  • Airport Express cannot connect to Netgear WNAP210

    I changed my old netgear access point (WG602) to a netgear WNAP210. I cannot connect my airport express to the base station, neighter as access point nor as repeater. The WNAP210 is on standard configuration. I tried WPA, WPA2 and no protection but I was not possible to connect.
    Which settings do I need that I can use the WNAP210 as base station and the airport express as repeater?
    Which setting do I need that I can use the WNAP210 as base station and the airport express as access point just for listening music?

    WOW so after all that it turns out somehow in memory even after a factory reset it was looking for my original SSID which was on dual 2.4 and 5 ghz when I first set it up..after some more troubleshooting I hooked it up to my PC with factory settings and couldn't even find the 5 ghz SSID..after that I disabled the 2.4 ghz SSID completely from the router and then I couldn't see anything..after more troubleshooting I renamed the SSID name to something new and now the airport connected to the 5 ghz, re-enabled the 2.4 with a new name and everything is working great! Thank goodness!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g loses connectivity

    The above all in one printer shows that it is disconnected when the computer is turned on after being shut down.  It worked great when I first bought it about 6 months ago, but all of a sudden it developed this problem.  Any suggestions on how to correct it.  If I unplug and then plug to cord from the wall, then it works fine. 

    Unfortunately, you are not alone.  Search the forums for this problem and you will find several threads.  Based on being involved with several of those here is what I recommend:
    1. Connect with Ethernet cable if you can.  Your problems will likely disappear.
    2. If not, try changing the wireless channel to 1 or 11.
    3. Try changing your group key renewal time (WPA key) to the maximum allowable by the router.
    4. You can try this firmware update, but it does not list this as a fault it corrects.
    Let's try those and go from there...

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Crashes My Internet

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g printer connected through a Netgear WNDR3400v2 router which is then shared through 3 computers all running Windows 7 Home Premium, in fact they are all identical. Now for the problem it seems that every time I turn on my printer, it seems to crash the internet, which is fine if your printing stuff offline, but when your trying to print stuff from the internet it is an issue. Before this point, it was nothing besides having to reinstall the printer periodically, although before it started crashing the internet it seemed that I had to reinstall the printer every time I wanted to print something.
    I first noticed it about 2 weeks ago, and just brushed it off at first, I thought that it was just a minor glitch, and it would work itself out, but apparently I was wrong. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
    If more information is required, please feel free to ask, so I can solve this problem.

    I was able to resolve this by assigning a static IP to the printer.
    Turn on the printer and have it connect to the wireless network, where it will find an IP address.
    After it is on the network
    From the front panel of the printer, go Tools (the wrench icon)
    Select Network
    Select Advanced Setup
    Select IP Settings
    Select Manual
    Select all the settings as they are.  Record the IP address that it has been assigned
    Log into the router admin screen http://routerlogin.net
    Click on the Advanced Tab
    Under the Settings button, select Lan Setup
    Under Address Reservation, click Add
    All the devices on your network will be shown.  Select the one with the IP of the printer.
    Hit Add
    You may need to go back to the Basic Tab, Select Internet, and then select Test, just to re-establish the internet connection if it got lost at the beginning

  • Problem Connecting HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 a909g to Wireless Router LinkSys EA6300

    Hi- Please help. I just got a new computer and am trying to set up my printer wirelessly to connect to my computer. With my old computer, I had it connected via a wired usb connection because I could not get the wireless setup to work. I would like to get the wireless figured out now that I have multiple devices.
    I tried to connect my printer (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g) to my wireless Router (Linksys EA6300), followed the prompts 'Setup -> Network -> Wireless Setup Wizard' on the front pane of the printer. It was unable to find my wireless router. I tried putting in my router name/SSID and WPA password and it still cannot locate the router. I am assuming this is a router setting issue, but I am not sure what to change to get my printer to be able to find the router for the wireless connection. I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

    Hi,
    To better understand the issue, can the printer see other networks in your area? can your PC see multiple networks or only your router's SSID (in order to deny any issue with the wireless radio of the printer).
    As I can see the EA6300 is a dual band router.
    The first thing to check is that your router being set to broadcast a wireless signal using the 2.4GHz band, the pritner doe not support the 5.0GHz band and will not see a router configured to broadcast in such a band.
    As well I would ensure that you do not have any other device which broadcast the same SSID as your router, as your router more likewly configured to broadcast both 2.4 ang 5.0 GHz bands (As a Dual Band router) I would also ensure that a different SSID being set for each band (e.g. home_24 / home 5)
    YOu may contact the router service provider for further assistant with your router configuration, you may also try following its user guide below:

