C309g wireless setup with iMac i7 / Router D-Link DIR-300

Just trying to get the wireless connection. I've just the USB-cable for the installation process evereything worked out fine. Now the test report shows that everything is OK. In mac os the printer is added to the print&fax menu status: green light.
But i cannot print / connect to the printer when I open the printer utility.
Think it's an IP problem!? The IP-Range from the router is 192.168.... now the printer got another IP address 169.254....
I do not know how to process further. DHCP-Server on/off in the router settings? Assign the printer a fixed IP within the DHCP range? Every device in my wireless network is assigned with MAC-address and IP in the settings because I wanted to make sure nobody could connect from outside. I tried to assign a free IP in the range 192.168 but that didn't work any suggestions?
Thanks

What router? What version of OS X?

Printer does accept the WEP key. any Solution, c309g wireless setup

Hi,
i have a Photosmart c309 g printer.
I have been on phone with the tech for almost 8 hrs but with no solution. The end result being, they suggested to replace the printer.
when i and also with assistance with the technician, ran the Wireless setup wizard, my network is detected. when i hit ok on it, it prompts for WEP. Then i enter it, it displays connecting and then displays "ERROR " "Invalid WEP".
Below are the other few steps i tried......... >
a> the printer was RESET , i guess it was SemiFull Reset . Then we tried running the wireless setup wizard, and it ended up with the same error "ERROR " "Invalid WEP".
b> we installed through USB to have it in wireless .... the same issue.
c> the tech asked me have the WEP key changed. I called my Router mfd and got the WEP key changed to only Numbers ( earlier it was alphanumeric ) , we then tried running the wireless setup wizard .. we got the same error message.
d> We also tried Manually adding the IP, subnet mask and default gateway .... but the ping does not work. It says 100% loss.
The tech concluded that it could be a problem with the printer wireless circuit . hence advised to replace the printer.
I am returning the printer to the stores in a day or 2days. Let me know if "returning the printer " is the right thing to do or is there anyone over here who could suggest me steps to resolve it.
Thanks !!!!!!!!

Let's try an experiment. Since I'm not sure of your exact configuration, I'd like you to try some one of the following:
If your Linksys wireless-router is also your ADSL modem -- disconnect the telephone line from the Linksys wireless-router and then power cycle the Linksys (unplug power, wait 30 seconds, plug power back in). Leave the telephone line unplugged.
-- or --
If your ADSL modem is separate from your Linksys wireless-router, disconnect the LAN cable between the ADSL modem and the Linksys wireless-router and then power cycle the Linksys (unplug power, wait 30 seconds, plug power back in). Leave the LAN cable disconnected.
Power cycle the printer. Wait 60 seconds for the wireless-router to power up completely and then run the C309g Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer's front panel (Setup -> Network -> Wireless Setup Wizard).
If the printer connected successfully, then there is one more change we need to make and that is to set a static IP address for the printer.
Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address plus an offset. For example, if the printer's IP address is currently 192.168.0.5, then use 192.168.0.30.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the wireless-router and reconnect the cable (telephone or LAN). Now turn off the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the wireless-router and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers.
Finish up by installing the SW on the computers you want to print from. One more suggestion -- do not install the HP Customer Participation Program.

Router D-Link Dir-400 and Camera WVC54GCA

I can't connect Camera to my Wi-Fi Router(D-Link Dir-400). After I influenced Camera (entered Ip-adress, mask and default gateway) it can't find my Wi-Fi network. But my notebook find it. From that we see that network is working. I even turned off defence on Wi-Fi on my router but no result.
I entered on Camera Ip-adress 192.168.1.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1(that's ip-adress my Wi-Fi Router), is it correct?

IP Address should be in the range of router's ip address. Apart from the ip address you need to match all the wireless settings of the router.Wireless Settings like SSID,Security Key and Channel should be exactly same on router and the Camera.Once you done with that,power cycle the complete network.

Airport Express with D Link DIR-300 in client mode failure.

I just want my Airport Express to join my current network from a D-Link DIR-300 wireless router in order to use airplay. I use the Airport Utility and appear to successfully set up the device. When it is waiting for the airport to restart, it times out and is unable to locate the AE unless I reset the device and start over. The AE flashes turns green, then begins to flash yellow.
What can I do to make this work. I just want to send music the AE, and be on my existing wifi.

Chances are, the Wireless Security settings on your D-Link router and the settings that you are choosing on the AirPort Express do not match up correctly. The result is that the AirPort Express cannot successfully "join" the D-Link wireless network.
To verify if this may be the issue, temporarily turn off the wireless security on the D-Link router and check to see if the AirPort Express can connect that way. If it can, then you know that you have a security setting issue between your router and the AirPort Express.
What are the available security settings on the D-Link router that you are using? We'll try to provide you with a corresponding match for the AirPort Express if you can post back that info.

