is private.  Working groups are the same.  Using Norton 360 version 3 as the firewall.  I tried adjusting the parameters of traffic in the Firewall Norton for Windows file sharing get through, no difference.  I uninstalled the Norton 360 using the Norton removal tool and tried with no firewall turned on... no luck.

  Also, I tried to turn on Public folder sharing in the same area.  I get an error dialog that says "incorrect function".

  Help, please.  Research on the web (including the site of Norton) gave no response or things to try.

  Thank you. Just like a book four of the liver in a ladle of pint.

  Yes.  I finally got mine works too.  After uninstalling Norton 360 with the Norton Removal Tool and restart a coupla times.  It still does not work.  Then...  I reinstalled VISTA Home Premium.  It's a horrible work-around because you lose all your customizations (mine are about 7 years), but the installer moved all my programs and desktop in a Windows old folder files, so I'm keeping them.

  I need to reinstall literally everything whole again, but this crazy printer sharing button finally lit.

  Thank you Aaron.  Good luck to you.
