HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network

Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
This is not an expected behavior.
I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
Enter the Setup menu.
Enter the Network menu.
Click Wireless.
Click Wireless Test Report.
What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.

  • Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

    Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network.  I have to input my password each time I leave my house.  My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade.  Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network?  Thanks.

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Apple Airprint to HP Officejet 6500A Plus via Wired Connection to Router

    Hi There,
    So I've done a considerable amount of research into this across the internet and this forum and I'm still struggling to find a satisfactory solution.
    I have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected by ethernet into my BT Homehub 3.
    It is my understanding that even though this is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet over through the airprint facility.
    Unfortunately this is not the case. I only get the "No Airprint Printers Found" message on both devices. The only way I have managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect was to mannualy add using the IP address for the printer.
    Can anyone give any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong? The printer is definitely connecting to the internet as I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.
    Some might say well what is the problem, just use the HP app but this is not point. I believe if something has been implemented to make things easier then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this functionality so it's a little frustrating to find it so difficult to achieve the desired results.
    Hope it's something straightforward and someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Steve
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Further to this request, and reading many more similar issues, I think I may resolved this.
    I am not 100% sure but I have read some threads suggesting there are issues around BT's Homehub 3 and bonjour so this may be an issue.
    I have tried the following over the past couple of days...
    1) Completely reset my router (wiped all settings and started again) - No luck!
    2) Tried changing from WPA2 to just WPA security - No luck!
    3) Tried forwarding the bonjour ports to the printer - No luck!
    4) Switched off router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back router, printer and then iOS devices - Printer appears on iOS devices but when print was selected, iOS device repeatedly returned Printer Not Connected error.
    Finally, what seems to have done it (at least for now) was...
    1) Unplugged ethernet from the Officejet and set it up as Wireless connection.
    2) Powered down router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back up in the order stated earlier.
    3) So far I have tried printing an email and a web page from my iOS devices and both have been sucessful.
    Incidentally I had been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone and iPad until I started messing around with settings above and now this issue also seems to be resolved.
    Due to variety of combinations (different printers, routers etc) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution which addresses an individual problem however I hope some of my experimenting and findings might help others in some way.

  • Officejet 6500A plus won't connect to new wireless router

    I recently purchased the Netgear R6250 Wireless Router.  My HP Officejet 6500A plus was able to connect to my old router, the Netgear WNDR3400, but it will not connect to my new router using the WPS feature, nor the Pin method.
    I get "An error has occured" message when using the WPS, and an "Invalid Passphrase" with the manual input. I have verified the passphrase several times with the same result.
    Is the issue with my new router (i.e. I need to make some sort of change to its settings that are not indicated in the manual) or is there an issue with the Printer (i.e. something special needs to be done to allow it to connect to this new router) 

    Yes, download the user guide here.

  • Officejet 6500A Plus not printing in colour in Mavericks

    Hi
    I have an Officejet 6500A Plus that is currently not printing in colour. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.3. The printer used to print colour when I had a wireless connection but this was very temparamental connecting and got worse when Mavericks appeared so I decided to use a USB connection. To do this I had to uninstall all the HP software and then reinstall the printer as a USB printer. Everything works fine scanning and printing, but it will not print in colour. The HP help says to make sure Apple Software is up to date which it is and everything should work, but it doesn't. I'm unable to install the HP software that orginally came on disk as it wont work with Mavericks and there doesn't seem to be any useful help from HP - will this ever work again?
    Jeremy

    Welcome to the HP Forums Jezza1505,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to print in color on the Maverick since uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers. I can help you with this issue.
    I checked online and the drivers for Maverick are from the Apple Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Try printing a document in color again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Under Yosemite iMac will not stay connected to ethernet network

    Mac OS X 10.10.1
    When attached to Netgear Prosafe gigabit unmanaged switch (circa 2007) iMac Retina, Mac Pro, Macbook Pro will not stay connected to Apple Airport managed ethernet LAN. With Sys Prefs Network panel open I can watch the ethernet connect and disconnect on a periodic basis (about every 15 secs!). When same machines are connected to ethernet ports on the Airport itself, connections are steady and permanent. I suspect incompatibility with networking protocol used by Netgear but assuming their protocol is standard the incompatibility must be in Yosemite. Did NOT have this problem under Mavericks with any of my machines.
    Is my only alternative to order a new gigabit switch? If so, have protocols changed in the intervening 6 years such that Yosemite is not compatible with older switches?

    Well, my 6 year old netgear gigabit switch must have been partially failing because when I replaced it with the current model (same specs, same model name, but sold as an updated model??) things are now going fine. Getting gigabit network speeds on all computers and 100% reliable connection. Guess it was just a coincidence that my Yosemite update and the switch failure occurred at the same time.