Officejet Pro 8100 problem with wireless setup on iMac OS 10.10.4

I have recently changed my router and now need to reconfigure the wireless settings on my Officejet Pro 8100. I have installed the latest firmware from HP. Apple updates says that I have the latest driver for the printer. The disk that came with the printer does not work with the iMac 10.10.4. How do I update the printer to work with the new router?

Thank you "PrintDoc" for your interest.

Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

HP Deskjet 3054A Wireless setup without access to router.

Hey everyone,
I own an HP Deskjet 3054A, and I would like to be able to print wirelessly. When I go through the wireless setup, it tells me to either: 1) enter a PIN on the wireless router or 2) Use WPS (Wireless protected setup). The problem is that I don't have access to my building's router (I'm a student, afterall).
I know some HP printers have a feature where you can plug it into your computer via USB, and have it set it up for wireless; mine does not seem to have that, as when I open up the HPLIP (HP printing software for Linux--- yes, I do use Linux), and add the device, and select "Wireless/802.11 (requires a temporary USB connection and is only available for select devices)", and connect the computer to the printer, and click "Next", but it says "No wireless capable devices found". I assume that this is because the printer is not one of the aformentioned "select devices". Is there anyway of enabling this feature? I'm not afraid of loading custom firmware or writing some C code if neccessary I'm a nerd afterall!
I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.
Thanks,
Jordan

OK, this model does support an ad-hoc style wifi connection, however only for the first hour after its first power on sequence (or a reset of the network settings).
So, sorry, I think you are stuck with a USB connection.

PC cannot see wireless Airport Express using Ethernet on D-LINK DIR-655 Router

This seems to be a recurring issue going way back, but I have yet to see a real solution posted.
I am using my Airport Express (APX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay. I have APX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem. I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my APX, including two laptops and an iPhone. However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my APX. I can, however, see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address. Note that the APX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked. I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting the APX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards. They will resume detecting APX when I turn their wireless connections back on. So, bottom line, I am convinced that this is not a firewall problem. Although I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router and APX, I am convinced it is either a wireless to ethernet communication issue, or some obscure setting on APX.. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wayne

I think I found the fix based on reading some Apple TV forums where several people were having the same problem. Under Advanced Network settings in the D-Link setup, I just checked "Enable Multicast Streams" and that seemed to do the trick.

Wireless connectivity with iMac G4 flat panel

Hey everybody,
We are thinking about buying an airport card for our imac G4 flat panel. We live in Ireland and are in the process of switching from a satellite dish-based Internet provider (connected via ethernet cable from the roof through the wall to the iMac) to our cable TV providers for a less expensive connection. The cable modem will be up in the TV room (the only cable CATV point that works), where we will attach a wireless router that will allow Internet access to the iMac downstairs and the iBook anywhere else in the house. Our cable providers offer 1, 2, 3 and 6 MB download speed packages. Here are the questions:
1) Is the "Apple Part No. M7600LL/E" available on macwireless.com the right one for our flat panel iMac G4 from 2003?
2) Is there any advantage to the airport card versus using a bridge? If so, which bridge is appropriate and easy to configure?
3) Which wireless router is recommendable to link with the cable modem upstairs?
4) Will the connection be strong enough between the router and the airport card or bridge to provide full speed and, possibly, VoIP (saving dough to one day be able to upgrade to a 20-inch iMac! LOL)? The distance is about 8 meters.
5) If we later upgrade to a new iMac and give our son the flat panel will everything still plug and play?
6) Which download speed package do we need to make everything run smoothly?
7) Is it really feasible for a "layperson" to install the card themselves?
Thanks again for your help!

Forgot to say in my other post. There's no need to buy at that price ($199) and pay for shipping - there are plenty of UK/IE options for buying.
There are also alternatives like Ethernet over Mains electricity (14 or 85Mbps) which may be a better option than original Airport.

Printing on Wireless Network with iMac G4 EXTRA Page with jibberish.

