  • F4580, printer: unable to connect F4580 to wireless network after the upgrade of Virgin Media nowhub

    My printer HP F4580 was connected to my network without wire from Virgin Media Superhub. Then I upgraded to the latest Supehub2 of VM (150 MB/s) but the printer does not now connect. We have 2 Macbooks that connect ok for the SSID of 5 Ghz and a cell phone that connects ok for the SSID of 2.4 Ghz. The printer is WPS enabled and therefore the network. I tried to add the printer to the network using the two WPS push and entering the PIN for Client in the VM Supehub Wireless Manager, but neither work. When I get the F4580 to print the wireless network test report prints a WPS PIN and details for the VM in 2.4 GHz network (auth WPS - PSK, AES/TKIP encryption) sees it. The report includes the SSID for my previous network in the configuration summary. I don't seem to have another way to connect elsewhere WPS push or PIN customer WPS.

    In Manager machine virtual Supehub mode wireless 2.4 GHz network is defined as up to 144 Mbs, but it makes no difference if I put it up to 54 Mbit / s. The Security Mode is set to Auto WP, it makes no difference if I put it to WPA2-PSK (AES).  WPS is activated, and push the WPS button on the Supehub flashes when I use WP Push or enter the PIN code of the customer. In both cases, the I pressed the F4580 wireless button so that the indicator wirelss light flashes then than the VM, push the button flashes. Can anyone help?

    I solved the problem of (re-) install the printer on a Windows PC on the same network, using the CD for the printer. The installation allowed me to select the network, and set up the printer for wireless use.

  • Satellite C660-1NJ - unable to connect to the wireless network

    Hi guys

    I got a 1nj c660 and I have a wireless connection to a Fritzbox 7170.

    Now, this morning, everything was fine and I connected wonderfully, but now I can't connect no settings have been changed I just stop and start as usual. I used configfree and it shows the network but if I try to connect it says unable to connect to the network. I have Win7 home basic OS.

    I uninstalled the wireless network card and reinstalled, updated the drivers but nothing works, I still get the same error.

    Can someone help will appreciate it greatly!

    Hello

    Are you able to connect to open WLan?
    I mean you can try to disable security options in your Fritzbox and might test whether you are able to connect without the WEP, WPA or other safety standards.
    Of course, you should only done for testing purposes

    If this box works, then it means that the security of your router settings were not consistent with the settings of the Wlan card.

  • C309g-m - unable to connect to the wireless network, touchpad hangs

    Hello.

    As PrintDoc has suggested, it's a new thread in the suite here, where I jumped in with a diversion to the station 23.  I'm sorry.

    Here are the details:

    (1) system:

    Router is Thomson TG585n provided by ISP O2/Telefonica.  Download high speed ADSL to ~ 9Mbps.

    3 devices connected and stable:

    -L' computer running XPSP3, connects to the router via homeplug (Ethernet on electrical wiring).

    -Laptop running Vista Home Premium, connects wirelessly with WPA2-AES.

    -Mobile phone runs Symbian 60, connect wirelessly in the same way.

    Router is configured to operate on channel 11 g wireless and accept new devices automatically with the appropriate security password.

    It is a House of 3 floors - router on the top floor has always worked. computer bureau on a middle floor with printer; laptop and the phone can be anywhere.

    So far so good.

    Now, I want to add the wireless printer and I'm really bad.

    (2) summary of symptoms:

    I bought the C309g-m on Amazon UK in January 2010.  USB connection with assistant easily.  Migrated to wireless via the front panel.  Easy. Then tried to add a 500 GB Freecom Network Drive (NAS device connected to the router) and has failed, because I didn't RTFM.  After removing the FND, I get an error message of HP to the effect that I have "tried to set the printer's IP address" and lost the connection to the printer wireless.  Have not seen this message since then, so I can't reproduce.

    As I said, I removed the FND, who never appeared on the network in any way.  However I still can't connect to the printer wirelessly.  The wireless connection wizard crashes after asking to specify a password.  The wireless network Test report that the radio works, but shows FAIL the entrance of 'No filter '.  I looked into the console of the router and there is nowhere to set the MAC address filtering, so I'm stumped.

    I tried to 'Add a device' CD, for network via USB settings.  It takes forever (30 minutes?) to come up with the same error "MAC address filtering.

