Asus laptop will no longer connect wirelessly to HP printer

My Asus laptop was connected to my HP PhotoSmart 7420 printer, wirelessly with no issues. In the last month, I upgraded my Comcast internet service to the fastest speed Comcast has available. In addition, I replaced my router ( Linksys Model: WRT1900AC) & range extender (NetGear Universal Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, 4-port Wi-Fi Adapter). Every WiFi related item in my home works much better with the exception of the printer. On my laptop, I removed the HP printer and asked the laptop to search for it to re-install; the laptop indicates "no printers available"? Even my desktop PC sends error messages indicating that the "scan to computer" feature no longer works when, in fact, it does work?
Help!

Hi @TSimo,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I wasn't able to find much on a Photosmart 7420, did you perhaps mean Photosmart 7520?
If that is correct, this may just be a case of needing to reconnect the printer to the wireless network again due to the upgraded router and extender
To do this, please restore the network defaults on the printer (press the wrench on the printer's touch screen, select Wireless, then select Restore Network Defaults, should be the last option) and once that completes go back to the same Wireless menu on the printer and run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer. This will update the connection on the printer itself.
After this completes you will need to remove the driver and re-add it on the computer. How this is done depends on the operating system, so if you're not sure how to remove the driver and re-add it, please let me know which operating system you use and I will get you some instructions
Hope to hear from you soon!

Mobile account on laptop will no longer connect for one user

I have a set of laptops with user accounts set up on them as mobile accounts. This morning one user stuck in his username and password, and the login panel went away and the "purple stars" came up, but it hung there and didn't continue and log him in. After about 5 minutes he got tired of waiting and hit the power button on the laptop. When it rebooted, the usual login panel offering his name, the local administrator account and "other" was missing his name -- just the admin account and "Other". Then he came to find me...
If I go to "Other..." and ldap is green light, and put in his username and password, it shakes it's head like he doesn't exist. I've tried all of the usual tricks back on the Open Directory server -- turn his account off and back on, change the password save change it back, etc. I have compared the setup with several other users who work just fine, and I can't see anything different. I have even logged in with my account (which is not set up for mobility) and it takes the username and password and refuses after a certain point in the login. When I log in with other mobile accounts, it logs in and gets as far as offering to create a local directory (which I cancel out of.) So it's just this one user's account.
When I log in to the local admin account and run system prefs and go to accounts, his account is there and shown as type "mobile". His directory is there, and an 'ls -l' on it shows that he owns it. I've run the directory utility, and everything looks great -- and I can log on via ldap with the other accounts. If I break ldap connectivity by turning off the airport and unplugging the ethernet cable, the light goes red and then the only option on the login panel is the local admin account, not the lodmin plus his account in local mode.
Anybody know what's broken? Evidently the mobile accounts don't like to be powered off in the middle of a login! Anybody know if there is some lock file somewhere that I needs to be deleted?

ITunes 10.5.1 will no longer connect wirelessly to ios devices.

I did not have a problem connecting wirelessly when I had 10.5 but after upgrading to 10.5.1 the only way for itunes to see my ios devices is to connect via usb.
I am running windows 7 and have tried rebooting with no luck. I do have sync with this iPhone and iPad over Wi-Fi checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!

exactly the same thing has happened to me

We downloaded maverick - have 2 Mac desktops in 2 different rooms that no longer connect wirelessly to the printer. It says it can't find the server.

Can't figure out how to update Airport utility. All of the sudden our printer isn't connected.

Is this printer connected to the USB port of an AirPort base station? If so, what is the exact model of the base station and the make & model of the printer?

Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

Hello all,
My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline. I would remove the device through the control panel and search again. A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device. I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work. This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
Now nothing is working. The printer can't be found by my network. I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
Although the printer has a built in network set up option, it has no installation wizard. I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon. There is no I.P. address either.
I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana! I appreciate your help.

