C4380 connecting to N router using WPA2

I am having issues connecting wirelessly and need to find the software online here to do so. However, I have been reading that to use this printer wirelesly, you need to use WPA not WPA2 which is the preferd mode to get the best Speed.  Is this true as far as you know

I have never heard of any speed difference between WPA & WPA2.
I do know that your printer requires the presence of 802.11g, so make sure that is enabled on your router.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

  • Why can't apple TV "see" my PC that's connected to the router using a Powerline connection

    OK. Apple TV can see my partners lap Top that's connected to our router wirelessly. Logs onto iTunes and will play his content.
    BUT... Apple TV can't see my PC that connects to the same Router via a Powerline link to the router. Surly it should see it as if the PC was connected using an Ethernet cable>

    Yes, it should, I use just that kind of setup.
    Could be a router configurtion issue.
    How is AppleTV connecting wired or wireless? Some routers can isolate wired LAN from wireless Lan which you wouldn't want.

  • [SOLVED] Unstable connection with wireless router using rt73

    I'm using the rt2x00 wireless driver for my rt73 based dongle and I'm on the latest (stock) kernel 2.6.31-6.
    On startup my wireless connection behaves normal. Here's the output of iwconfig :
    wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"dlink"
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:F0:C5:C7:0B
    Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
    Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
    Power Management:on
    Link Quality=44/70 Signal level=-66 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
    Now after some time (15 minutes, half an hour, an hour or sometimes even after 5 minutes) my connection between the dongle and my wireless router gets lost and it sometimes reconnects automatically, sometimes not. In my browser I frequently get an error that my connection is lost. However, if I 'reload' the web page after that I almost instantly get the demanded page. Another option is to restart my wireless network using '/etc/rc.d/net-profiles restart'.
    Here's an output of pinging my wireless router that describes the above behavior :
    chris@megatron ~]$ ping -v 192.168.0.1

    dmesg does not output anything special about my rt73.
    What's happening ? Is there any way I can get more verbose output for my problem ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I think I solved the problem.
    I did two things :
    1) switch from wpa to wpa2 (made new netcfg profile); I do not know if that helps much but I changed it since my router (a DLINK 635 wireless N) advises to so since this augments performance compared to a configuration that needs to support both wpa and wpa2.
    2) rebooted my rooter the moment I encountered the connection problem. The router is configured to automatically switch the best channel available. It switched from channel 1 to 7. Apparently there was interference on channel 1 (probably because of wireless network of one of my neighbors ...).
    For some strange reason the combination of these two make my network stable now. I'll cross my fingers and hope this does not happen again anymore...

  • My laptop is using Windows 8.1 and it can't connect to a WiFi using WPA2/Enterprise authenticate

    I am using a laptop Dell Inspiron 15z with Windows 8.1 64 Bit OS.  And i build a test lab to test WPA2/Enterprise authenticate.
    My Lab is like that:
    1/ My DC + DNS using Windows 2012 RC2 Standard.
    2/ I install CA + Radius Server on DC Server.
    3/ My AP WiFi is DrayTek AP810
    After configed i can you use my iphone 5s (ios 8.1), my android phone (Samsung Galaxy), 1 laptop Windows 7, 1 laptop Windows 8 to test. And all of them can connected with no problem.
    But my laptop using Windows 8.1 64 bit OS can't connected. After i choise the WiFi, it only show "checking network requirement"- not show the option question username and password. (and i config it exactly like laptop Windows 8).
    I have tried find the answer on Google but nothing help me. (i have choise PEAP, install Certificate...)
    Please help me guys. Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    About this issue, we could troubleshoot as the following methods on the Windows 8.1 client side.
    1. Maker sure the "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password" setting on the client is disabled and on your client and type in the correct domain name when prompted.
    2. If the issuer persists, delete this network profile in your Windows 8.1 client with commands and manually configure it as

  • Cisco Network Assistant Will Not Connect to 3825 Router Using http

    Trying to use the CNA to connect to my 3825 router, in preparation for 2960x switches we are going to purchase. I cannot connect using http - read/write. It seems as though the username and password fail. I can however, connect Read – only Level 1, and the username and password work fine and I am logged in. Is there something I can check in the Router configuration for the Network Assistant to work?

    Hi,Make sure all the software updates and the recent EFI update are installed. Wi-Fi problems seem to be an unfortunately frequent event for 10.5.x users. In my case, I finally started having stable Wi-Fi as of 10.4.11. Despite coolness features and time capsule feature of 10.5 I'm sticking with 10.4.11 until Wi-Fi stabilizes for 10.5. Having Wi-Fi actually work trumps the additional eye candy of the 10.5 user interface.
    Apologies for the non-answer. As you noted, it would appear down-grading to 10.4.11 is in effect the solution.

