C4580 Photosmart wireless with HP dv7 notebook and no router....

Hi,
I purchased a Photosmart c4580 for the wireless capabilities because we are on the road alot, but I can't seem to set it up.
I have a Verizon broadband Pantech usb connection for internet and I guess it doesn't recognize that.
How would I go about setting this up with my HP dv7 notebook with Vista 64 without a router?
I use the Norton Internet security. Don't know what the heck I'm doing
Thanks for the help(:
This question was solved.

When you first turn on the printer's Wi-Fi radio (press the Wi-Fi button on the printer's front panel and then select Enable Wireless), the printer will be in Ad-Hoc wireless network mode that should allow your notebook to connect directly.
Note that you may have to restore the printer's network configuration if you've had the printer connected to a network before.
From your notebook, you should be able to scan and connect to a wireless network called "hpsetup". When you connect, it may take several minutes for the notebook to recognize the printer but when it does, you should be able to install the SW to print directly to the printer wirelessly.

Voice over Wireless with Cisco phones 7921 and 7925

Hello experts,
I made an wireless audit for a company.
They have 2 WLCs 5508 in HA mode, with APs 2602 for indoor and 1552. Version of the WLC : 7.6.120.0
At the end of the day we noticed that the roaming between indoor and outdoor access points is sometimes failing and results to a complete disconnection of the wireless phone (7921 or 7925) from the network. When people go from the indoor to the outdoor area, there is no problem. The problem comes when people are coming from the outdoor to the indoor.
Also, on the WLC, the power lvl of the outdoor APs are set to 1 ... Is it good or not ?
My question is, is there any known issue about Voice over wireless with WLC 5508-7.6.120.0 with APs 2602 and 1552 ?
Maybe it should be better to upgrade to 7.6.130.0 ?
Thanks in advance,
Alexis

Normally yes.
Is there a way to troubleshoot what's going on with the phones ? Maybe a "show client detail MAC address* on the WLC ?
Here are some logs when the phones are losing the network :

Time Capsule with Dt. Telekom Entertain and Speedport Router

Hi
I have read quite a number of posts in various internet sources that using Apple Time Capsule with VDSL requires a specific setup, and possibly also additional hardware able to translate the VDSL specific channels in order to be able to use Dt Telekom Entertain (VOD and TV streaming).
My current setup is as follows (I have not tried any possible connections with the Time Capsule and the macbook pro as of yet, as I want to avoid frustration and spending lengthy time in sorting out options by trial and error):
Internet Provider: Dt. Telekom
Package: Entertain Premium IP with VDSL 50 and VOIP telephony
Router: Speedport W722V
Media Receiver: Entertain MR303
Currently the router is directly connecting (cable) to the landline (fibre) via a splitter
The MR303 is cable-connected (LAN/Ethernet), and I plan to maintain this cable connection, so no need for wifi'ing this connection
A variety of device is wirelessly connected to the router, such as game console, two iphones, two ipads, a TV, two windows laptops (which are soon to be thrown out, as we are swithcing from PC to macbook)
Thus far all good, my question(s):
Can anyone advise on the best possible options to setup my new TimeCapsule (latest model) as router, thus degrading the speedport router to a mere modem, and with best possible I am particularly interested in:
* Entertain (VOD and streaming) to work as smoothly as today (ie. no streaming lapses, outages etc)
* VOIP to still run as smoothly as today
* leveraging the benefit of WLAN speed and capability of the Time Capsule for all wirelessly connected devices
cheers
Joe

is this easy enough to do - ie. a find- and clickable option upon setup?
As regards roaming - where would I need to configure this? as far as I am aware I have not seen this option in my speedport, nor the network connections on my PC type notebooks.
Bridge is best done manually.. if you use the v6 utility it has ability to automatically setup what it thinks is the best configuration but in reality is often not.. ie it will tend to not use bridge. So you simply click edit in the airport utility and go to the network tab. Bridge is a single option.
Once configured in bridge the TC will do all the necessary changes. eg WAN port is transferred to LAN.. to make it as effective as possible in that mode. You set the wireless tab to still create a wireless network.
Roaming is purely a setup which you do yourself.
See the doco. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
It doesn't matter that you are not using two Apple routers.
It is simple setup... trivial even.
Set the wireless name in the TC to the same as the existing router's SSID
Set the security to the same level.. that should always be WPA2 AES now which apple calls WPA2 Personal.
Same password.
It is good but not required to separate the two devices by a couple of meters. Even using the TC in another room connected back by ethernet would be excellent.. but not at all required. Both devices having wireless for 2.4ghz set to auto is not the best.. I would manually set at least one..
The AC works only on 5ghz and is not going to be affected by the speedport at all.
Why do you want the TC as router??
Soimply put: Because I understood it could act as one? And it promised at first sight to provide a more powerful WLAN connectivity as opposed to my current speedport, which runs n standard but not ac standard
thx
The WLAN power is unaffected by using the TC in bridge or router mode.
You have multiple options.. as mentioned .. roaming is only one.. you can simply turn the wireless off on the speedport. Wireless is still active on the TC in bridge mode.
BUT you do lose one function.. that is guest wireless.. when you bridge the TC. If you would like to still have a guest wireless you can do that by using the speedport wireless with a different name to the TC.. ie you have exactly the same setup as guest wireless.. only instead of using a single wireless router you have two which is far superior.
Anything that doesn't make sense.. it is probably easier to figure out after Christmas and you can play with the real world device.. post again if you have issues and we are happy to offer solutions.
Merry Christmas.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WiFi Card