    One last thing: if I leave radio turned on (the default lighting) will lock the touchpad after a few minutes to the home screen.  If I disable it, it's fine.  Once locked, the only way to stop is to unplug the power supply.

    Finally - all the base printer functions very well.  I can print and scan through the USB port and can take copies.

    Thoughts:

    (a) I think my router settings can be screwed.  I don't see a way to set limits to the DHCP pool, I should be able to.  However, since I was 3 devices that connect to the Internet I am reluctant to do a factory reset in case I lose those!

    (b) there's something wrong with the printer - but I don't know what.

    c) I could try temporarily move the printer to the i) door ii) within reach of hardwirable of CAT5 and wireless range

    (d) the fact that I can connect the printer (wireless) or DNF (cable) makes me suspect the router.  However, I have not received any support from O2: they said it was an internal problem of LAN/WLAN and nothing to do with broadband, therefore, were not willing to help.

    I spent hours on this and get nowhere.  Help, please!

    Tim.

    BTW - I'm in the United Kingdom.

    Well, I think that there are many more problems with 'atypical' routers and HP software as there are with HP printers.  I see not nearly as many problems with certified brand routers WiFi (like Linksys, Netgear and D-Link), as I do with large brands and Belkin.

    The worst offenders are rented modems/routers that your ISP provides.  For some reason, they have a lot of industrial property settings and firmware that simply don't play well with HP printers (may be others, but I would never buy another printer HP - I know way to much about printers after their design for 25 years).

    A reliable and good solution cheap is to go buy a $40 or $50 Linksys router and replace stuff not expensive you have (or paste according to your router/modem rented).   Time and time again, I've seen problems disappear just after installing a standard router.

    You can reserve an IP address for a wired connection, but because parts wired and wireless to the printer have separate MAC addresses, this IP address is not available for the wired connection.

    Read the thread if you wish.  Discover the solutions on this website if you want to, but I still think you have a defective printer.

  • Satellite L300 - unable to connect to the wireless network

    I have a NETGEAR router and a Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop HP DV2000.

    The HP can connect to my wireless network and also my neighbors network next door (which is not secure)
    However, the L300 can only connect to the network of my nextdoor neighbour even if it can 'see' the NETGEAR network.

    I changed the security from WPA to WEP up to now no security at all, and it seems not to matter.
    The strange thing is that my L300 CAN connect to a wireless network, but not mine!

    And my wireless network works as I can connect from my HP laptop.
    On the L300 it shows 5 bars on the NETGEAR is not a problem of weak signal.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try changing the WLAN settings on your router. Compare the WLAN settings on the settings of your laptop and the router.

    Test it with standard B on both devices.
    I mean if your laptop can see neighbours WLAN card wireless network in the laptop must be OK.
    I really thing all is due to wrong WLAN settings.

    Play around with that sort of thing.

  • Satellite M645-S4070 - unable to connect to the wireless network

    Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite M645-S4070.

    Lately, I have no problem connecting to networks wireless in my office. Until this morning when I start my laptop, I can't connect to the internet more. I already use a recovery disk to check if I can solve the problem but nothing is. When it connects to the LAN it runs.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    The wireless network adapter is listed correctly in the Device Manager? It is maybe just disabled, and you can enable/disable using FN + F9 key combination.

    You should write more details not connection might mean everything, so first of all, that you should check if the wireless network adapter is recognized and activated correctly.

  • Unable to connect to the wireless network

    I have a Pavilion DV2000. I am running Vista 32 bit. Used to connect to my home wireless network, it stopped.  I have another computer that still works with the wireless network, so I guess that the wireless network is OK.

    When I look at the HP wireless assistant, it shows the conections of bluetooth, but does not show the wifi connection (as it does not exist).

    When I click on the network icon in the tool bar it ask to search for wireless networks, it says that there is not.

    When I look at the list of drivers for network devices there is no wifi driver.  I installed the driver broadcom on the site of HP rebooted and I still don't see the driver and the PC cannot yet see the wireless network.

    I looked at the list of hardware in Windows system information utility and it shows the Broadcom device, but it shows the address MAC is not available and there is no memory listed address.

    Does anyone have suggestions for a next step?  Is this a problem with the hardware with the broadcom device?  Is it possible to test?

