Epson WF-3530 wireless connection problem

When I try to connect wirelessly by using the epson software it reports :" The network channel assigned to your Wi-Fi network is not supported by the printer. This may disable your printer's Wi-Fi connection." as soon as the epson program runs. The printer is connecting to my network ( using timecapsule as a  router ) without any problems

I have had this issue specially after the printer goes idle  and have had to resetup the wifi everytime which is a PIA.  I just did it a different way then the directions to have my mac point to the specific network IP address and things worked great now!
If your issue is that when you go to print... the mac isnt finding the printer... try this:
1. Go to your printer and click on the wifi setup menu on the touch screen (assuming you have already setup your printer to connect to your wifi router)
2. scroll down and click on wifi\network status
3. scroll down and not the IP address
4. Go to your Mac > System Preferences > Print & Scan
5. Click the "-" to remove the current printer setup you have for the Epson (this should delete the profile from your list of printers)
6. click the "+" to add a new printer
7. On the popup window... the top icon menus are Default, Fax, IP, Windows... click on the IP menu tab
8. enter the IP address you noted from your printer in the adress field (ex. 10.0.0.12)
9. Your mac will automaticaly see if it can connect... once it does, click the "Add" button.
Your Mac will now know where to look on the network to connect to your printer.  For some reason these steps are not listed in the directions and I just happen to try it myself and it has worked for me.

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

  • Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?

    After installing IOS 6.0.2 on my iPhone 5 I can no longer connect to known wireless sites.  I've been through troubleshooting with both Apple and my ISP and no luck.  I'm thinking there's wireless connectivity problems with this latest update (my iPad 3 is still running 6.0.1 and is fine on my wireless network). Are others having this issue as well?

    I am not guaranteeing this fix , but it worked for me , so far. I have an iphone 5 and it had ios 6.0.1 . Worked fine. Upgraded to 6.0.2 and it wouldn't connect with home router most of the time. My son in law an IT guy for the Government came up with a solution. The problem seemed most likely with routers that are bought and not configured and retain the original factory settings. Therefore my phone considers my home network a generic one and I have to manually connect to it. To distinguish the network we did the following.
    1) went to settings on my iphone
    2) choose "my home network" by pushing the arrow on the right
    3) This brought up the network info page. (it says "forget this network " at the top)
    4)DHCP will probably be highlighted.
    5) touch "static"
    6) This will bring up the manual settings
    7) We entered the following.
    For Ip Address 192.168.1.15
    Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0
    Router 192.168.1.1
    DNS 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
    Leave the HTTP Proxy to off
    This will assign a static Ip address not a dynamic one and should work.
    If it doesn't , go back to step 3 and select DHCP and return to the dynamic state .

  • Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

    Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
    Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
    First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
         - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
         - Set location to Automatic
         - Click Apply
         - Click Advanced
         - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
         - Click Apply
         - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
    Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
         - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
         - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
    Turn off your computer
         - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
         - turn on computer
         - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
         - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
         - this resets your PRAM
    Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
         - click Choose a Network
         - Select your network and enter password
    Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

         No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
         I called Apple Support  and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
    Cheers.

  • Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

    I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
    Problems include:
    - Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
    - Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
    - Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
    - Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
    However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
    So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
    1. Reset modem, router, and computer
    2. Delete caches, reset Safari
    3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
    4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
    None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

    Same thing here.
    I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
    -Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
    -usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
    -when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
    My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
    I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
    Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
    Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

  • Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

    Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems). 
    Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
    I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
    This week things have become considerably worse.
    I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
    There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
    I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
    The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
    I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple. 
    I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
    Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
    BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
    Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
    That's all for starters.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
    welcome to the forum
    This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
    if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Wireless Connection Problems for Home Hub 3 and Vi...