I've got a dv7tqe (Quad Edition HP Pavilion dv7), part #XW397AV, notebook computer. On page 8 of the manual, it says that the
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wifi card is compatible with this laptop. However, upon further research online from many sources, including suppliers, it appears that this wifi card is not compatible due to HP's whitelist in the BIOS.
I'd like to know from an HP representative whether this card is truly compatible (it's not listed on PartSurfer for this laptop).
I'd also like to know why HP feels the need for a whitelist for wifi cards. Is it to force your customers to pay your exhorbitant markups for replacement parts?
I'd really like the answers to these questions. If it's not compatible, then it shouldn't be listed in the manual.
I'm also posting this as a warning to potential future HP customers that these types of inconsistencies as well as gouging their customers for replacement parts is commonplace for HP products.

Hi:
This is a consumer to consumer forum.
You will not receive any answers to your questions from anyone speaking on behalf of the company (HP).
It is more complicated than the wireless cards having to be listed in the service manual as supported.
1. They must also have the HP part # on them, or they will not work.
2. There are a few cards listed in the service manuals that have the wrong part numbers, and no one knows the right part number.
So, when you think you have the right part number, you sometimes get the wrong card which may or may not work. It just so happens that the Intel 6230 is one of those cards which no one can seem to find the right part # for.
Therefore, changing a wireless card in any HP notebook--especially a consumer model like yours is nothing short of a nightmare.
3. No one has an answer for the whitelist issue. If you want to believe that it is to force customers to pay exorbitant markups for replacement parts, that is certainly your prerogative.
If you don't want to pay HP's prices, do what I do and go on eBay and query your search by the HP part number and get a used but tested and working wireless card for pennies on the dollar.

E1200 - only 54 mbps Wi-FI with 801.11n notebook and slow download

Hi all,
I have got the E1200 router and Asus X54H notebook (Win XP SP3, 2.30 Ghz, 3 MB RAM).
I have configured the router properly, created the Wifi network, and when I put the cursor on the wifi network sign I see only 54 Mpbs signal. The router is located RIGHT NEAR the notebook.
Moreover, when I download from torrents with about 40-50 seeds, I get only 700-900 kbps download.
With my old 54 mbps b/g router and notebook I had about 2 mpbs download speed.
For Your info. I plugged the cable from router LAN port to notebook (cable connection) and did the Speedtest.net.
Here are the results:
donwload speed : 46.84 mpbs
upload speed: 26.81 mpbs
The link: LINK
So You see my cable channel is ok.
Please help! I will appreciate very much!

Make sure your wireless encryption is WPA2-AES for speeds over 54Mbps.

What ram is compatible with a dv7 notebook

This question was solved.
View Solution.

You cannot upgrade the graphics card on your notebook without completely exchanging the motherboard.
Then you're better off buying a new notebook before you do that.
CAD works better with better video adapters with discrete memory, and certainly that is more important than more physical memory, but what I'm saying is that if you have 25-35 % of your memory being used at idle then check it with the cad program running.
If when that program is running, and you are at 75% of your memory being used, I certainly think more memory is the way to go.
Like I said, buy one 4 GB chip. If you think it makes a difference, buy another.
I'm not going to sit here and 100% guarantee you that more memory will make your PC respond soooooo much better that you can't believe it.
I'm saying it will certainly improve performance to some degree.
I have never heard anyone say that installing more memory does absolutely nothing with regard to improving performance, let's put it that way.

