• HP c410: hp c410 printer and router netgear wnr 2500 wifi

  For the past 8 years, I have been using a linksys router.  Every night, I stop everything, including the router and internet modem.   The next morning I would re - start everything and the printer will automatically reconnect through the router.  Finally, I replaced the dinosaur of a router with a wifi wnr netgeat router 2500.  Now, when I stopped the router, I recreate the connection.  I used the manual method and the WPS method, and none took place.  I've also had occasional problems with the connection is lost or is hard to do.  I would like suggestions.

  Hey @iwilder,

  I understand that since hang your new router Netgear your HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One-C410a printer fails to reconnect automatically to your network every morning that you unplug all devices power every night. However, your printer has been able to automatically reconnect to your original Linksys router every day.  Because your printer works well, once the wifi installation is run, we know that the wireless in your printer card works properly. I think that this problem is due to a conflict with the new Netgear router setting. I will get you a few steps below to solve this problem for you.

  Step 1: connectivity:

  When you connect all your devices in the morning, make sure that you plug your router first. Once the router is on and functioning, your printer in. If the printer is connected prematurely, your custom network connection is active on the router and printer do not automatically reconnect to your network. Therefore, it is perhaps just a case do not give enough time for your router to power on before connecting your HP Photosmart camera.

  Step 2: Check the router settings:

  Some settings in your router can cause your printer does not reconnect automatically. This does not mean that everything is 'wrong' with your router. It may be just that your router does its job too well and does not your printer to automatically reconnect to the network as the printer is considered a "threat". To resolve this problem, please can I make sure that the following ports are open on your router and that the following parameters are adjusted. If you do not know how to change these settings on your own, you will need to have Netgear support will guide you through this.

  • Incoming (UDP) Ports to open:

  137, 138, 161, 427

  • Outgoing (TCP) Ports to open:

  137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

And I have file sharing on now before this router I got router belkin 54 g has of worked but developed a fault, so I bought this one instead. Now the strange thing is the laptop connected with wep on the old router. And the laptop has settings to select wpa2 but nothing happens and the security settings for the wireless is set to automatic and is set on the edge b/n/g on the router.

• How can I get unidentified network settings stick, private and change its name?

  I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my computer at home, because my Internet is wireless usb (AT & T Quicksilver) device that can be plugged directly into my router (Linksys WRT110).  Given that the router accepts only as an internet connection ethernet cables, instead I use my desktop computer as the connection (ICS) and using the router only as a hub, essentially.

  Everything is working well at the moment.  The Office will connect to the internet and other computers and devices connected to the router (wired and wireless) are all works well and can share the internet connection.

  But whenever I restart the desktop computer, the default network is "unidentified network" and as a type of 'Public' without discovery service.  So every time I go to network settings and make it private.  It works fine until the next reboot.  In addition, I am not able to change the network name.  The field seems open for entry, but selecting and typing does nothing.

  I don't know if it's relevant, but other devices to connect to the network are laptops (of various working groups, need to be since they are mainly used to work) and a DirecTV DVR, using Mediashare (via Windows Media Server).  Yet once, they all work, after doing the private network, but this is lost at every restart of the desktop computer.

  I wish I could have it be a private network that is identified by a name and keep these parameters at each reboot.  But I have yet to find an online solution that worked for me.

  Matt,

  Thank you very much.  It worked like a charm.  I was pulling my hair out on this one for a few months.  Once again, a big thank you!

  For anyone else trying to solve the same problem, here is the summary of the solution.

  I have already had no default gateway specified.  As advised by Matt, I right click on the Local network connection (in network and sharing Center / manage network connections) and went in the IPV4 properties and put in the address of a default gateway (equal to the IP address of my router/hub).  I left the ICS settings and all the way IP addresses which I had them before (with zero in the third byte of the IP address of all and ICS turned on).  I have no registry changes.  The only change is the default gateway.  After this change, a wizard appears to allow me to set up the network properly.  And I could rename and define the private network.  And the changes were intact after several reboots.  Perfect.

  -Andrew

• Second laptop unable to connect; When trying to connect wirelessly, says connection is successful, but the Public unidentified network, no Internet.

  Hi all.

  I'm really sorry to post this question, I must have read 100 other threads on this topic, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

  I have a home set wireless network in place, which may not have a lot of problems with it that I have a laptop W7 which has a perfect wireless connection, and also our TV connect when you want, as do our phones and Xbox.

  We bought a second hand Acer aspire laptop for our daughter. It is running Vista Edition family Basic. Even if she had the factory reset done on this, because we can connect to the router with an ethernet cable and it works very well, we managed to ensure that all updates of Windows etc are all complete.

  When trying to connect wirelessly, it says connection successful, but it is to a Public unidentified network, and there is no Internet. Also, even if it says Local access, we cannot connect to the router settings page is.

  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the built-in wireless adapter and updated the driver to do this, he says that he is as up-to-date as possible.

  I checked that DHCP is enabled, we tried dynamic and static IP addresses, we have disabled and re ipv6 enabled, we used the command prompt to reset winsock and stack ip, I looked into msconfig services for service # Id_String1.6844f930_1628_4223_b5cc_5bb94b879762 # Apple off but it isn't here.

  I have a real dislike for Norton / products McAfee and there is none of these on the laptop. We will install Comodo Internet Security, Eusing Registry Cleaner, Spybot S & D and Spyware Blaster as soon as the wireless is configured and that the Windows Firewall is disabled.

  We also have many turns of the spin off the coast and laptops, etc. and deactivation and activation of the adapter.

  It seems that all the usual solutions for the lack of connection are not the culprits this time.

• Vista unidentified network problem

  My HP G60 laptop under vista home premium got an "unidentified network" problem and not able to get on the internet. I even tried to reinstall vista to factory default, still the same problem with my wireless router.

  Spec:

  -HP G60 laptop computer, running vista Home premium 32-bit, with 3 GB of RAM

  -Belkin router

  -I am able to connect via a fine wired line but with a Wi - Fi, it shows constantly 'unidentified network', even if I changed the Private mode in network and sharing Center.

  -J' tried the following: listed an SSID different router, reset the router by default, to reinstall vista, tried other mechanisms, such as specified in the forum, with no difference

  -When you configure the router, I have clone MAC of the laptop to the router to get the connection with Comcast, has done that with network cable connected, internet connection worked well after cloning.

  -no virus SW installed.

  Any suggestions on what might be the solution here? Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that something is blocking the wireless to connect to the wireless router and to obtain a valid IP address.

  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.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

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

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, 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.

  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.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

  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.

• Can someone help me with the problem of Vista Home Wireless (unidentified network)

  I recently replaced my wireless router and now I get "Unidentified network - Local access" when you try to connect to my network.

  This problem occurs only with this computer Vista Home.  (All other wireless devices have any problems (Win7 netbook, iPad, PS3, etc).)
  ipconfig/all shows me a valid ip address, subnet mask and gateway also seems to have a Mac address of zero.
  Norton Internet Security was installed, but I have removed and still have the same problem.

  Hello

  Position of your router would be suspicious here. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
