My HP7280 all in one can't find my wireless router

My HP Photosmart C7280 all in one can't find my wireless router even after I enter my WEP key and ESSID. My other computer is wired into the printer and it works but not wireless. Can anyone help me?

Is the other computer wired with USB? if so that is fine. If it is wired with Ethernet, that is the source of the wireless problem.
What router? Oh, and don't use WEP, it is not in the least secure. I recommend changing your router settings to WPA, create your own password and then try to connect the printer.

My Toshiba Laptop , can't find my wireless router

My toshiba Satellite L500D Laptop , after 9 months after it was bought , can't find my wireless router anymore . I had a look over the internet and have worked out the problem is connected to the wireless finder and it won't fix because the combinatio Fn + F8 is not working ??? I really need help please !!
So far i have tried Following the laptop help and troubleshooting methods (COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME) i have tried what worked for some people to do with the flash cards.....

Let me see if I can help.
The Flash cards usually do not fail once installed. For FN/F8 to work you need to have the right utility. Also you need to have working and properly enabled Wireless devices. If they are not then you will not have this option.
Is your wifi actually working. Does it see any Access Points? Can you go to Device Manager to see if the Wifi is not banged out? Not sure but you can check to see if there is a wifi switch on the computer. Look around the edge. Some machine have this switch to enable the antenna.
When you say Flash cards do not work. Is it the FN/F8 only or all cards. FN (F1-F9). If they do not work reply back and I will try to help you with the flash cards and then work on your wifi problem.
Good Luck,

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it.

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it. I ran the diagnostics and got "The wireless radio is not functioning" message. In what device is the wireless radio located? In the router? In the printer? I reset the router, did the #6 with the printer, but I am still unable to connect my wireless Macbook to the printer. My desktop Mac is connected to the printer with a cable and prints fine. Is my router messed up or my printer?
This question was solved.

Just call HP, they can walk you through the options based on what is wrong with your printer.

Printer can't find my wireless router

My printer was working fine until I printed something from my laptop? Since then I cannot print anything from any device. I ran a wireless network test report and a HP Network Configuration page and the error message says "Your HP Printer cannot find your wireless router. Check that your wireless router is powered on (which it is). Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your wireless router name name (SSID) exactly. If they don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer.
Please help.
Thank you!

Hey @gppapi,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the network communication issue that you're experiencing when printing from your Mac OS X 10.6 computer to your HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Printer. Because your Wireless Network Test Report indicates that the printer cannot find the Wireless Router, I am going to have you run some standard network troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Powercycle Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments the internet connection will return. Please check on your computer and verify that you can browse to websites before continuing.
Step 2: Check Connectivity:
On the front panel of your printer select the Top button to go to the Scan Options
Press the Top Button to go to the Wireless Menu
Select Print Network Configuration
Take note of the IP Address
On your Mac, open the internet browser
In the address bar type in the printers IP Address. Do not include www.
Search to that website
If a website for you printer opens: This indicates that your printer and computer are 'talking' over the wireless network. Please try to print. If printing now works, than your router was blocking communication. This may have been caused by a router update. Usually powercycling the router resolves this issue. Should the issue return, there may be settings on the router that need to be adjusted.
If a website for your printer fails to open: This indicates that the printer and computers are not 'talking' over the network. To resolve this issue please follow the steps below.
Step 2: Restore Defaults:
On the front panel of your printer select the Top button to go to the Scan Options
Press the Top Button to go to the Wireless Menu
Select Restore Network Defaults
Once the restore is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Reconfigure Wireless:
Connect a USB Cable from your printer to your Mac
Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
Run the installation and when prompted choose that you want to configure wireless
Select your Network Name SSID and enter the Wireless Password (key) when/if prompted
Once the wireless is configured, please test printing again.
Please let me know if these troubleshooting steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

Apple TV can't find Xfinity wireless router

Hello,
we have a Mac Book Pro, 2 Iphone's, 2 IPad's and 2 Apple TV's. All devices are connected wireless to the router ACCEPT 1 Apple TV!! I can't figure out why it's not working. Well it was for a few weeks...after an update for the Apple TV is wasn't anymore.
General>Network>WiFi>...nothing..it show's OTHER, click on other to enter the router name manually, can't find...with Ethernet is works just fine..
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Andrea

You need a wireless base station or wired hub. My best guess is that you computer is directly connected to the internet via direct connection to your dsl or cable modem. You need to insert an apple Airport, Airport express, or wired hub. The Apple support page has a lot of info about the use and istallation of LANs (Local Area Network). Page 14 of this manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ManagingAirPort_Extreme_Networksv3.4.pdf) shows the topology of a LAN network.
Best of Luck!

Hi there T&P63385!
Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing. I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work. Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr" hangs-up at "network check" for hours. Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network. Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.