Overheating problem with Pavilion dv7-1464nr and some other problems

My laptop has always been very hot on bottom left upper side and blows hot air out the back, it has blistered my leg twice. I even use a dual cooling fan pad. I have had the power supply replaced through warranty once and the second one has already burned up too. I purchased one at Wal-Mart that cost me over $100, was on vacation and I need laptop for Garmin GPS, I even purchased a 1000 watt converter hardwired to a diesel truck for better performance, power supply is still hot but working. Laptop is now overheating to the point of shutting down and the fan has always run at highest speed which is very loud and annoying. I only have 20 days left on warranty, suggestions.
I also have trouble with the top touch control bar on keyboard not working, sometimes it does sometimes not and the left key on mouse has never worked right, usually have to click it two or three time for it to work. Also have one USB port that broke, when I unplugged a USB cord the part that it insert into came out with it in the cord. I have had to tape my battery so it will stay in, I think the Iocking switch has a broken piece, had it 3 months when this happened but decided to wait to see if anything else went wrong!!
Does HP have a replacement for lemon laptop??? Please help

Teegarden10
OMG......this could have been my post right down to the burned body part (my belly). I also bought the cooling pad and new power supply. My laptop also shuts down all the time. My solution to the left click problem was to run every virus removal I could and that helped with the key problem. If you hear of any solutions please let me know [Personal Information Removed]

Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
Problem was briefly
Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Lync Enterprise with Single BE Server and Voice Routing

Hi team,
I read that the best way for a HA topology is to go ahead with 3 FE server pool(Although MS has said it's workable, many recommend not to). Now this leaves me with another problem, can I go ahead with just 1 SQL Back-End server. I know in this case SQL will
have no failover. But if we ok with the downtime, will it work properly when the BE is up?
The front-end includes the following:
Basic Lync functions
Mediation
Monitoring
Archiving
Thank you.
Chris!

Hi Crypto_J,
After the Back End Server is up, you could verify if the services of Lync Servers are normally started, and take a test.
For more details about restoring the Back End Server, please click on the link below.

To ensure high availability for your Back End Servers, you can use either synchronous SQL mirroring or SQL clustering.
Using one of these solutions optional, but is recommended to maintain your organization's business continuity.

Hp c4280 photo-smart added to new hp pavilion dv7 notebook. printing custom sized paper won't center

I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv7 notebook and added my HP C4280 printer. It prints normal things fine, but when I try to print with custom size paper (for instance, 5" by 10" notecards) and want my information centered in the middle of the page, the alignment prints it in the middle of an 8.5" by 11," way off center. I've read help on word and hp and can't find an answer. The only difference is an updated version of word.
I did download the patch and had no luck with that. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi - It definitely sounds like the SW or printer driver isn't recognizing the paper size. First thing I would do is make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver and in Word match. For the printer driver, go into File, Print and you should see an option for Printing Options or Printing Properties. Click there and verify that you've got the paper size set correctly. In Word (not sure which version you're using) 2010, go into Page Layout and choose Size to make sure it matches the printer driver. Try printing again.
I'm assuming you're using the printer driver that came with the printer? If not, you can download the latest Win7 driver from here. Once downloaded, install it and follow the steps above.
Hope that helps.

Sharing internet with a Dell notebook

Greetings all,
I connect my Mac Pro through the ethernet port into the cable modem. My significant other has, unfortunately, a Dell notebook, and would also like to use the internet.
We recently received a Linksys Wireless-G Access Point as a gift, and I am trying to figure out how to make all this work.
What options do I have? Going wireless with the Mac Pro and have an airport card installed - would this even work with third party wireless router, such as the one above?
Bying another router, such as Linksys Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch, and use that as a bridge?
Forgive my ignorance, this is not my strong side.
Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
H.

My Mac Pro shares its internet connection with a Dell notebook over wire and an iPhone over WiFi. I can't quite remember the configuration for Tiger but I think it required a tiny bit more effort than with Leopard. I'm sure you could find the Tiger help page here. The Leopard setup is very easy.

New hp dv7 notebook--- spacebar key will only work if i tap it in the center.

Hello,
i purchased a new hp dv7 notebook and the spacebar key will only work if i tap it in the center. This seems to be a hardware problem, either in the design of the keyboard itself or maybe on the way it was put together. Can anyone offer an explanation or a solution to this,which does not involve sending the machine back for a warranty replacement?
This is extremely annoying since it isnt possible to type without missing spaces or unless you type with a single finger.
THanks !

I have a DV7T-4100 CTO and have the same probem. I just got off of the phone with HP support and they explained that they have to reset the bios and restore the software to the delivery configuration before they can look into the possibility that it is a hardware issue. As this would envolve me spending serveral hours restoring my system to the current configuration I was wondering if anyone has had this problem fixed, and if so, was is in the software, frimware or hardware. I am betting is in the hardware and wiping the computer clean is an unnecessary step. This is a business computer and I do not want to spend any unnecessary time rebuilding the software if it is unnecessary.
