Hp6700 Printer: can't connect to D-Link DI-514 Wireless Router when Broadcast SSID is set to NO.

HP6700 Printer:  can't connect to D-Link DI-514 Wireless Router when Router Broadcast SSID is set to NO. My MAC LapTop and HP LapTop both work with the SSID set to NO. If I change the Wireless Router to Broadcast SSID is YES, then the HP6700 Printer can connect to the Wireless Router. I setup the Printer telling it what the SSID and Password were, the same as both of my LapTops, but it never connects, unless I change the Router to broadcast the SSID. Help!
This question was solved.

Did you try updating the firmware on the DI-514?
You can also try setting a static IP on the printer, then assign the printer to the static DHCP list in the router interface.
To give your printer a static IP address:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you will have delete and re-add the printer on your Mac.

  • Hp Printer B110a not connecting to Mac Book Pro via wireless router.

    Help anybody, I am not sure which is the connection problem my MBP or the HP printer. Anyway here goes, I have spent the last five days trying to set up my 'wireless HP photosmart All in one printer B110a'. 
    I have followed all the installation set up correctly but when it comes to the wireless IP settings configuration page, at set up wireless network, I unplug the USB cable from the MBP and printer as instructed by the installer and I keep getting a message saying: 
    DEVICE NOT REACHABLE
    The network configuration was successfully downloaded to the device. However to continue configuring the device in network, your Mac must have access to the device. So please make sure that your Mac has access to the Network : "eircom66830833" and retry.[/b]
    I have checked over and over and my MBP is connected to this network otherwise I would not be able to access the internet and look at Mac Rumors at the moment.
    Not sure if it helps but my Router is a Zyxel model number: P-660HW-T1 v3, I live in Ireland and my internet service provider is 'Eircom'. I have been in touch with my service provider for some help but it was useless.
    Any information or advice would be appreciated I have been on the phone to technical advisers at HP which is a joke they are useless. I phoned them three days in a row for two hours each day six hours of useless help and buy the way never agree to a call back session as thy never call you back. 
    I phoned the apple care technicians on Friday and again no joy the tried everything even a fresh install of the Mac OSX. They said that if there was no further help from HP on Monday I should try and return it to apple but the technician was not sure if they would allow a return as it lapsed beyond the return date.
    Sorry for the long rant but this is no joke
    Thanks
    Kind Regards

    Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
    - Unplug the telephone line from the router
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
    - Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
    - On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Leave the gateway and DNS blank
    - Finally, plug in the phone line, reboot the router and test.

  • Win 2000 PC can't connect to a WEP enabled BEFW11S4 wireless router

    Hi,
    I just set up my wireless router to use WEP with 124 bits encryption. However, when I installed the WUSB11 wireless adaptor on a windows 2000 PC, it couldn't connect to the router and get an IP address. If I do an "ipconfig", it shows the "Cable Disconnected" state and no ip address.
    Could any one help?
    thanks very much.

    Thanks for your advice.
    However, I'm not sure where to enter the WEP key on a win2K PC. It doesn't ask for the key during the installation. In "Infrastructure mode", only SSID is required. In "Ad hoc mode", SSID and channel ID are required. But neither asks for the key.
    When installed in "infrastructure mode", it shows as "cable not connected". But if installed in "Ad hoc mode", the network connection is enabled and it tries to get an ip address, however, it fails to get a valid IP address from the wireless router (192.168 range) and returns with a 169.254 address.
    Seems that I missed a step somewhere to put the WEP key?
    many thanks.

  • Can't connect to the internet on a wireless system at school, but fine when I'm at home.

    Can't connect to the internet on a wireless system at school, but fine when I'm at home. All semester, there was no problem getting on the wireless system at school.  I had a problem, put in my school log-in and password and saved it in keychain.  Since, that time I have been unable to connect to the wireless system at school.  I delete this action out of "Keychain" and went to "Preferences" and deleted the "Keychain" action, but today at school I couldn't log in.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  MacBook; OS 10.5.8

    I think your best bet is to go to technical support at your school (hopefully you have one) and they will help you out. The only reason I can come up with as to why you are not getting wireless access is that your settings are wrong (need to turn airport on) or your computer is not registered into the university.
    Good luck.

  • Can't get e-mail to work using wireless router . . .