  • PC will not automatically connect to wireless network on startup...

    Hi all - I have a WRTG54 wirless router with the latest firmware.  Windows XP Home SP2.  I have a mixed network with two wired PCs and one wireless.  The wireless PC will not automatically connect to the network. To connect to the network i have to go to the wireless network properties box and check "let windows automatically configure network"  Once I do this the wirelss PC connects with no problem.  Unfortunatley, whenever i turn the PC off and turn it back on the "let windows automatically configure network" is unchecked and i have to go through the process of checking it again.  I uninstalled the wireless adapter and reinstalled the drivers only and then ran the windows wireless setup wizard but the problem persists.  Any help on this would be much appreciated.!!!! Thanks!!

    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Do not let "Windows automatically configure your network".  Instead do the following:
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.  It should connect automatically.  If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps. 
    Some users have reported improved wireless connections by switching to WPA  ( = WPA with TKIP)  encryption.

  • Does not automatically connect to wireless network anymore

    Mac Book does not automatically connect to know networks any longer.

    Hi sashton,
    When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
    Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
    If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
    Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
    Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • SOLVED! HP Officejet 6500A E710 will not stay connected to the network. scanner not connected

    After 5 hours of live remote HP tech support, and 10 more hours of web searching, I am happy to say I have solved the wireless network connection issue with scanning and printing using the HP Officejet 6500A E710n-z.  I notice that there are a lot of people with similar issues with no common, successful fix.  Here is what worked for me.  
    Background Info:
    Upgraded internet service from 9Mbps to 27Mbps...Provider brought out new Arris DG860 modem/router.  Configured network and connected all clients (smart phones, PCs, Tablets, etc) successfully accept the printer.  With this new router/modem the printer/scanner/fax would not connect to my PC at all (Windows 7 64-bit).  The Officejet was always connected to the network, however, anytime I tried to print I would get an error "Unable to connect to the printer...", and when I made an attempt to scan.."Scanner not connected, make sure it is connected to the network..." blah blah blah.  
    Process:  
    After searching the web for solutions with no success, I finally made my first call to HP tech support.  Tech tried numerous fixes: many network changes (channel, static IP, etc.), made changes to Windows system settings and registry, installed new software and drivers, ran the scan doctor, partial, semi, and full reset on the printer.  He changed my wifi channel to 6 (or 11) from AUTO and whola.  That seemed to fix the problem.  After hanging up the phone 10 minutes later "No connection" errors again.  Made a second call to HP Tech Support, and this new tech basically tried all the same fixes as the first tech.  Worked again for 10-15 minutes then disconnected.  Made third call to tech and this individual tried the same fixes as the previous two, but to no avail.  He said he would have to direct me to a more Advanced Technician and would call back tomorrow.  They called back the next day, and this new tech fixed the issue within 20 minutes. 
    Problem/Solution:
    The fourth "more advanced" tech made one change in my network configuration settings.  He changed my network mode from B/G/N to B/G and now the printer/scanner/fax stays connected and works like brand new.  The only problem is that all my devices (including the Officejet) are 802.11N capable.  Setting my network to the old B/G mixed mode slows my speed down just a bit.  Using B/G/N mode or N, my download speed is 27 Mbps.  On B/G mixed my speed is 25Mbps.  Not too big of a deal, though.  All the HP Support Techs were very nice and helpfull.  They refunded my $25 Tech fee [fee charged when product is out of warranty] because the problem is not "technically" solved, even though it does work.  Conclusio:  This seems to be an issue with my the modem/router provided by my ISP.  Could also be that it is an older Officejet and need to upgrade.    To Fix Follow the Steps Below:
    Step 1:  Find your default gateway IP...usuall 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or similar.  Type this IP into your web address bar and hit enter.
    Step 2:  Enter the username and password.  This is normally set at factory default --> username: admin ....passowrd: password .... or .... admin
    Step 3: Go to the "Wireless Setup" tab and under the "Advanced Options" and "Wireless Network Settings" change the "Wireless Mode" to "B/G mixed".  
    Step 4:  Click "Apply" then close the browser.
    You may, or may not, lose your wifi connection for a short period while the new settings are applied and you may, or may not, have to power cycle your modem/router.  That's it.  Worked for me and I hope it works for you too.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post. 

    OK, that all sounds right.  Here are a few more router config ideas:
    1. Make sure that 802.11g mode is available, along with others is OK, but 'g' must be present.
    2. Change the channel to 11.
    3. Use WPA or WPA/WPA2 encryption, not WPA2 only.