  • IPod Touch 5 can't connect wifi only using WPA2

    My daughter has an iPod Touch 5th generation that one day stopped connecting at home to Wifi using WPA2. I use an Actiontec MI424WR Rev I and while her iPod Touch keeps showing the error "incorrect password" I use on the same network with no issues 2 ASUS laptops, 1 Samsung laptop, 1 Dell laptop, 1 iPad 4th gen, 1 iPhone5, 1 iPhone 5c, 1 ipod touch 3, and 1 Android tablet. The most frustrating thing is that at school and other places where no password is needed she can connect. I've tried to use specific channels on the router, as opposed to automatically assigning one, with the same results. The other devices work, while I keep getting the same error for her.
    Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device 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 your router

  • Can I use the Airport Time Capsule Wirelessly without being connected to my router/mac by ethernet?

    Hey
    I've recently bought a 3TB Airport Time Capsule, with the sole intention of being able to perform wireless backups.
    Is it possible to perform these wireless backups without being connected by ethernet to my modem/existing router?  I don't want to use the time capsule as a replacement for my existing router (at this stage) - just for wireless backups of my Macs.
    If this is not possible, or practicable, are there other alternatives that I should explore? (non-cloud)
    Thanks in advance
    Steven
    PS
    Boring background:
    I'm in a rental property with a woefully inadequate number of plugs in practical places. In addition there is only one phone socket. The result being insufficient safe space to have the existing router, and the Airport TC along with the existing electrical items.

    Unfortunately, Apple designed the Time Capsule to connect to a modem or modem/router using an Ethernet connection.
    If you do this, you do have the option of turning off the wireless on the Time Capsule and using your existing wireless for backups. Backups will be automatic this way, in the background. The Time Capsule could be located anywhere an Ethernet cable will reach.....up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters.
    The other option.....not recommended and not convenient at all.....is to set up the Time Capsule......without an Ethernet connection and then have the Time Capsule provide a wireless network that would not have Internet access.
    So, when you wanted to back up, you would have to manually "switch" to the Time Capsule network for that process, then once the backup was done, manually "switch" back again to your normal wireless network for normal operations.  A real mess, not to mention the possibility of wireless interference between the networks that may create other issues.

  • GRE tunnel could not be used by the hosts connected to the router

    Hi,
    I am using cisco ASR1013 (RP2) and a Mikrotik Router for setting up a GRE tunnel for LAN to LAN routing over a broadband link. The tunnel works fine (able to ping tunnel end points and also all the connected interfaces on both the Mikrotik and Cisco ASR) but the hosts that are connected directly to the Cisco router interface over a layer 2 cisco switch are unable to connect (ping) the hosts or connected interfaces on the mikrotik side.

    Original Title: TKIP selection in WiFi network settings
    I have a workplace WiFi connection using WPA2 PSK authentication and encryption type TKIP.
    On the machine I used to test Windows 10, I had a previous installation of Windows 7 professional which connected to my workplace WiFi using the above settings. After installing Windows 10, my workplace wifi settings were imported and worked fine.
    Windows 10 had a system crash, and since I had deleted my previous windows installation, I performed a complete reinstall of Windows 7. However, when I went to install Windows 10 again, I had not taken the time to set up my workplace Wifi on Windows
    7 before installing Windows 10. As a result, I had to set up my workplace wifi as a new connection in Windows 10.
    When going to set up the wifi connection, the encryption type was grayed out, but appeared to default to AES. Searching the internet suggested that Windows 8.1 did not need a encryption type selected, because Windows could automatically determine
    if it was TKIP or AES, hence why the option to select encryption type was grayed out. However, after completing the setup of my workplace wifi, Windows 10 could not connect to my workplace wifi. After restoring Windows 7 with a factory reset, and setting up
    the workplace wifi (the encryption type selection was not grayed out and I manually selected TKIP encryption), my workplace wifi was working again.

  • I just purchased a hp laser jet printer m1217 with AirPrint, i am unable to get it to connect to my time capsule wirelessly, i am currently using WPA2 personal any suggests

    I Just puchased a HP laserjet printer M1217, i am trying to print wirelessly , the printer doesnot recognise my network, i am using a apple timemachine using WPA2 personal, anyone have any ideas

    Don't know if you ever figured this out but here is the answer...
    I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
    First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
    Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
    Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
    With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
    This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
    Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • Lost connection to other computers using 'LinkSys' router

    DSL modem is connected to my Linksys wireless router. I have two other computers connected using an Ethernet cable (coming from the router). Yesterday my internet (SBC-Yahoo DSL) was down for the entire day. In the past both computers connected to the router would work just fine. In fact the laptop would work either connected via the Ethernet cable or with a wireless connection. Today neither of the computers connected to the router will connect. I have not changed any of the settings on either computer. Have reset the DSL modem (turned off and back on) and have reset the router (reset button). Any suggestions on this problem?

    Can you connect to the router?
    Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1
    Verify the configuration options.
    Also make note of the firmware version.
    Then, for the moment, bypass the router and direct connect to the modem. Can you connect to internet then?
    If so, check the Linksys web site to see if there is a firmware update for your router.
    On my (wired) Linksys, after one of the OS updates (I forget which one) I could no longer get to internet until I updated the firmware on the router.
    Since there has been an OS security update in the last week, and if you downloaded/installed it, then your problem began, its possible that is the problem.