Hello folks,
I hope to find an easy fix. In my wireless network environment there are 6 PCs and one iMac G4 Flat Panel (OSX 10.4.6) that share a wireless router, and 3 wireless print servers that have 4 different printers attached.
Everything works very well, except, for when the iMac prints to the Lexmark Optra S 1250 printer. The very first page printed (everytime) has one line of jiberish like this:
[%-12345X@PJL JOB @PJL LJOBINFO USERID = "username" HOSTID = "imac15.local"@JPL S
After this very first page prints, everything that follows is printed perfectly. How do I turn off whatever it is that causes this page to print? When I print to any of the other printers it doesn't occur. It does not occur when any of the PCs print to the Lexmark either.
I thank you all for your time and hope you can help.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Belkin 54g router, Linksys WPS54GU2 printservers

The question here imho is does it have to be wireless?
If the router is close to the Macs surely Ethernet would resolve any issues and provide fast performance.
If the XP machine is reliable wirelessly leave it wireless, you can always connect that using Ethernet if you want to transfer larger files to / from the Macs. This will also give you some convenience.
If things must be wireless then it'll depend on how much you want to spend. Since you'll need a new fast a or g router (avoid pre-n now, wait for something confirmed to work well with Intel Mac and others). The G4 would need a Wireless Ethernet bridge to give a fast connection since USB 1.1 is just too slow or Ethernet again.
So it depends on you realy and the location of the computers. Nothing wrong with a mixed Ethernet / Wireless network easy enough I have one
Nothing mentioned on router site about incompatibility with Mac OS 10.4.8. Once the router is configured using the web interface or software supplied you'll need to config the computers accordingly.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Trouble w/ wireless connection with iMac G3

I just got an iMac G3 (grape). Its running OS 9.2. I read on these discussions that the best way to connect it to the internet is with the Linksys WET54 ethernet adaptor which I got today. I have a Belkin router with a cable modem on my PC. I have another PC with a USB adaptor. Those all work fine. My problem is after hooking up this linksys adaptor it won't allow me to access the internet on this Mac computer. Anyone have any ideas? I thought all I had to do was connect it all via ethernet, no drivers to install, blah blah blah. And no I never did configure a home network or anything since the USB adaptor just picks up the router signal and I really don't need file sharing. Doesn't this adaptor also just pick up the router's signal or do I need to do something else?

Ok...I already did all that before I ever even posted this question.
Sorry, I couldn't find a reference to that in any of your other posts.
I read another post about the mac changing the IP address on its own and their solution was to trash the TCP/IP file from the preference folder, reboot, then re-do the settings in the TCP/IP and then they got it to work. I don't understand how to do that. If I trash the file, first of all how do you trash it and secondly how do you get back into it once it has been trashed?
Find the TCP/IP preference file in the Preferences folder inside the "System Folder". You can trash this. The file will immediately be created with default values when you reboot or access the TCP/IP control panel.
I was confused by infastructure or ad hoc choice so i chose ad hoc.
That should be set to infrastructure.
When I open the TCP/IP again it keeps giving the IP address as 169.254.4.145 when I put it in as 192.168.2.2.
You should have the TCP/IP control panel set to DHCP. If it fails to communicate with the Belkin's DHCP server you will get an address that starts with 169.
mrtotes brings up a good point. If your Belkin has an access control list (MAC address filtering) enabled you will need to add the MAC address of the wireless interface of the WET11.

Fax Setup with iMac

Is a fax modem need to fax through a telephone line from iMac? I checked profile and no fax modem. Does anyone have a suggest on the setup, i.e. Digital Voice, fax modem and etc. Thanks

Red Raider,
What Mac do you have? Your profile says iMac G5 Intel. So is it a Power PC iMac G5 or is it an Intel iMac?
Faxing requires a modem like the one you would use for a dial-up connection. I know that the iSight iMac G5s do not have an internal dial-up modem and neither do the Intel iMacs. Apple chose to not include internal modems in these machines. If you wish, you can buy an external USB modem from Apple for use with these machines.
Regards,
Steve M.

Wireless trouble with C4780 recognizing router with Mac 10.8.2

I had to reset my Time Capsule (router) due to Hurricane Sandy and my printer refuses to recognize my Network so that I can put in my new network name and password. It won't recognize anything even when I connect the printer via USB to the computer and to the router (Time Capsule). When I run those connectivity tests, it says the Network Status is offline. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is my Network offline because the printer will not connect with it or is it offline because there is an offline section on the printer or on the computer that has been inadvertently checked that keeps the printer from being recognized?

IQ506-Loose wireless contact with Belkin N1 Router, unless I have my wireless notebook sitting

next to the Touchsmart. Laptop has a SD card in it.
Was wondering if I should get a USB adapter to enhance the signal? Or if there is someway I can adjust the system. The laptop, gets a great signal strength, 5 out of 5 bars. The Touchsmart 2 or 3 out of 5.
Thanks for suggestions.
Mark

Have you updated the wireless card drivers?? HP has had many internally wired USB WLAN adapters show very weak signal due to a driver issue. They have corrected these issues in most driver updates. Make sure HP Update shows you are up to date. I'm not sure which adapter the IQ506 uses, but this should be the first step. If the driver is up to date, and you are still having signal issues, try changing the router's channel. 2,4 or 8 are usually best. Some cards fend off WLAN interference better than others, so make sure you are on a clean channel.