  • Imac won't stay connected to wireless network

    I recently moved and now my imac won't stay connected to my wireless network. Every other device connects just fine, so it's not the service, or the location, because devices are all in the same room.
    Every time my computer goes to sleep it seems to completely forget how to connect to the internet. There is only one Network (mine) listed in preferred networks. The computer will connect only if I go to System Preferences and run through the Network Diagnostics to tell it exactly what to connect to. Each time it says my connection and internet are fine, which I know.
    Please someone tell me how to get it to remember my network so I can stop going through the Diagnostics every time I want to use my internet.

  • Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

    When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years.  I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore. 
         Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue.  I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.  
      I would appreciate any help on this issue.  Thanks!

  • HP 3050 will not stay on the wireless network for more than a few minutes at a time.

    My HP DeskJet 3050 J610 is constantly dropping the wireless connection. It won't stay on for more than a few minutes. If I power cycle, it comes right back on, but drops again after a few minutes. It will print fine from a USB. When it drops off, pings time out even though the device shows "ready" in Windows 7, Windows XP and OSX. I've done everything HP suggests - static IP, upgraded firmware, diagnostic tools, etc. I am out of options.
    I can hit print right now, printer shows as ready, then I will get a print error. If I go over and power cycle the printer, my document will print - most of the time. It will remain on the network for a few minutes, then stop working. As soon as I power cycle it, I get a few more minutes before it drops. It has always done this from day one.

    I don't have another wireless network close by that I could test it on. I'm a little isolated. i might be able to work out a time when I could take it by a friend's house, but he's over an hour away.
    I have a Win 7 laptop, a Win XP desktop and an old Mac Powerbook as well as an iPod Touch and iPad 3 that use my wireless network without any problems - besides the fact that hardly any of my devices will talk to the other... But that's an OS issue. They all see the network, and the printer after I cycle the power on it.
    My wireless router is a Netgear WNR2000. I remember monkeying with the channels when I frist got this printer a few months ago, but I don't remember what all I did. Since I did a firmware update on the router, the channel is now set to Auto. If there's a channel you think I should try, let me know what it is. The printer shows up on the list of devices in the router, but that may be because I have its address reserved for the static IP. Interestingly, the router sees the printer, even though my devices cannot. I did a ping just now while checking that, and got this - which is unusual. Normally they all time out.

    Is there a possibility that the printer is going into a standby state and having trouble waking when traffic hits? I don't know if that's possible, just seems like it looking at this.

  • Apple TV does not re-connect to wireless network after standby

    When I 'turn on' my ATV after it has been in standby mode it will not re connect to my wlan. I have to do a restart of the ATV box before it will find the network again. Needless to say, this is a complete pain....anyone else suffer from this or know a fix ?
    Thanks,
    andrew

    I removed the file "com.apple.networkConfig.plist" from the Library\Preferences folder and restarted. Now my network is found after restarts and wake from sleep.

  • Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network

    Tried to setup the new printer from both Windows 8 and Vista os.  Can't retrieve wireless info (even tho the printer will pick it up).  HP used to produce good products.

  • I have both Apple and Android devices. My Android devices will not stay connected to wireless . I have the Airport Express. The Android devices are a Galaxy S4 and Tab 3. These both worked perfectly on my ancient Linksys WRT 120 N wireless router.

    I have called Apple support twice and no one can confrm or deny as to whether Android devices can connect with the Airport Express. I have had the it configured 3 times so far and my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 are useless with the Airport Express.

    BTW what did you mean by using my old wireless router as a AP? 
    Every Wireless router ever made is actually made of two components..
    A router and a wireless AP. (AP = Access Point).
    To use any wireless router as a AP you simply bypass or turn off the router..
    In an Apple router this is called Bridge mode..
    In many routers it is known as AP or WAP mode.
    But often they do not have the option..
    Set it up manually.. we call this WAN bypass as it will bypass the router.
    So what you do is open your wireless router setup page in your browser.. go to the LAN setup page.
    You need to do two things.
    1. Turn off the dhcp server.
    2. Set the LAN IP to match the main router..
    For instance if your plug it into your apple router and it is at the default IP.. 10.0.1.1 then set the Linksys to 10.0.1.254
    The Linksys is then updated.. Plug the ethernet cable from LAN port apple router to LAN port WRT120 (not WAN)
    Now with a computer plugged into the apple router or into the Linksys .. by ethernet.. open the IP address you just set.. go to the wireless tab in the setup and give the wireless SSID a suitable name for your other (non-apple) products.. voila.. you have now turned a wireless router into an AP.