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to help my sister get her e-mail working. She is running a Macbook with 10.5. She is sharing an Internet connection with a PC, via a wireless router (a D-Link unit). The ethernet goes from the modem to the router, where it is hooked into the PC via cable. Her Macbook is accessing the router wirelessly via Airport.
    She can surf the net perfectly fine, however, she has no e-mail functions. When she tries to send or receive e-mails, she gets error messages about ports being unable to send or receive info. If she plugs the ethernet cable directly into her laptop (instead of going wireless), e-mail works perfectly fine.
    Any ideas where I can look? I played around for a couple of hours but couldn't come up with anything. I have no experience with networking, however, my hunch is that it's some sort of settings problem with the router that are preventing her e-mail from working in this setup. The bizarre thing is that everything was working fine a few days ago and then the e-mail servers went down with her ISP (neither the PC or Mac could get e-mail). When they came back up, the PC was able to run some self-diagnostic software and resolve it's e-mail issues, but the problems with the Macbook persist.
    We could simply just hook everything back up to "hard" wires through a switch, but she really wants the wireless functionality.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the response orangekay. As it turns out, they took back the router that they had bought and they picked up an AirPort Express station and now everything is working perfectly fine again.
    Still not sure what the exact problem was but my sister is happy with how things worked out

  • Trying to link with PC wireless router

    Hi I am newbie to the mac world but picked up a G3 relatively inexpensive (to test before going for a new mac) and I have installed an airport card into it with the adapter and I show that the airport card is working but it is not detecting my wireless router that my other 2 windows pcs are on. It is a Linksys wtr54gs that is wired with ethernet to my desktop pc and wireless to my dell laptop. I am really wanting to get this other pc up and running by this weekend so the kids can use it for back to school which starts next week. It displays that it is sending out a signal but it is not picking up my router. The smae spot in my kitchen where the iMac is my dell laptop gets a perfect signal so it is not that it cant detect there. Someone please help me!!!!!

    ...as on my dell laptop when i look to the connection it tells me it is hooked to my network called linksystwo
    That is no indication of whether the wireless router is broadcasting the network name or not. To connect, the PC must know the name. The PC displays the name of the network regardless of if this feature is enabled or not on the router.

  • What are the settings for connecting to a Mac behind a wireless router?

    I have a client with an iMac. His Mac connects to the internet through a wireless router which gets its signal from a cable modem. My Mac is running 10.6. The remote iMac is running 10.5.
    How do I configure my Mac (Administrator) and the remote iMac so a connection can be made using Remote Desktop.
    Thanks!

    In the AirPort Utility, I selected the Advanced tab, and then selected Port Mapping.
    Q: What service do I choose from the drop-down menu? Also, where do I enter the two ports you mentioned? Public UDP Port(s)? Public TCP Port(s)? Private IP Address: Private UDPPort Private TCP Port?
    still confused, I guess. Thanks!

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • Can not connect All in one 209b to new router for wireless printing....

    Have an HP laptop and All in one priner 209b.  All was working fine, wired and wireless printing.  Then we had to upgrade our ATT Uverse router.  Everything works...even wireless laptop and printer when connected to laptop.  However, can't get printer to printer wireless since it has the old router info.  I used the disk but when it asks to you to pick the printer, I choose the printer but it says printer now found ??? what ???? and this is with the cable connected.  I do not have the wizard on the touch screen but I did reset to factory settings hoping it would load new router info but it does not.  How do you manually enter router into for wireless printing.  Is it best to delete the printer and reinstall as new...wired and then wireless ???
    I am about to call an outsite company and pay the outrageous charge as the help on HP is not working.  Thanks

  • Can't connect over d-link, why? Is airport better?

    i just spent the evening trying to have a PBookG4 connect to the internet over a d-link 1310 wireless router with cable access.
    The computer sees the router and can configure it,
    the router is obviously connected to the net.
    but why can't the mac make that final step and connect to the net?
    I've had trouble before with an imac alum with d-link wireless where we had a windows that connected right away and our two macs couldn't.
    i also thought about getting and airport emitter, but reading these boards, the airport hardly seems worth the extra money. It it easier?

    How do you know the router has been able to establish a connection with your internet service provider? Is there another computer connected to this router that is able to access the internet? If not, try cabling your Mac to one of the router's ethernet LAN ports and see what happens - if the Mac still doesn't get an internet connection, you know the problem is between the router and your ISP.
    If the router isn't getting an internet connection, try pulling power to both your cable/DSL modem and router for five minutes or so. Then plug in the modem and wait a minute. Then plug in the router.

  • Samsung WiFi printer can't connect to new Quantum Gateway router?!

