Wireless router WRP400 WAP54G Point Wireless WPS54G print server Wi - Fi

I have a router broadband wireless Linksys WRP400 with 2 phone ports and a Linksys WPS54G wireless print server. Unfortunately, the signal is too weak to detect the wireless Print Server 20 meters/yards away at the other end of the House. (Works fine when they are close together).

Linksys Help Desk told me that a WRE54G amplifier is not useful to extend range, because they will have only a helping hand signal by 50% compared to a WAP54G wireless access point that they recommend.

Can you suggest the best way to increase the signal between a WRP400 router and a wireless WPS54G print server? Would a WAP54G wireless set to halfway between the two (or in some other way) is working to boost the strength of the signal between WRP400 router wireless and wireless WPS54G Print server?

I don't want to have to wire all devices.

No forum topics cover using the WPS54G and WRP400 together, hope I can push the signal strength wireless - thanks for your help.

Try WAP54G...

  • I can't find the ip address of the print server on my router, DHCP clients

    I got the wireless-g WPS54G print server at a yard sale and have downloaded the Setup Wizard.  Everything looks fine until step 7, select print server.  Could not find anything.

    Before that, I tried to access the print directly through its ip address server, but can't get it.  I checked all the IPS on the main router and found everything except the print server.

    Everything is setup, more than once, exactly as defined in the steps of the installation wizard.

    I have Windows 7 and a computer laptop 64 bit.

    Any suggestion would be great.  I already spent 2 hours on this thing and am determined to make it work.  All the lights on top of the blink/light print server as it should when they should.  I was not wireless yet, still trying to get this Setup program.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Connect to the print server with the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the router.

    Press the reset on the print server for 15-20 seconds.

    You could get the printer test page, mentioning the IP address of the print server.

    If this is not the case, the print server and the router to power cycle.

    Open the router setup page and check if you have the IP address of the print server in the DHCP client table.

  • HP DeskJet 812 C & Wireles Linksys print server

    When I try to configure my printer HP DeskJet 812 C as a network printer, it is connected via a wireless (linksys) print server, I get all the way to the Panel in which I am to set the driver but there are only a couple of mess of the printers listed there. Two, it's because there's only so many wireless printers and Windows 7 did not account for the printers to the print server connected. My 812-C is not among them, because it is not natively a network printer.

    Maybe if I could install the drivers as a separate Act, then I could set up the printer even to work to an IP address. I print on the parallel port. Windows 7 supports parallel to print to the HP DeskJet 812 C printer?

    Concerning

    Problem solved. You did not put the nail on the head, but you got me going in the right direction. There is no way to make Windows come out for windows update driver but I had a feeling that you were just that if I could install the printer on the regular port, I could change it to a network port after. Trouble has been, Windows doesn't recognize the printer via the parallel port. So I got the USB cable from my DVD, plugged and he went out to Windows update, or somewhere and got the drivers. It took almost ten minutes to complete, but most of that was probably downloading. So, after I had it installed, I changed the port to a tcp port and ran a test page, it came out beautiful and listed as 1192.168.0.100. He was good looking. Then I unplugged the USB cable and tried again, no joy. So, you know, I rebooted the machine, ran a test page and it came out great.

    So, he took a long trip around, but my problem is solved. Thanks again for the help.

  • The WPS54G Wireless Print Server works with Vista?

    The WPS54G Wireless Print Server works with Vista? I have a new Dell Vista laptop and unable to connect to the print server. The other XP machines on my network will connect correctly.

    I just got credit working mine in the answers above with a few small differences.

    1. Add the appropriate printer from the control panel > printers > add printer

    2. Select local printer, and then select [Create New Port] > [Standard TCP/IP Port]

    3. [device type] > [TCP/IP device]. Host name or IP address must be the IP address of the print server device.  I use a linksys router and difficulty mine to 192.168.2.10.  Check and are not [query the printer for and auto...]

    4. once nothing is detected, select [custom] > settings

    5. Select LPR, L2 the name value in the queue for a USB printer.  Turn on [LPR active of counting bytes.  Queue names are distinguished by the printer and I think as Mfg ("queue name" search and replacing your printer for queue names.)

    6. Select the Mfg and printer

    7. If the test page does not have a last thing, it is turn on [Control Panel] LPR Print Services > [programs and features] > [activate Windows features ON OFF] pane.  Go to [Print Services] and check on [LPR Port Monitor]

    Hope that makes the magic for you.

