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
Jenko

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.

Macbook causes Linksys wireless router to crash

My daughters Macbook causes the Linksys wireless router to crash. I've already loaded the latest Linksys firmware but it did not help. It's the only computer that causes the router to crash. I have used several other non-Apple systems on the network without any problems.
I think it's something that the Macbook is transmitting out but haven't pinpointed what it is and how to fix it.
Any ideas on how to get her Macbook to work on our network wirelessly?

Welcome to the discussions!
What you are asking is if the Linksys can broadcast a wireless signal to the AirPort Extreme and then have the AirPort Extreme connect to the G4 using ethernet.
The short answer is "no". For more details, please read on.
This is not possible because the ethernet ports are not active on the AirPort Extreme in this type of configuration. The ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme would only be active if the device were configured to "extend a wireless network".
But, the AirPort Extreme can only "extend a wireless network" from another Apple device as it is not compatible with the products of other manufacturers for this purpose.

Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
Hope that helps.

Connecting my macbookpro to a printer via wireless router

my printer (hp deskjet 930c ) is connected to my pc network through a wireless Router (Edimax) I want to connect my new macbook pro via the wireless router to the same printer (as my old macbook pro which was stolen was connected). Could anyone help me? I don't know basic things like what is the IP # etc. But I can surf the web (I guess through the wireless...?)
Thanks

Well, why not start by telling us what the problem is and what you've tried so far.

Slow initial connection to internet via wireless router

Hi,
I have a D-Link Xtreme N 450 wireless router that I used with a MacBook Pro running 10.9.3. When I first open the computer, the internet quickly connects (I can surf, get email, etc), but after a few seconds it disconnects, searches for a wireless router, and then gives me the exclamation point in the wireless icon. It stays down for a 1-3 minutes, then mysteriously reconnects. I've looked everywhere for a solution and cannot seem to find one. I ran wireless diagnostics and got one error message that may be the problem - it says a nearby wireless router has the wrong country code and could be causing problems. But has anyone else had this issue or think they know of a potential solution?
Thanks!

am in the DFW area using Verizon Fios - I have a D-Link DIR-655 router and a 24" Imac running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I purchased the Apple Airport router thinking the problem with internet speed might be my router. This was not the case - every computer in the house was much slower using the Airport - so I returned it to my Apple store.
I have now switched off the bluetooth and airport on my Mac - it is hooked straight into the router and every day at about 6:00 it slows down to turtle speed while my other 2 laptops that are wireless in the house and much older - are lightening fast.
I have called Verizon and had them out - they say there are not enough people on Fios to create any traffic problems at certain times of the day - which I believe being that the Apple Imac is the only computer with the problem.
I have downloaded Firefox and have the exact same problem.
There has got to be some solution for this - my speed checks out very fast during this time - T2 speed for download and upload - I'm ready to throw this apple out the window.

Connecting to the web via wireless router trouble

Hi,
I have had a Mac Book Pro, OX 10.8.4 for a couple of months. Until about 10 days ago I had no problem connecting to the web through a wireless router. Also connect via iPad and iPhone through the same router without any problems, both are fast, much much faster then the mac book which can't seem to fully open a page if it connects at all.
There are 2 things that I think this might be due to.
I had an app update reminder for OX which I installed and about the same time I installed a Java runtime thing. my work from home connection needs it but it didn't work.
Does anyone know if either of these things might be the reason for the problem and if so what I need to do to resolve the issue?

Allow me to add to this...
I'm now on my third mini (Core Duo). To their credit, the folks at the Apple Store (Towson, MD) have been very kind -- they took the second mini back without even testing it and issued me the third.
Here I sit, with the Mini six inches from the Airport base station, and the signal is varying from 1 to 3 bars. My Powerbook, nearby, is getting full signal (as it should).
Just got off the phone with the manager. He's clearly sympathetic, but he has asked me to bring it back in for testing.
I'm about as hardcore an Apple head as they come -- in fact, I had a letter to the editor published last week condemning Baltimore County schools for dropping Macs. I kept an entire art department at a major magazine from switching to PCs several years ago. I've been responsible for sending tens of thousands of dollars to Cupertino over the past decade.
I really hope Apple corporate does the right thing.