Does the hp deskjet f380 all-in-one can work on a mac os x 10.7.5 ?

does the hp deskjet F380 all-in-one can work on a mac os x 10.7.5 ? I bought my all-in-one F380 in october 2007 and I would like to use it on my new computer Mac OS X 10.7.5 bougt in december 2011. The DVD from 2007 seems to be unavailable now on my computer. Can you provide me a new way th install the F380 ? Thanks in advance,

Update:I use mac OS 10.10, but i scrolled down in the driver download menu and selected mac OS 10.6. There I downloadedHP Deskjet PSC and office jet full feature software and drivers v 10.3. This gave me access to full feature software including utility, customer partcipation and scanner software. HP printer software V. 3.1 then automatically downloaded when i clicked apple update in the application store. Interestingly however this is not the version mentioned in the software I use though. Post download, the version of the printer driver mentioned for Deskjet F380 is v2.05 and the version for the utility software is 5.24.2 valid till 2015. Now both my HP Deskjet F380 and HP PSC 1310 all-in-one PRINT Thanks HP! ISSUES: HOWEVER neither can SCAN! while the F380 shows a scanning error, the PSC 1310 doesn't even pop up as a selectable device to scan with! PLEASE FIX THIS HP! FAST!!

Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

Hello all,
My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline. I would remove the device through the control panel and search again. A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device. I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work. This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
Now nothing is working. The printer can't be found by my network. I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
Although the printer has a built in network set up option, it has no installation wizard. I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon. There is no I.P. address either.
I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana! I appreciate your help.

Hey @Kathlanta ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

How do I connect my HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer - J410a to a wireless connection

I have a
HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer - J410a
I am connected to a computer but would also like to connect it to my laptop wirelessly.
Can't do it. Must be doing something wrong. Need help thanks.

Hi @5468,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to connect your HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer - J410a to a wireless connection. I am happy to look into this for you!
According to your printer's specifications and the Setup Poster, this printer can only be connected to a computer via a USB 2.0 printer cable connection. This printer does not have wireless capabilities.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

Can't find *some* wireless networks

Hi
Have seen vaguely similar posts but couldn't quite follow. I've used my G4 powerbook to connect to a whole range of wireless networks using Airport and have never had a problem. However I was trying to connect to a wireless network at my local pub and couldn't do it. Airport couldn't find it, when I manually entered all relevant info (including password), it still wouldn't connect. Other laptop users, including others with Apples, don't seem to have a problem and they can't get my laptop to co-operate either. It can still find other wireless networks elsewhere with no trouble. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have the other apple users connected to the "hotspot" in the past? If so, their mac's may "remember" the settings of the network.
The network hotspot, as a security measure, may not broadcast the SSID and you may need to enter it manually, provided the hotspot "posts" it or gives it to your when you make a purchase. (I've seen a number of hot spots either post it near the register of give it to you after making a purchase to prevent users just accessing it without being a consumer of their products)
The hotspot may also encrypt the network, which they will usually provide as well.
I hope this helps!
P.S. There are several "Widgets" available for download that will identify if a network is available, but may not be broadcasting their SSID, this will help confirm that you are getting the signal, but just not the details in order to log in, one can be found here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airtrafficcontrol.h tml

My Windows XP AirPort util and Bonjour can't find any wireless device

I have both macbook and a PC laptop.
I just started using my TimeCapsula and all features (Internet gateway, access to the USB printer and the external harddisk) are visible and working fine when using my macbook.
My PC wireless card seems to be working fine too and I can access the Internet using the Airport gateway.
My problem is that Airport Util and Bonjour on my PC "can't find any wireless devices" (even though It is clearly working fine) and therefore don't detect/mount the external drive or the Printer.
Thanks!

How do your Extreme and Express connect to one another? Wired Ethernet between the two, or wirelessly?
Try unplugging the Express. Does that change anything?
Wireless interference could cause the symptoms you're describing. Even though you did nothing to your wireless network, the presence of other wireless networks or introduction of nearby devices will bring interference where there was none before.
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of interference for wireless devices and networks
Try changing wireless channels; use "automatic" unless you have reason to use a specified channel. Try checking "interference robustness". Altering these settings may help, but they could make things worse.
If you are unable to configure a device over Airport, or changing a setting leaves you unable to configure it wirelessly, connect its Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port and Airport Utility should find it.
As a last resort, try a "hard reset" followed by re-configuring the Extreme, Express, or both. Start by removing your Express from the network. Re-configure the Extreme and see if that fixes things. If it does, add the Express to your network and re-configure it as well.
AirPort troubleshooting guide
I open airport utility ... can not locate any of my wireless devises, airport extreme base,, airport express, apple tv, wifi printer.
AirPort Utility will only detect Apple AirPort base stations (Extreme, Express, Time Capsule) for purposes of configuring them. It is not designed to detect or configure other wireless devices like your printer.

Hello Sashalechat,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
Have you changed the router for a new one?
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.
Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Write me back when you have time.