  • Cannot find Officejet Pro 8500 A909g on network

    We have several PC's/laptops connected to our wireless network and they all use the same printer, ( Officejet Pro 8500 A909g )
    My personal laptop was working fine with the printer untill Vista crashed and I upgraded to Windows 7. I downloaded the software and driver for Win 7 and installed it. The printer still works fine with all the other printers, proving it is connected to the network. I have total access to the network and are using other functions like DVRDB etc with Win 7 via the network.
    Yet during the installation process it doesn't pick up the network printer on my laptop.. All the trouble shooting answers are reputed by the fact that the printer is working fine with the other PC's/laptops. The Network test report can't find any problems either plus I connect fine to the internet etc via the network.
    I disabled all Firewalls and still can't find the network printer.
    It might be that I named the PC the same when I re-installed Win 7 but the laptop IP address changed. (I couldn't remember what it was so it was changed)
    Could anyone suggest anything I can do to get this fixed?
    Cheers

    I have just purchased a Officejet Pro 8500 A909g and trying to setup a wired connection and having the same issues. The install worked up until the "Detecting Network" process and then hung for about 30 mins. I have run the HP network utility, as suggested on the site, & the printer is visible! I have also successfully setup the software on another Windows 7 (64bit) system without any issues.
    I am guessing that I have some form of driver conflict causing an issue when I try and finalised the network setup. I am guessing this as I have had other similar issues with other network print servers. The question is how do I find out what the issue is without a complete OS reinstall!

  • TS1398 Not very helpful as I still cannot connect with my Netgear network with my iPad.

    I have tried all the suggestions.  I cannot download the previous iOS and am sure that the update iOS 6 is the whole crux of the problem.  I cannot download as I cannot connect with the network.  Any suggestions?  I am a novice and need detailed help! 

    Is your N network using 5 GHz only?  The tech specs for the iPhone 4S lists that it can only connect to N networks at 2.4 GHz.  The iPad 2 specs do not list that restriction.

  • Printer keeps printing (HP Officejet pro 8500 A909g)

    I'm currently running a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g wireless all-in-one printer off a wireless network - my laptop running Vista Basic.
    My printer has started the Christmas season by printing the document I send to it repeatedly... whether this is a windows problem or something specific to the printer I don't know - has anyone come across this before? 
    There are no error messages on the printer, it's just happily printing page after page... (until I kill it in the print dialogue).  Advice appreciated! :-)

     I am having this very same problem and have been chasing it since August.  Here are some of the characteristics I have notices:
    - I have several machines attached to this printer.  All of them using the wireless connection.  It only happens in Windows Vista (Home premium in my case).  All my windows machines do not have this problem at all
    - No multiple copies option has been setup
    - Seems to happen with Windows Office applications (Word, ppt, publisher), Internet Explorer, and .pdf files.  In the windows office, my word and power point are version 2002 SP3.  Publisher is version 2003.
    - I have installed, deleted, re-installed drivers several times with no luck
    - I uses A909n (8500 premier)
    - Files might or might not reproduce the problem.  I can print the file and it will give me multiple copies.  I can then close and immediately open and print and I will not get multiple copies
    - In my case the number of copies seems random.  Usually in the 6-12 copies range
    How do I live with this?  Well it annoys me, but when I print if I notice that I am getting multiple copies, I go to the printer queue on Windows and delete the job.  Since my main computer is XP, the problem is not so huge, but my wife's computer is one of the vista computers and she likes to abuse her "IT guy" (me).  So it is certainly an annoyance.  I am convinced it is the printer driver, but I cannot prove it.
    Anything you want me to try, I would be willing to (except re-install windows... I ain't doing that for a printer).

  • New OfficeJet 8500 [A909g] crashes router on wireless

    Have a new OfficeJet 8500 [A909g]. Whenever I attempt to connect it to the Time Warner provided gateway [SMC modem/router] it causes the gateway to reset, knocking all my devices off the network. I know it is the printer because whenever it has the wireless radio off the network is perfect [it was also not an issue before the printer]. It cannot be a software issue, since I don't even get to the point of installing the software before the network crashes.
    Is this a typical issue with these printers? I may try a new router, but I don't know any reason a printer would cause a router to reboot. 