How to setup and print USB001 via wireless router

Hello,My printer M1136 MFP was able print via usb001 port on RT_N13U_b1 wireless router..this enable me to scan and print without any queue print errors..Now the problem is.. due to recent system setup i removed the printer and tried to re-add. Now am not able to print via usb001 errors but direct usb hardconnect to my system can print and scan ..I've forgotten the steps in the first place how i did the set-up by chance to print via usb001 on wireless router. TCP/IP print works but with queue errors more than 3+ print jobs. I want to setup to print via usb001 through my wireless router, so that i can do a scan wirelessly since tcp/ip always gives error due to multiple queues....but didnt encounter any queue errors on usb001 setup. How can i setup to print via usb001 on my wireless router?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot setup your HP Laserjet Pro m1136MFP on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, and page 39, of your printer's user guide, states this printer can only be direcly connected to the computer with the USB printer cable. The M1210 Series Laserjet, can connect to a network but not the M1136 MFP Laserjet printer. Hope this answers your question, and have a nice day! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

P2055dn no longer connects via wireless router

I recently replaced my wireless router, an ancient Airport Extreme, with a Linksys WRT120N, not exactly state of the art but still an improvement. At first I couldn't connect to my p2055dn, which I plugged into the router. It no longer showed up as a Bonjour printer when I tried to add it. Then I changed the network mode setting on the router from Wireless-N to Mixed, which got the printer to show up as a Bonjour printer. I then added it and all was well. Now, however, the printer is again not showing up at all. I can still print directly with an ethernet cable to the printer but not wirelessly. The only thing that has changed is that I had to reinstall OS X 10.10.3, but I don't see why that should have changed anything, particularly since the printer is no longer showing up on our other computers. My inclination is that the problem has to do with the router settings but maybe there's something I can configure on the printer to get it to play nice with the router? Any suggestions very welcome.

OK..
I don't know if this is going to work for all 3 of you or not. Josephlee this might work for you, since you have AT&T DSL. Then again, it might or might not work for any of you. I am currently a BellSouth DSL customer. I had to set my modem to "bridge mode" before being able to use my Linksys WRT54G to access the internet. I can't explain how to set your DSL modem to "bridge mode." Your internet service provider will have to do that. If any of you can get your modem set to "bridge mode" I can give you some advice...
If you can get your DSL modem (Verizon, AT&T, Bellsouth, etc.) set to "bridge mode" this should help you out. By setting your modem to bridge mode, this allows your Linksys router to control all internet access. Basically it opens up your DSL modem to allow any and all internet access straight through it, just like opening a water line. If your modem is set to bridge mode, let's continue...
Open Internet Explorer or whatever web browser you use. Go to http://192.168.1.1 to access your Linksys router's dialog. Hopefully you know the user name and password. The default (factory settings) are:
username: <<< leave blank
password: admin
If you make it this far..
You will be at the Setup/Basic Setup tab
Internet Connection type you want is PPPoE
User Name: is the current login for your DSL account
Password: is the current password for your DSL account
(Remember that your router [not DSL modem] is controlling your access)
Select: Keep Alive and leave default (Not Connect on Demand)
Click on Save (and follow on screen instructions)
Next navigate to the Status tab
Once there, you should see Login Status. It should be Disconnected.
Click the Connect button.
Click Save if prompted. (and follow on screen instructions)
Now.. close ALL browser windows.
Re-open your web browser and check for internet connectivity. Some computers may require a reboot. My Win XP Pro doesn't.
I pray that helps you guys out!

