• HP DESKJET 2540: My HP printer connects to the wrong wireless network

  Hello

  I use a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9

  I have a printer HP DESKJET 2540

  I just installed a new network at my place. I'm trying to connect my printer to this new network wirelessly via WIFI.

  BUT the printer keeps on connecting to the previous network, which is an open access network (FreeWIFI)

  I've tried EVERYTHING. I pressed simultaneously the Wireless button and the button to launch the copy in black. The wirelss test report shows that my printer is currently always logged the previous SSID

  Help, please!

  Hi @JACE1,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your HP Deskjet 2540 guard wrong wireless network connection. I'm happy to look into this problem of connectivity for you!

  On the wireless test report, must be an IP address from the printer. Try putting the IP address in a web browser, such as: Safari or Firefox, etc. You should see a built-in Web server. Find the network tab and then select it. Then, look for the wireless configuration wizard option. (This should be able to search for the network wireless appropriate for you).

  See page 55 of the User Guidefor more details your printer.

  Hope this solves your problem and have a nice day!

  Hello @fairgame,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I understand that you have a problem with the WiFi and wanted to help you!

  First of all, try to review the next steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:

  HP PC - troubleshooting Internet and wireless network

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.

  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.

  Test an ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

  Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution', this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

  Have a great day!

• 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!

  Guys, I'm really hitting my head against the wall on this one, and I would be VERY happy for any help through this. Thank you!

  I thought about it, there was a corrupted installation of Norton 360, the origin of the problem. I've used the Norton removal tool and voila! Internet! Thank you.

• New dv - 6033cl 6 connects to the home network.

  I just bought this laptop yesterday. During the initial installation, he finds my home network easily and worked well. Last night, it stop working. He sees the network, but does not connect.

  Computer is Win 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

  Can I wireless home from my phone, so it CAN connect.

  I updated my firmware to the router (Linksys WRT150N), strengthened the WPA2-Personal security and restarted the router. Nothing helps.

  I have three other computers running Windows 7 here (2 are HP, it's a Sony) and a Sony Vista - all these are perfectly connected to the home network.

  I'm frustrated - ideas? Thank you very much for your help!

  I have trouble with my router channels too, and which did not help. I was kind of beat my head against the wall last night...

  You know what finally worked? I turned off the Bluetooth. As soon as that blew up, the wireless immediately (and automatically) hooked up to my home network. Crazy, isn't it?

  I really appreciate all the help and advice ~ thank you for your time!

• Windows 7 wireless emphasizes the connection to the wrong access point

  I use a model of wireless USB Netgear WN111 with Windows 7 64-bit adapter, connect to a D-Link wireless access point.

  Every time I have connect or wake the computer from sleep, he insists on connecting to the wrong access point - it connects to an unsecured Linksys device somewhere within the range.  I then manually connect to the correct access point - my D-Link.

  I went into the network sharing Center > manage the wireless networks and removed the network Linksys of rogue, but it always comes back.

  Any ideas or advice?

  Hello

  I don't know why he keeps picking up the 'rogue' network after that you deleted. My Windows 7 does not behave like that, and my research can reveal a way that I could do. Maybe someone else can tell you why he does. However, as a solution, you can try the following in manage wireless networks...

  1. do not remove the network of thugs, move it to the bottom of the list all the way down.

  2. open the rogue network properties and uncheck the box "connect automatically when this network is in range.

  3. open the properties of your network and check the box "connect automatically when this network is in range.

  4. you can even try to untick "connect to a more preferred network if available" both networks.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

• Satellite A300 - does not connect to the secure network to WPA

  Help please... new Toshiba Satellite A300 - running XP Professional with atheros AR9281 (driver 7.6.0.200) wireless network adapter will not connect to the secure networks, WAP, but seems to be fine with the WEP and non secure networks?

  I can connect to my WAP secured network using LAN cable and also if I use an external Netgear wireless adapter, so the problem is probably with this adapter or driver. I updated the bios and tried update driver, but no luck. Current driver is (I believe) more up to date?

  Would be grateful for your help.

  Thank you.

  On the Toshiba site is a newer version of the driver available (7.6.1.149.1)
  Then I would try the new driver.
