How do I set up my SSID to wireless router

Have HP3052A J611g printer that I cannot get to connect to my 'Clear' brnd wireless router.  It is a plug in and go to electical outlet,  There are no buttons on this unit..
My Mac Air Book does recognize this printer with correct model number in tact, but cannot connect.
I do have a SSID number from my Clear internet connection product.  I cannot find a way to get my HP printer network name to match this wireless outer network name (SSID) exactly.
I can get the printer to get the wireless connection to 'on', but goes off on it's own within seconds.  
Please advise.

Ensure that the Airport base station is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
On the iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
On the PowerBook
Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility
Add Printer
It may work with the HP driver (which you will need to install on the PowerBook)
It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

  • How do I set up an imac on wireless network?

    How do I set up an imac on a wireless network if i don't won't to run an ethernet cable through the floor? I have an airport express and airport extreme. The extreme is used as my home wirless base station.

  • Need help setting up my d-link wireless router to my imac

    I need some help trying to set up my D-Link WBR 2310 wireless router to my iMac. I currently have Bell Sympatico high speed.
    The reason I want to set up the wireless router is because my girlfriend works from home sometimes with her office computer downstairs and needs a wireless connection (she has a PC). I tried to call D-Link, but they're useless.
    Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be great to know what settings to change and as much step by step info as possible. I realize it's probably pretty simple to set up, but I'm fairly new to Macs and also to wireless.
    Thanks again

    Hello, 
    Connect the D-Link to the iMac by Ethernet.
    Open Safari (or Firefox)
    Navigate to http://192.168.1.1
    Enter your password (default user is Admin and password "admin" - change it!)
    Find the Wireless Security section and change the SSID to your own name i.e. "home network" .
    Set the Encryption setting to "WPA" and enter a password of your choice. This is the encryption key and is different to the router's admin password.
    Configure the WAN part of the router (which will vary depending on your ISP).
    Configure the DHCP to serve clients (should be a simple on/off).
    Disconnect the iMac
    Go to the iMac and turn on Airport on (on the menu bar).
    When the iMac finds your SSID select it and enter the encryption password.
    Check to allow Keychain to store that detail.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I use Time Capsule as a wireless router and turn my current one into modem only

    I have a crappy modem/ router and before I purchase a new modem I want to use the modem (no wireless) feature of my router.
    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house. I am assuming this is possible it is I just dont know how to go about doing this myslef without guidance, and the Airport Installer is confusing to me.
    Thanks!

    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to  configure the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network".  Select the "Bridge Mode" option when it appears during the setup. (AirPort Utility will normally do this for you)
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Yes
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    We prefer not to guess at things, but since we do not know the make and model number of your modem/router, and this is an Apple support area, we have little choice.
    In general, you would enter the default IP address of the device into your browser to bring up the configuration pages (check your documentatio on the modem/router for this information, or it may be on the back or bottom of the device. An example of a default IP address is something like 192.168.1.254
    There will be a wireless settings page that will allow you turn off the wireless function of the device.
    If you acquired the modem/router from your service provider, they should be able to tell you how to do this as well, or if you check the manufacturer's website, they will likely have a support area for questions like this.
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house.
    You will need to log on to the Time Capsule wireless network from each device and enter the password to connect. Most computers will "remember" the setting so that you do not have to enter the password each time that you connect.

  • How do I find the IP of my wireless router??

    I know this a bit off-topic, but it seemed the only place to post this. . .
    I've bought a belkin wireless router so i can use my laptop round the house (the airport extreme in my G5 is too weak to get through our walls). The laptop (and my PSP ) finds the belkin and connects to the internet/network through it, but I cannot access the admin page of the router to set up a password. I'e entered the IP address listed in its manual, but it doesn't connect to anything. I've tried other obvious numbers with no success.
    There's nothing about this on the belkin site, and I've searched Versiontracker to see if i can find anything that will scan my network for it - does anyone have any suggestions
    Cheers
    Steve

    First, I would reiterate what previous posters have suggested, using a browser besides Safari. I know first hand that Safari does not play well with Belkin gear.
    If not, try this:
    1. Finder>applications>Utilities>network Utilities.app
    2. Use the "traceroute" function and use something like www.google.com. Most likely the first IP returned is your gateway.
    3. Use the "port scan" function to scan all ports using the IP above (leave the field blank) and check the returned ports. Almost all routers use port 80 but some may be configured to use 8080, 443 or some user defined port.
    4. Try connecting to the router by typing http://192.168.1.1:8080 for example using the ip address of the gateway and the ports retuned by the tools separated by a colon. Also try https://x.x.x.x The router may have been set to only connect using ssl/tls via port 443
    5. If none of this works you could try doing a factory restore which will be outlined in the manual for the router. Just be advised that any configuration currently in the router will be lost for good.
    Good luck. If any of this doesn't work post back for more ideas.