    We have upgraded from BT Home Hub 2 to version 3 and had a BT man (engineer) visit to set it up. He did so with no problems on our PC (wired, runnning XP) and installed all relevant software on the PC and this is connected which so far has been fast (enough - as expected) and reliable. Once the 'main' computer in the house was connected we then tried to connect other things to the internet using this BT Hub 3.
    However when attempting to connect our family laptop (running Vista) we hit trouble. Initially I tried to use the icon in the tray (bottom right of the screen) by clicking on connect to a network, then selecting our hub, then inputting the wireless key and going through the menus correctly. It would only connect 'locally' and not recognise the hub. It says identifying then says unidentified (public network BT Hub 3) and only 'local' access which I then change to private network. With my preivious internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT NOT Home, Work or Public.
    So I then tried the BT disc that comes with the hub into the laptop. I go through the menus - it asks is the broadband light steady blue? Yes. Click next to continue wireless set up. So I press continue. It then asks for the wireless network/SSID BTHub3- numbers and letters and the wireless key. So I put that in correctly (double checking) and click next. It then says Connecting to your Hub which then gets ticked but then the checking wireless key doesn't tick - it crosses, and says failed. It asks me to check I typed the numbers and letters correctly (I am sure of that) and It goes to Manuel set up. Where I select my hub and again type in the wireless key and click next. But the same thing happens - connecting to your hub gets ticked but checking wireless key fails.
    I then get a message that says i should do a wired set up, which I can do and works but on the laptop wired solutions is just not satisfactory - laptops need wireless connectivity. Is this a problem with my laptop, Vista or the hub/modem or a combination.
    I also have been able to connect other things to the internet such as a netbook (running Windows 7) and a games console. Please comment if anthing needs explaining or more detail. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    John46: I uninstalled the Hub programmes you said to. I then tried to connect to a network (wirelessly - accessed either by going to Start - Connect to or from the icon in the tray (bottom right). I selected my hub and clicked connect. It does its thing and says 'successfully connected to...' I close that and go onto Network and Sharing Center and it shows its trying to identify the network and wait a few seconds it then shows 'unidentified network (public network)...' and that I have only got local access and so cannot surf the web.
    As I mentioned in my earlier post:
    With my previous Internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT not got the choice between Home, Work or Public.
    Hope I've explained myself.

  • Wireless connection problems with iTunes

    After installing iTunes for my PC(using Windows Vista if that matters). Directly after installing iTunes my wireless connection works. Once I start importing my music into iTunes I lose my wireless connection. I can still see the wireless networks but I can no longer connect to any of them.
    Does anyone know whats causing this problem. Once I deleted iTunes from my computer my networks started working properly again after rebooting. I tried to download it again and the same thing happened yet again. After deleting agin I am still unable to connect to my wireless conection.

    I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
    Issue:
    During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
    Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
    Resolution:
    After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
    The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
    1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
    2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
    3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
    4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
    5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Reboot.
    Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

    Hello NorseGuy ,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
                                         I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue with staying connected on the wireless network.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I would also suggest going through the following document for troubleshooting  the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
    Thank you.

