Can't find my network scanner thru my D-Link router
I replaced my D-Link "g" router with a D-Link DIR-615 "n" router. My Mac is cabled to the router, as is my HP Photosmart 3210xi All-In-One. At the outset, my Mac couldn't find the printer at all. I fixed that by "re-adding" it to the printer list in System Preferences.
I use Image Capture to grab and use the scanner function in the HP. However, now it thinks it's found the HP, but can't rouse it. I'm pretty sure that it is not looking at the "new" device that I put in the printer list.
Any thoughts, please?
Thanks for the advise. I may give HP a call, as a last choice. Biggest reason to delay is that I've found their techs not too helpful- more inclined, than not, to point at the other guy. Still---.
Thanks , again.

Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.
I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Yes the laptop is wireless.
The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
So, desktop connected to router with cable.
Laptop is wireless
Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there. -
My iphone 4 can't find a network
I bought my iphone 4 in Ny and brought to Brazil. It was working fine till last Friday. It can't find a network anymore. It says on the upper left corner "no service" instead of showing the carrier name and its signal. I tried to contact my carrier but it seems to be everything fine, I even tried de microchip on my Ipad and it worked perfectly, so it should be a proclem with the phone.
I tried to reset the device, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone could help me on this, please!!!
(excuse my lousy english, please!)1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't work, use this article for troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
3. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
If you restore your iPhone to factory settings without a backup and still can't detect/connect to any network, you should offer the device for service.
Good luck

I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi. The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks. I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help. They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition. They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone. This is extremely annoying! They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!
My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help?
My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help? I have reset my time capsule and have all the latest updates. My iPhone and ipad do not show airplay even though I have it turned on in Apple TV.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device. -
Iphone 4s can't find cellular network in Detroit airport. iPad logged right on. Tried reset network and hard boot and airplane off on. No luck. Any ideas?
So, I can see that nobody had any ideas. In case anyone is interested, I did cave and get an Airport Extreme. My iPhone 4s connected in about 3 seconds, as did my MacBook, my iMac and my old 3G phone. The router is in the EXACT SAME SPOT as my Netgear router. No reception problems, no dropping wifi.
The Sony Blu-Ray connected on the second attempt, but the TiVos are another story. Reset my N-adapters to factory default and then did setup, found the network just fine assured me that my wifi was configured to the new router, but the TiVos refuse to connect. It's always something! lol I'm sure somebody can tell me how to fix this. -
Apple TV can't find the network
I have had my Apple TV for 8mths. At first it connected to my wi-fi router without any issues. Then, sometimes it couldn't find the network - I would unplug the power for a while, plug it back in and it would work. Now it can't find it no matter what I do. All other devices and printers connect without any issues. I have tried everything on the support pages - restarting it, resetting it to factory settings, moving it to another location in case of interference (I have put it in the exact place where our XBox was and that connected without any issues). I have tried selecting "Other" on the network set up screen and typing in my network manually, it still can't find it. I have a Telstra Bigpond router.
I would check if there is a firmware update for the router
Used to have to turn off my router a lot updated the firmware and it got much better -
Since I updated to my new 1TB Time Capsule, my HP printer can't find my network
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600. I had no trouble connecting it to my network on my old Time Capsule. Since updating to my new 1TB Time Capsule, my printer can't find my network.
Any ideas on what's the problem here?? Sure would like to be able to print off my iPad like I used to be able to do...
Thanks in advance...cherylI am a bit confused.. the new TC is 2TB or 3TB disk .. there is no 1TB model sold..
If your printer is setup by wireless you will need to redo the setup from scratch.
I am not sure how you are running it.. but if you are using airprint from ipad then it has to be wireless. Then I strongly recommend you redo the setup of the TC to have short wireless name.. eg TCwifi and then setup the printer via WPS in the airport utility. -
Upgraded as prompted, noiw it can't find my network
I was prompted to upgrade airport express software, but after I did ("successful" it said) it searches but can't find my network. I ran airport utility and it found no problems.
Apple have messed up big with teh latest updates to a lot of things they have been forcing upon you. Itunes 10.2 destroyed Airtunes, and something Apple did has caused my network, which has been like a rock for 6 years working flawlessly, to act so erratically that I just don't care anymore. I now have AEX devices flashing yellow and not seen on Airport utility, yet I can play music through airtunes on them. I have an Airport extreme connected to the cable modem to use as a wireless router that will disappear from the utility, yet my internet connection over wireless is unaffected.
It is so FUBAR'd right now I have stopped caring, and will have to wait for Apple to fix all the problems they created with these new updates they are rolling out for purposes I don't really understand.
It is a system that once worked flawlessly as advertised, to something that I don't even try to use anymore. It's frustrating, but what can you do. I just try to complain to Apple enough until I feel I have been heard. I keep my fingers crossed with each update to fix the problems that obviously exist, and each time the updates make the system even worse. -

HP Officejet 6100 (h611a) ePrinter can't find wirless network
My HP Officejet 6100 ePrinter recently lost it's eprint connection and wouldn't reconnect. I asked for help and was told to
try using a manual IP address. I tried this using the instructions supplied to me for the manual IP address, Subnet mask, and so on. I then selected apply.
The printer rebooted and now the printer can't find or won't connect to my
wireless network.
I've tried powering down the printer, modem and router so that they would reset, but the printer still wouldn't find or connect to the wireless network. The little blue light on the printer for the wireless connection just continues to blink.
Since it won't connect to the wireless network i can't go back into the embedded web server to undo the manual IP address and other changes.
Is there any way I can reset this? Or get my printer to connect to the wireless network.