Cannot print to printer on ethernet lan via wireless router

Hi,
Apple Macbook connected via Airport running class A network 10.0.0.X, which is connected to a Netgear 4 port router running class C network 192.168.0.X. Also on this class C network is a LAN network printer and a Windows PC. The Netgear router is connected to the internet and the Apple Macbook can connect to the internet and can ping the printer connected to the Netgear router, but when it sends a print job to this printer, the response is "Printer is busy. Will Retry in 30 seconds"
The windows PC can print to the network printer (both connected to the same netgear router) just fine.
the Macbook is running 10.4.11.
Please help.. and thanks in advance!

Network Printer Troubleshooting
Ping printer: If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.
If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Can I use a secondary display via wireless router?

I plugged a secondary display into my wireless router (Belkin). The display has several USB ports on it. I filled those USB ports with:
External hard drive (Toshiba)
Printer (Epson)
Mouse (??)
Keyboard (Dell)
The iMac found the hard drive, printer, mouse and keyboard instantly. I can access the hard drive perfectly from the iMac. The printer works perfectly from the iMac. The mouse also works perfectly from the iMac. The keyboard doesn't work yet, but at least it shows up on the iMac as an option.
Oddly the display itself does not seem to be recognized by the iMac. Any idea how to use the secondary disply via the wifi connection? The secondary monitor is a Dell.
Kris in NY

Well there is an "Air Display" app that will let one iMac use another device as a WIRELESS secondary display monitor (http://avatron.com/apps/air-display). What I keep finding is that the secondary display device seems to be a complete device (hard drive, flash memory, software, etc).
So an iMac CAN use another iMac or iPod or PC or Tablet as a secondary, wireless display device.
What I can't figure out is if a stand alone display device can be activated in the exact same manner. I have Air Display installed on my iMac, but there is no way to install similar hardware on a simple peripheral.
The secondary display has its own power source and is powered on. As I said the secondary display has several peripherals connected to it that can all be used wirelessly by the iMac. Only the display device between the wifi router and the peripherals cannot be detected. All the other hardware came on-line instantly.

Problem with Printing via Wireless Router - Samsung scx4300

Hi! I need your help:
I'm trying to install a new printer (samsung SCX 4300), via a wireless router (IP:192.168.0.1) but when adding it, it looks inactive and I'm nit able to print. Like if IP address is occupied. I use lpd + Ip address but Print and Fax system doesn't find it. I've already installed the most recent drivers. Any solutions?
Many thanks for your time!

HI,
Try here: Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable. This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

USB printer via wireless router

Hi All
I'm not exactly a newbie, however, this is a completely newbie question as far as what I know how to do. I've got TP-Link plugs connecting my PC, my daughters TalkTalk TV and my wireless router. Along with that the wireless router connects my wife and daughter's 'phone, tablet, laptop etc. Pretty standard setup and it works fine.
Where the issue comes is that I only have USB printers (Canon MP270 and HP F2180). Unfortunately neither of them are network enabled i.e. they lack a CAT5 socket, so I can't connect them via TP-Link plugs or equivalent. Ideally, because I have a couple of spare wireless routers, I'd like to be able to plug a second wireless router into the network and then access a printer, which would hang off the back, via any device in the house. This would mean that my PC doesn't have to be on whenever they want to use a printer. I did setup a server but they didn't like the messing about having to switch it on.
I can't hang the printer off the main router because my wife would never let me have a printer in the living room! I also can't move the router to my office because I don't have a telephone socket. Hence, the idea of using a second router to get a printer onto the network, via a TP_Link plug - I've experimented and I can sort of get it to work - seems a great solution. If only I knew how!
I'm asking in the Arch forum for a couple of darn good reasons: Archers tend to know more than anyone else in my opinion and the Arch Forum is the best there is (not brown nosing, it's just true).
So, a) is it possible and b) How do I, roughly, go about it?
Thanks
Richard

Using a RPI has another advantage, you could setup SANE to act as a server together with xinetd, that way everybody in the house can use the scanner too, could be a lot of walking, though
I seldom use the scanner, so I decided to keep that one local, on the PI.
Btw. Mine is also hardwired..
