HP Office Jet 6500aPlus not connecting to wireless

I have an HP Office Jet 6500aPlus, alomst 2 years old, working well. No major issues.
A couple of days ago, the printer showed offline.
I have done the following:
(a) Unplugged the printer, reconnected to the wireless, printer the test page and it shows connected.
(b) From the 3 laptops and iPad at home, all show printer offline.
(c) I tried to go to apps from the printer, states no wireless access.
Did check the wireless connection, states connected.
(d) Connected USB cable and printed successfully.
What might be the best way to get the printer on the network again! I am an HP employee, so totally thrown off with this issue.
Thanks!!

More than likely it is not going to work then. Getting printers to work wirelessly with hot spots is something that is not always guaranteed to work. I've seen it work, but it is very rare.
Do you have any firewalls or virus-protection set up on your computer?

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

IOS7 update failure w/ error "Not Connected to Wireless", but I am connected- How can I update?

My iPad has the defective "gotofailure" bug in iOS7, but there is only 1 pending update which describes a completely unrelated issue. I am connected to my Wireless LAN, and that connection works fine. But, when I try to download and install the pending update (Which may or may not have the major security hole fixed), the update fails with the error message "not connected to wireless". How can I get someone at Apple support to tell me how to get around this problem?
What am I supposed to do when the fix for a major bug is blocked by another (apparently minor) update?
(note: I am over the 30 day warranty, but within the 1 year warranty. However, Apple support wants me to pay $20 to have them tell me how to fix their defective software...
I expect that the 1 year warranty should apply to defective software, especially this major security bug!
This bug completely compromises browser and internet security... it is a HUGE deal!
see: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2014/02/gotofail/ ).
This is my first Apple product since the Apple 2E. If this is the level of customer support and warranty for defects, hardware or software, that Apple provides, it may well be my last apple product.
I have worked in customer support at another major computer company, and this type of policy is the surest way to send customers to your competitors that I know of. Tim Cook, are you listening?
(P.S. Don't bother trying to get the attention of any Apple Executive - they don't want to hear from customers to provide feedback on their products or policies - not by phone nor by email.)
Any workarounds for the problem or a way to update the iOS7 to fix the security hole will be greatly appreciated.

Hi...
I think here the issue may be that the utility and the internet connection are not getting synchronised. The operating system on your computer is it win XP? If it is win xp, u can use the windows wireless software to manage to your wireless network. In order to use the windows wireless zero configuration, right click on the linksys icon at the bottom right hand corner of the task bar, select the option that says "use windows wireless ....".
The linksys icon will be grayed and windows will be managing the wireless network. Connect to your wireless network and you should be able to go online.

After recent apple update MBP will not connect to wireless internet

After running recent Security and Airport upgrades my Mac Book Pro (Intel) will not connect to wireless home router supplied by Verizon (GTE) and several public wi-fi's. Cannot get IP but sees networks. My iMac PPC still works fine. Prior to upgrade everything worked fine at home and abroad to other public wi-fi's. MBP still connects at work with AppleBase wireless. Can the upgrade be removed? Is there a simple fix? Should I wait for apple to fix this and break something else.... If not broken don't fix it..

I'm having similar issues.
I have 2 MBP's. The newest one is about 1 month old and has never been able to connect to a WPA network. The older MBP is 20 months old and was originally installed with Tiger and gradually updated via Software Update and a retail copy of Leopard and subsequent Software Update updates to 10.5.2. Interestingly, this MBP was always able to access my WPA network until I decided to do an erase and install. I installed the retail copy of Leopard and was subsequently unable to access my WPA network. So, I went back to my Tiger install disks - but I'm guessing that whatever Leopard did *possibly* updated the firmware of the airport card as, even under Tiger, I could not access my WPA network (yes, I agree it seems unlikely that an OS update would/should update firmware but I am grasping at straws).
Trying to further understand the problem , I noted that the Network utility in System preferences would always show either a connection error or a connection timeout whenever I attempted to join my WPA network. I turned on syslog in my router and attempted to rejoin the network and saw the following errors:

Any ideas as to where my investigations could progress? (The router manufacturer tells me that the WPA timeout handler is not configurable on the router).

G410 not connecting in wireless

I have a G410 notebook model 2049 52q with gemtek wireless lan card.
I hv installed win xp sp2 with all drivers. But it is not connecting to wireless router of DLink or Linksys.
No light for wireless is glowing. While other Lenovo notebook of N series is connecting fine with router.
G 410 is not connecting with another wireless laptop. It just does not show any wireless network in range
Message Edited by Rajhans on 09-24-2008 06:05 AM

To make wireless network working you must match three conditions:
1) Drivers are installed (no yellow marks in Device Manager)
2) Hardware switch is ON (it's on right side of notebook, near power chord)
3) Fn+F5 utility is working.
Check these please and post back if everything is as described.

IPad will not connect to wireless

iPad will not connect to wireless network, keeps trying but will not connect. Working on our other iPad that has no issue connecting to the same network

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HP Deskjet 3000 does not connect via Wireless to Windows 8.1 any more

Good day. My job requires me to move with my laptop (Asus X54C with NO bluetooth, only wireless) between multiple workplaces. One of these offices has an HP Deskjet 3000 wireless printer, which I used with no problem whatsoever under Windows 8.0 64-bit.I didn't even need to install its drivers, because Windows 8 would instantly recognise the driver's wireless signal.
Then a month ago I decided to update to Windows 8.1: after that, the printer suddenly stopped appearing in my “Network Connections”. I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall the 8.1 signed drivers by HP, but to no avail. The printer is recognised and works perfectly with an USB cable. I clearly recall seeing it on the right-hand pane (“Networks”), but since the 8.1 update it isn’t there anymore. The icon in the System Tray tells me that “connections are available”, but I can see no connections at all. In that particular office there is no Internet connection or other wireless connections apart from the HP printer (that however I cannot connect to). I'd like to point out that the wireless function is OK because a colleague of mine can still print using his Mac's Airport connection.
I have already posted in the Windows 8 (Microsoft Answers) Forum, but nobody has ever answered. You can find the thread here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/winows-81-not-finding-wireless-...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Can not connect to wireless network any more, missing command

I can not connect to any wireless network. I have been having this problem for days. In desperation I installed 10.4 in a seperate HD. I clicked on the airport icon in the upper tool bar, selected my network name and clicked on "open internet connect" and I was connected, what?? I rebooted into 10.5 and tried the same thing again. But the panel that opens when you click on the airport icon has NO "open internet connect" command. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled my OS. I have run diskwarrior and Techtool pro. Thinking back to the time I first installed 10.5 I don't remember ever seeing that command. Is Leopard compatible with the airport card? How do I get my "open internet connect" command back??

It sounds like a problem between hardware and software. When you select your network, does anything freeze or does nothing happen?
Nothing happens.
Try this, open your Network Preference Pane, turn off airport off and delete the Airport connection by selecting "Airport" in the left pane and click the " - " button. Click on the "+" sign and create a new Airport connection. Hit Apply if it is available. Turn AirPort on and try to select your network and login if you can. The status should show Connected and an IP address should show up after of a couple of seconds.
I get "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet". On a couple of occasions (over the last couple days) I got you are connected to the internet on IP 172.17.90.251. However when I tried to open a web page I got the banner you are not connected to the internet. Strange, the pref panet said I was the Safari said I was not. Certainly the IP address does not show up in a few seconds. I also have ComCast cable but I need to use the MetroFi-Free wireless so my wife has the bandwidth to do her company work using VPN.