Hey @Kathlanta ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

Hi,
When Zeen's battery level goes below 5 %; it tends to Reset to Default where it looses all the connections and sync to the printer or router.
So its very important to make sure that Zeen's battery does not go to low. To avoid this I would suggest to charge Zeen regularly.
You may try the steps below as of now and check the results.
We need to Factory Reset the Zeen making sure it is connected (Docked) on the C510a printer.
Once it is docked try the steps below:-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02844556&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
Open the above link; and then perform the Factory Reset as shown in Solution Two.
Once completed try connecting to Wireless and check the results.
though I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.
Jason.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

TS1398 ipod will no longer connect to wireless

My ipod will no longer connect you ATT wireless. It did before and my iPhone and iPad still connect jut fine. Any ideas why?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7. Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud. Worked last night but same problem today. It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car. Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well. Any ideas?

Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

Since updating my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet

since i've updated my software on my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet. my husbands iphone will not connect either. my laptop connects immediately and my internet signal is full strength. is there something we are missing?

Hello dchoffa,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.
Regards,
Sterling

Satellite A205: Bluetooth USB dongle will no longer connect to AirCable

I plugged a generic Bluetooth USB dongle into my Satellite A205 and used it for several hours over three days to connect to an AirCable Serial Bluetooth to run my telescope controller. The generic dongle worked after downloading a Toshiba stack.
Each time I restarted the Bluetooth it incremented the COM port numbers.
My telescope controller will not recognize COMs above 20 so I deleted COMs that really were not used.
The Bluetooth USB dongle will no longer connect to the AirCable Serial Bluetooth. *It worked before and will not work today.*
I've tried three different Bluetooth USB dongles including TrendNet, AirCable and the generic.
I cannot connect to the telescope controller's AirCable Serial Bluetooth with any of the dongles.
_*Can anyone suggest a Bluetooth monitor that will work, or suggest a way to get my A205 to work with one of my Bluetooth USB dongles?*_
Don

I have Vista. I did not download SP1. It did not appear in the Update Manager. My laptop is about 3 months old so I did not want to download the 400+ MB SP1 to a fairly new version of Vista Home Premium.
Here are steps that did work for me. This process is tedious but it worked three times in a row with no failures after scores of failed connection attempts.
*_Getting Bluetooth to Work With Vista and Generic Bluetooth Dongle_*
1. Power up Bluetooth serial (AirCable).
2. Start laptop with Vista Home Premium and wait 2 minutes.
3. Plug in the generic Bluetooth dongle.
4. Click tray Bluetooth icon to show Bluetooth devices.
5. Select and remove the existing device.
6. Unplug and plug in the generic Bluetooth dongle. My Bluetooth COM Port is 6-Outgoing Serial, and 7-Incoming
7. Add a new connection for the Bluetooth serial.
8. Start; Control Panel; Device Manager
9. If COM ports with a higher number than your selected ports (mine are COM 6 and COM 7) exist, do the following:
- Right-click the port number that is the Output port (Click the Bluetooth icon in the tray to determine which COM number is output and which is input).
- Let's say for my example that Device Manager Ports shows COM 11 and COM 12, and that COM 11 is output.
- Right-click COM 11 and select Properties
- Click the Port Settings tab and the Advanced button
- Click the Com Port number dropdown list and reassign it to COM 6 (the desired Outgoing COM port).
- Click OK a couple of times.
- Now, right-click COM 12 (input), Properties, Port Settings tab, and Advanced button.
- Reassign COM 12 to COM 10 (OK...), reassign to COM 9 (OK...), reassign to COM 8 (OK...), reassign to COM 7 (OK...). (You are clearing out unused COM ports 10, 9, and 8.)
- Click OK a couple of times.
- Click the tray Bluetooth icon and remove the existing device.
- Pull the Bluetooth USB dongle out of the computer and reinsert it.
- Click the tray Bluetooth icon, search for and add your Bluetooth serial device.
At this point your remote Bluetooth device should have a good connection.
+++++++++++++
Thank you everyone for your input. It is too bad that it is so difficult to use a Bluetooth dongle with Vista but such is life.