  • How can I turn off my Linksys 1200 wireless router?

    Hi,
    I just got a Linksys 1200 wireless router and wanted to know how (and the best way) I can turn it off (besides unplugging it) when I am out of town? 
    Thanks

    hi there.
    there is no on/off switch in the router. these devices are meant to run 24/7 so there's no off on it.

  • How do you set up a new APTC wireless network to seamlessly replace an older APExt Base Station wireless network

    I have an older Airport Extreme Base Station and it currently generates our existing wireless network.  I am interested in setting up a new 2TB Time Capsule. It seems as though the new TC would replace the older AP Ext Base Station in generating a new, higher performing wireless network, with the old AP Ext Base Station repurposed as a network extender out into the backyard where the current Wi Fi signal is weak. 
    Naturally, we have a lot of devices now using the existing wireless network.  Is it possible to set up the new wireless network with the new TC using the same name, password etc, as the existing wireless network, so we are not required to deal with all the devices, not to mention the group of visitors who connect when they are here. If so, how do I step through the process?  Can the older AP Ext base Station then be used to extend the new, same-named network?  Thank you for your help. 

    However, the Alert message I'm getting says that the content of the Time Capsules can't be modified. This is where  I run into trouble.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon to reveal a folder representing the drive. Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.
    The first time that you do this, you may see a "Not Connected" message. Click on "Connect As" and enter the device password for the Time Capsule.
    Then drag/drop files onto the drive icon on the desktop, or to the open window there.

  • How do I set up the MX430 for wireless printing

  • Set Up Time Capsule as Wireless Router - Now How set up Time Machine?

    Time Capsule is performing great as wireless base station set up today. Extended the network and added AirTunes Airport Express - everything works great.
    Started Time Machine to configure the TC as the backup device for TM. Time Machine prompts me to "Set Up Time Capsule" and clicking that button brings me to Airport Utility. But there are no settings in the Airport Utility which allow me to configure the Time Capsule as the TM backup location.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply and the article. It turns out the problem was that when I initially set up the Time Capsule in Airport Utility I checked the "not now" box when asked if I wanted to set up the TC for Time Machine backup. (I figured I could easily come back later to configure the TC for Time Machine.) I had to restart the AirPort Utility process and revert the TC to factory settings and then re-configure the TC while also setting up the wireless network and the Time Machine at same time. All is well now and after 6 hours overnight for the initial backup my iMac is backed up by TM on a regular schedule.

  • HT4356 How do I set up iPad to use wireless Kodak printer?

    I have iPad 2. looked at air print instructions but Kodak printers are not listed. can I not use iPad with printer that is not listed?

    As noted, most Kodak printers are not air print enabled (if not all) but there are work arounds.
    First, Kodak has apps that may do what you want done. Search for Kodak in the app store (just make sure they print documents if that's what you need, most of hte ones I saw the last time I looked only printed photos)
    Second, Kodak has a partnership with Google Docs that allow some options. Such as the ability to e-mail your document to some models. Or to have a program on a comptuer that's hardwired to the printer, you mail/upload the document from your iPad, then download to the hardwired comptuer that then prints.  (I didn't dig too deeply because I just didn't need yet another online account)
    Third, third party apps. I use Print n Share, others recomment Printopia or Print Central.
    I have a 7250 and use Print n Share and it works just fine with my Kodak printer.
    Look on the Kodak site, under the support part and for info specific to your model and see what options you have for your model printer.

  • How do I get a password on my wireless router?

    I think I found a person on in My Finder sharing my network. I'm not too happy. When we set up our router
    it didn't ask for a password, so we don't have one. I'm not too computer savvy, but can do the basics.
    Help..not sure what I can do ? I'd  like to have a password so people can't get onto my network.
    Thanks for the help
    April

    There are two different passwords at issue here. They aren't necessarily the same, and shouldn't be the same.
    One is the password you use to get into your router settings. If you don't know what that password is, you'll have to reset your router to its factory default settings. I can't tell you how to do that. There's probably either a button to press or a pinhole into which you insert a paper clip. After you reset the router, it will have a default password, which you must change immediately. The default password is in the documentation somewhere. Find that documentation on the manufacturer's website.
    Do not leave the default password set.
    The other password is the network password, which you set within the router's web interface. I can't tell you how to do that either. Make sure you select WPA2 Personal as the security standard, not WEP. If the router doesn't have that setting, recycle it and get a newer one.
    See this support article for the possible formats of wireless network passwords:
    AirPort: Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network