  • HPC8180 printer connects to the wireless network, after upgrade firmware to the router wireless

    My HPC8180 has been wireless since I bought it some time ago.  I recently had to upgrade the firmware on my router wireless of Netcom NB9W and since then my HP will not solve for the wireless network.

    I run the wizzard of wireless network on the printer, select the correct SSID and enter the WEP key according to the instructions.

    It will then not connect.

    Print the summary I have says that it passes all except:

    No filtering = Fail

    Connected = do not run

    Signal strength = very weak (which is strange because it is about 10 feet away from wireless router).

    Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID) = No.

    Summary says:

    Network Name (SSID) altnet (correct)

    Address IP = not applicable

    Configuration source = not applicable

    Communication mode = Infrastructure

    Authentication type = open system

    = 64-bit WEP encryption

    I have NOT activated the mac address filtering

    Any ideas?

    Your router appears to be a DSL modem-router.  Those who can be difficult to connect to.  In addition, WEP can be problematic and is no longer a measure of security.  WEP can be broken in 10 minutes approximately with the freeware on the internet.

    We will do three things:

    1. replace the WPA or WPA2 encryption.  You can make your own password.  Do 13 or more characters, numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters.

    2 reset the default settings on your printer network (configuration > network area).

    3. attach to the router in this way:

    Sometimes the DSL providers have more control over the router like the printer.

    -Unplug the phone line from the router
    -Cut the power to the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn on the power.
    -Go through the normal process of the printer connected to the device (wireless configuration wizard)
    -Now to find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it in a browser.
    -On this screen, you will find a tab management network, then on the left wireless, then the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you know what it is, set an IP address outside this range but not exceeding 254 (the last number of the address).
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Let the white gateway and DNS
    -Finally, connect the telephone line, restart the router and the test.

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network with Windows 7 computer laptop.

    After resetting my router netgear wireless home network, I have not been able to access my own network with my laptop. I already had access to the internet with a wireless ethernet cable and ankles bound to the router. After reset the netgear router, I was able to access the internet from two other laptops XP and an Acer mini wireless with no problems at all. But my new laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 could not connect, even if he could detect the network. I tried all day even resort to the ethernet socket and wireless cable, but even that would no longer work. I was able to connect using this same cable attached.

    Hello

    Seems that the Wireless does not work on the Dell.

    This is the process to try to find what wrong with it.

    ------------------

    Assuming that wireless router is configured correctly, it is a signal and the wireless card on the computer is physically in.

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there is Wireless Utility a seller is not running with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd AV/Firewall/security software part, s costume keep blocking aspects of Local traffic even it they are off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, /Security costume otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  • Pavilion 14-ab051tx N4G24PA: unable to connect to any wireless network after the upgrade to Windows 10

    I recently bought a 14-ab-51tx Pavilion N4G24PA, this is my first laptop from HP, it comes with Windows already installed 8.1 and it worked fine.

    The thing is, I kind of get used to using Windows 10 on my previous laptop, so without further hesitation I upgraded to 64-bit Windows 10.

    Here's what I did wrong:

    Instead of update Windows 8.1 for Windows 10, I indeliberately he installed fresh, with couple of mouse clicks, I didn't realize that I also remove the recovery partition.

    I realized only after the installation process is complete, but then it was too late. I look forward to using my laptop with Windows 10 freshly installed inside to make some games just noticed that I couldn't connect to any network without wire, House or public. It recognizes my wifi at home, but the signal bar is bizarre, there is only 1 bar of signal even if the wireless router is only about 10 feet from him, so I checked my other computers and smartphones, but the signal on them is ridiculously high (full bar), it also detects another wireless network that are further away than my wireless router.

    But back to my HP laptop, I tried to connect to my home network despite the signal bar with the right entry security key, but it does not connect, it says "Cannot connect to the network".

    Tried updating drivers with HP Support Assistant and no luck, the problem persists, tried all the solution on the internet, int ip reset, reset winsock, checking and unchecking, always without success.

    Can someone help me please...

    Hello:

    The BOM indicates that your laptop comes with a Broadcom wireless card.

    Have you tried the last W10 driver for this card to support your PC and driver page?

    This package contains the Broadcom Wireless LAN drivers for the laptop models running a supported operating system. Broadcom wireless LAN drivers are required to activate the built-in Broadcom wireless LAN adapter.