    Call tech support and get a level 3 or 4. I had a similar problem with my 8500 pro wireless and 2wire 1800hg (ATT DSL router/modem). Printer came Friday from Cost Central, took it out of the box, atually read the instructions, and did the wireless wizard on the printer. Entered my router/modem's 10 number WEP and the thing became possessed. Told me to turn it off then on, then gave me "Improper Shutdown" error. Over and over. Did partial resets, partial full resets. You name it. Was about to throw the thing out the window. So I turned off the radio and hooked up via USB. No issues. But I wanted wireless.
    Called HP support and the first few calls were a bit rough (I love how you become connected to a rep and all you hear is typing for five minutes), but finally got a level 3 or 4, and they were sharp. He accessed my computer via HP's Live Help, and re-configured my router. Thank god every pic on my hard drive is G rated! I think they enabled DHCP on the router, then reduced the range of allowable IPs for my network, from 144 to 25. Then I was told to enter the printer's IP (I chose from one of the IPs in the range), and Subnet address. This was done on the printer under Network/Advanced settings. The tech guy was chatting with his supervisor during the process, it was a clinic in how to get a solution. Finally, he installed the drivers and the thing started working wirelessly. Then I installed on my laptop and it's a miracle. I had visions of sending it back to HP and getting a refurb. Unfortunately, I bought online to get a better price, so had to deal with HP for returns. 
    I told the tech guy that this model just hit the shelves at Best Buy (it's been at Office Depot for almost a month), so folks with older routers will problably have similar issues. 

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g seems to destroy printheads

    My wife and I have identical “HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series” (S/N: [Edited for Personal Information] for my printer) printers bought within several months of each other. We have owned the printers since late 2009.
    My printer quit printing cyan completely and magenta partially. I replaced both ink cartridges, which did not fix the problem.  I then removed the printheads and cleaned the electrical contacts with denatured alcohol and also cleaned the contacts in the printer.  This did not fix the problem either.
    So I “borrowed” the printheads from my wife’s identical printer and placed it into my printer. That didn’t fix the problem either.  When I put the borrowed printheads back into my wife’s printer, it immediately displayed the same symptoms as my printer (it wouldn’t print cyan at all and partially did not print magenta.
    The “Self Test Diagnostic Page” of both printers state that the printheads are “Good” in both printers.
    During the “Align Printer” task, the LCD on the printer displays a message indicating that the printhead(s) are bad.
    Question: is it possible that the printer itself is faulty and causing the printheads to permanently not work correctly?
    Second Question: If my printer is bad, what other similar models of all-in-one printers use the same ink cartridges?

    Hello Neil-in-Tucson,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the Printheads on your printer.
    Are you seeing any error codes on the printers display screen?
    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.
    If you like, you can try 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. They will be able to get into more detailed troubleshooting.

  • ITunes/Airport Utility Windows cannot connect to Airport Express

    I really hope someone can help me with this since I have spent 2 days trying to get my new Airport Express to stream music with no luck yet.
    I have a wireless network using Netgear WGR614 with WPA security settings. The AE has V6.3 firmware update and I used the Airport Admin 4.2 to set it up. I tried all the recommendations here and connected the AE to the router LAN port using ethernet cable and did a factory default reset. I then configured it to join my existing wireless network providing the WPA details.
    That is when the problem starts. After successfully updating and rebooting the AE shows solid green LED. However, using Airport Admin to connect fails intermittently with error -6753 asking me to check my network settings even though they are fine. If I try a few more times, it connects and I am able to enter and modify settings. When doing another update, it again fails with error -6753, but a few retries later, it does go through. Note that all this time, the ethernet cable is still connected to the AE even though it is setup to connect to my wireless network.
    Now, I unplug and relocate my AE near my stereo - it starts up fine and shows solid green light. My router "attached devices" page indicates that the device is connected with the DHCP ip address of 192.168.0.3. However, when I now try to use Airport Admin, it ALWAYS gives me the connection error -6753. The AE shows up in iTunes, but when I connect to it, it just hangs and after a minute or so, just gives up and goes back to the "Computer" speaker.
    I tried to do a ping on the ip address, and it gives me "Request timed out". I thought maybe it is my laptop interfering so I did ensure that I turned off ALL firewalls, but the problem still remains.
    So in short, AE seems to be joined and connected to my existing wireless network (green light), but neither Airport Admin nor iTunes nor ping utility can even communicate with it; and it seems to be due to the error -6753. I have tried pretty much every advise regarding connecting via wired etc. and nothing seems to work. This is not a wireless interference issue too, because the error also appears when connected via cable.
    Any help really appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. Here is an update:
    I tried to connect to the AE from another windows laptop...and it worked. So it seems that it is only my laptop that cannot connect to the AE. The only difference is that I used my laptop to initially connect to the network created by the AE, and after that I could never get it to connect.
    Interestingly, when I did manage to get into the AE and check its log, here is what I find...

    The administrative access denied is pointing to my laptop, whereas the connection accepted was the other laptop from which everything works. So it seems that the AE is specifically not allowing my laptop to talk to it! Given that my AE is being connected in Client mode, there are no settings I can access to see why it has singled my laptop out.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