  • OfficeJet wireless connection problems

    I am hoping someone can help me as I have exhausted every option I can find.
    I bought an OfficeJet 6830 All in one printer. I have several devices that need access to it. 
    My desktop Dell uses a USB cable to connect to the printer and it works well.
    I have three laptops that I would like to connect wirelessly to the printer, but I can't get any of them to identify the printer.
    I can install the printer using a USB cable, so I know the software and drivers will install.
    When I set up the printer, I set up the wireless connection. The printer attaches to my Actiontec router (FiOS) and I can log into the router to see the device. It shows it as active. The blue light on the front panel of the printer is on and solid. I can check the settings in the printer and it shows the correct SSID and correct format for an IP address. I have set it up as a static address in the router and manually set it in the printer.
    The problem occurs when I try to install the software on the laptops. I get to the point wher I specify the connection as Wireless and the software attempts to find the printer, but it never finds it. I have tried manually typing in the address for the printer, but this does not help with discovery.
    I even tried installing the drivers and software using the USB cable which was successful. I then tried to convert the connection from USB to Wireless, but I don't think the software was waiting long enough for the printer to establish an IP address, because it would show a panel that stated the printer was connected to the network but waiting on an IP address. I would select Wait for the printer to establish an IP address, but even after the printer's blue light stopped flashing and stayed solid, the software still cannot find the printer.
    Anyone have further suggestions I might try to get it connected to my laptop?
    I would hate to ship back the printer, but if I can't print wirelessly, then I need to find a better printer
    Thanks.
    Update: 
    I found the Actiontec article and reread it twice before noticing that AES encryption was needed rather than the TKIP/AES I was using. I changed it to AES and I was able to install the software and get the printer to communicate with the laptop over the wireless connection. 
    Unfortunately, it didn't last very long as it is again refusing to communicate between the laptop and printer.
    Does anyone have a clue what's going wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi blbower,
    Well, by the sounds of things we may have our work cut out for us. 
    Let's start off right frm square one.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please remove the usb cable from the Windows XP computer and from the printer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    If you have already attempted to install the software and drivers on the Windows 7 computers, please click on the following link for Uninstalling the Printer Software.  I suggest you do this for each computer so that we are starting off clean.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please restart each computer so that the changes take affect.
    If you have any firewalls or anti virus protection running, disable it on each and every computer.
    This next link is the HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers .Please save this file on each computer to the Desktop so that it creates its own icon.
    Double click the new icon and follow the instructions for the installation.
    These steps will need to be done on each system.
    On the printers main display, we are going to need to reset the Network Defaults so that it starts off fresh.
    On the front touch panel, scroll to the right to the Setup option, go to Network set up and then to Restore Network Defaults. Press YES to make the changes.
    Once it has been reset, go to the Network Setup option once again and this time select Wireless Set up Wizard.  Once this is complete you will then see an IP address that you can add to each computer on the portion where it asks for a connection option in the installation.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Solaris 10 x86 64-bit wireless connection problem

    I installed Solaris 10 x86 32-bit on my laptop together with Fedora 10 (Linux) and Windows XP.
    When I boot up Fedora 10 and WinXP, these two OS are able to find the wireless driver automatically, but Solaris 10 failed.
    When I do prtconf -pv, I saw my wireless card is listed in the output.
    So I update the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and /etc/driver_aliases with my wireless card id - pci168c,001a
    Then do sys-unconfig and reboot
    But after reboot, Solaris still only tries to configure the ethernet card (NIC) rather than checking out the wireless connection.
    I think this might be a design flaw for Solaris 10. If it runs on x86, most users would have wireless connection, not just land line connection.
    Does anyone here have a solution for this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    I assume that when solaris 10 boots up, it only checks the land line NIC card, not the wireless card. If there is no lan connection, then so be it.
    Is that right?No! :-)
    nwam only supports one device but the device is selectable. physical should activate all devices regardless. So if your Wifi isn't working then I would use wificonfig to see what it can see. Check the man page for scan and showstatus options. Then you'll know what it's seeing.

  • Weird Laptop Wireless Connection Problem

    I have an HP DV6 6C16NR i7-2670QM laptop and am having a very annoying wireless internet connection problem.
    I'll connect fine to my home network, but if I restart and try to connect again, it won't. The only way to fix it, is if I change the channel on my router. And then it'll repeat itself. 
    Any idea what's going on here? Must be some sort of proxy/memory type problem?
    Using Netgear WNDR3700 with only 2.4ghz enabled. Lots of other wireless devices in our home connects without any issues at all. ie. cellphones (4), wireless alarm clock, IP cams (2) and a netbook.
    Is this a hardware issue that I should warranty?

    Hello ThaiM69,
    I'm not sure if you have Windows 7 or 8.  Please take a look at this page and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help to resolve your connection issue.
    Good luck!