  • Router to connect to a wireless print server

    I just got my EA3500 router. This work is very well but I can't connect the router to my WPSM54G print server. I tried DHCP IP, IP manual, for security, I tried WPA and WPA2, and nothing. How can I solve this? TKS, Antonio

    First, turn off the firewall and Antivirus on your computer and re-run the Setup program on your computer...

    If, you are unable to find the IP address of the print server... You can manually configure all the settings on your print server... Here is the link to access the PrintServer Setup page: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=8734f16c5ec1476f9d72e663a6f16c57_4129.xml&pid=80&r...

    IE open on your computer and in the address bar type the IP address of your WPSM54G and hit enter, leave name empty username & password use admin lowercase...

    Once the connection to the print server configuration page, you can match the settings of your router for the WPSM wireless... Once this is done, you can set the static IP address to your WPSM i.e 192.168.1.80... Once done with the parameters of this...

    Now, rerun the Setup program on your computer... and click on "Computer Configuration", this will install all the drivers related to your print server...

    If stil you can not run the Setup program on your computer... Click on the link and follow the instructions how to add the print server on your computer port: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=1da99b59a04c4bad97b05f96f5ca2769_4126.xml&pid=80&r...

    HP Laserjet 200 color M251

    I had this set up works correctly (I forgot how I did it), until we have had an interruption in the internet service last night.  Today, the display on the printer itself says its connected.  My laptop displays this PCL6 printer class driver.  I can't print anything.  Everytime I try, it is said that my impression is offline.  I checked the printer itself, and it says it is connected and online.

    Can someone please?

    Hey @Bionic1 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are having printing problem with your printer LaserJet M251.

    Can you tell me what operating system you are using? What version of Windows you are using, click here: Windows operating system am I running?

    You should be able to see the IP address of the printer by pressing the button on the main screen of the printer wireless. This should be at the top of the screen, then left to right. Once you have the IP address (should be something like 192.168.1.2), type it into the web browser address bar (as you would for a Web site) and try to load the page. This should open an information page for your printer, and is called a built-in Web server.

    If this page does not load, there is no wireless communication. If it does, it indicates that the wireless connection is probably fine, but unfortunately this is not always the case.

    Try powercycling your router to update the communication. Do this by unplugging the power cord from the router and leave it unplugged for at least 45 seconds. Plug back in and wait 1-2 minutes so he can come back online. At this point, try to print.

    If this fails, try to add the printer with the full functionality driver instead of the class driver. Open devices and printers, and right-click on the printer. You should have the ability to delete or remove the printer. Once it's done download and run this installation program: color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.

  • Wireless print server has no WPA encryption

    I have a WPS54GU2 print server which works well on my network wireless for a couple of years.  However, I now have a new wireless router and was advised to use WPA instead of WEP encryption.  OK, so I'll change the encryption on the print server and all will be well... isn't it?  Evil.  The print server has no choice of WPA encryption.  All I get are WEP choices.  Site Web of Linksys shows I should be able to select WPA Personal in the wireless security menu, but he's not here.  Any suggestions?  I guess I can put the entire network to WEP, but I'd rather have the extra if possible security.  Thanks for any help!

    WPS54GU2 print server only support Wep. If you want to use this device set the WEP security on the router.

  • 4 iPad unable to detect the C4599 already connected to the wireless network printer

    Hi all, I have a C4599 All in One Printer. I have just set up successfully with a WiFi connection to my router / modem network (infrastructure mode). There is no error message and I can print from a variety of laptops Windows (XP, Vista and 7). I loaded the HP eprint app on my Ipad 4 but it can not detect the printer. Note that the HP site says that this printer is compatible with the App ePrint.

    A second and possibly related is that I recorded with the HP eprint service website but I can't get the code or e-mail address for my printer. I can't find any way to turn it on the Web Services on the printer? (The HP site says this should be under Setup > wireless to the printer, but it is not.) There are only options to turn on/off the wireless, testing the wireless and print the wireless network and printer settings (which are all OK > PASS or information).

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    With the update that has been done to the ePrint application, some of the old printers lost the ability to use this application to print from. The printer would not print directly from the iPad to the printer either. This is a feature called AirPrint. When you have the possibility to use AirPrint, he must place the unit on the same network as the printer, pull up a photo, press the action button on the iPad and then select print. The iPad will then give an option of the printer to print from if there is more than one printer capable of of AirPrint on the network.

    The printer cannot produce a code to register and save ePrint due to the age of the printer. Printers that have the ability of ePrint are a majority of those who have been in production in 2010 and later versions. A few Photosmarts who have the ability to use ePrint AirPrint are the 7520,6520 and the 5520. To learn more about these printers, see this link here.