    We recently replaced our 3-year-old router with the latest Quantum Gateway router and upgraded fios speed from 25/25 to 50/50.  
    Every device (PC, phones, tablets, and TV) was able to connect to the new network.  BUT, our Samsung Wifi printer (M283x seriers) cannot connect at all.  With the older router, we were able to access the printer thru Wifi network from two different PCs.. 
    We did not relocate the router and we did not move the printer, so singal strength was not the issue.  We even uninstalled and then re-install printer driver to PC to set up the network again.  Tried every connecting option that Samsung had suggested, but everything failed.  
    We also tried to log in to Router Admin site to add this printer, didn't work.  WPS was turned on and we couldn't figure out why this new network doesn't add the printer. This router did not like our printer.
    One funny thing was that if we turned OFF all the security settings, the router allowed this device to connect to WiFi.  
    Can anyone help?  Thanks a lot!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a solution for you.  After upgrading to the Quantum Gateway last week, My Samsung 2835 printer had the same problem. It turns out that the printer doesn't play well with the Quantum Gateway when the Samsung "Wi-Fi Direct" function is enabled.  All you have to do is log in to the printer web page. Then, under Settings--> Network Settings--> Wi-Fi Direct... Turn Wi-Fi Direct off using the drop down menu.  Hit "Apply", then power cycle the printer. After this you can use WPS or manually configure the printer and it will connect right away.  Thank the Verizon technical guy J.W.  for figuring this one out by capturing the Wi-Fi traffic between the Gateway and printer.

  • My printer can not connect to WiFi if there are two or more APs with same SSID

    I tried to connect my printer to WiFi but failed.
    My network has more than 2 WiFi APs and all the APs have the same SSID and security settings.
    I found that the printer can connect to WiFi only if I left one AP on and turn all other APs off.
    Other devices like notebooks, smartphones all works fine with these APs.
    Any solution to solve this problem?

    No, I gave you a solution to try, you rejected it. BTW using channel 3, it is getting clobbered by all APs on channel 1 and channel 6. If you use channel 1, you only have other APs on channel 1 to contend with. That's why you should only use channels 1, 6 or 11 on the 2.4GHz band.

  • Can't connect to Blackberry Link with USB

    My Z10 will only connect to blackberry Link through Wi-Fi, when I turn Wi-Fi off and plug in with a USB cable it says not connected. I tried removing it then adding it again, reinstalled Blackberry Link, rebooting computer restarting phone nothing seems to work. I want to backup my phone but can only do it with a USB cable. If anyone has had this problem and solved it could the please help?

    Perhaps this is too late for those with the problems connecting Z30 via USB in BBLink.
    Anyway, the definitive solution is as follows: (this only applies to Windows)
    1. Uninstall the BB Desktop Software 7 (BBOS) from your computer, and have only BBLink. (it is said that you can run both BBOS Desktop as well as BBLink on the same pc however, if you do, BB10 devices will only connect through Wi-Fi and won't be able to back up. this is because the BBOS Desktop driver has priority over USB network interface.
    2. Once BBOS Desktop is uninstalled, then turn the wi-fi 'off' in your BB10 device, then turn off the BB10 device, then connect the said device via USB, and when you do this, your computer will automatically pick up the driver from your BB10 device, and your device may reboot (if not just turn it on and wait couple of minutes).
    3. Open BBLink, and wait for the password prompt screen to log into your BB10 device.
    That's it, all done. Thanks!

  • New MacBook Pro can't connect to D-link router

    Hi everyone! I just upgraded from an early 2007 MacBook Pro to the latest 15" MacBook Pro with Core i7 chip. Did a full migration with the Migration Assistant. Everything went fine. Could connect effortlessly with my Airport Extreme Base Station at home. However at work, I use a D-link wireless router. And somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it!! I see my office network on the list when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar but when I attempt to connect to it, I get a connection time out error. The office network is also in my Network pref pane under "Preferred Networks". But somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it. I've already tried turning the Airport off and on again. Re-starting the computer. Re-starting the router. Nothing works.
    My old MacBook Pro was fine with the D-link router but this new computer seems to be rather cranky.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Strange thing happened. Today the D-link router suddenly decided to work with my MacBook Pro!! I did not do anything or make any changes to any settings. Multiple re-starts yesterday failed to yield any results. And yet today it is working!! I have absolutely no idea why.
    Perhaps the hardware is "shy" and needs multiple "introductions" before it wants to come out and play. Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, as long as it works and stays working, I'm happy!
