HP Officejet Pro 8610 does not connect to laptop via wireless network

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is connected wirelessly to my home network. My laptop, running Windows 7, is connected to the same network, but cannot find the printer. I have tried turning everything off and resetting the router, but still have the same issue - my laptop cannot find the printer.
I am able to email a document from my laptop to the printer using the printer's email address.
What can I do to get my laptop to find the printer on the wireless network?

Hey!
This is an issue with your wireless, you either have to get your router looked at you are looking at relocating your printer and your router so they are closer together. If you are able to connect all of your devices to the network fine when you are in the same room; Call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

Imac will not connect to Internet via wifi or Ethernet since upgrade.

since the upgrade to Yosemite I am unable to connect to the Internet via wifi or Ethernet. All my other devices ipad/IPhone 6 work fine so issue is not with ISP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I Have tried starting in safe mode and my internet works fine. But I lose all connectivity after reboot into normal mode.

IMac does not connect to wifi on boot

I own an iMac and run it with OS X 10.7.5. Ever since system update 10.7.3 (February 2012) my mac more often than not does not connect to wifi on boot. I have to select diagnostics and connect manually. I did a design of experiment and have now discovered that I do not have this problem if I wait about a minute to log in after the login prompt displays. I like my mac for it's fast startup. It is a shame to have to wait unecessarily for it to connect to wifi before logging in. I kenw this was a problem with the system update and this confirms it. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to wait?

It has been a month now and waiting a minute always works for connecting to my airport extreme on boot. I was cleaning behind my desk and realized that the ethernet cable was still attached to the back of the iMac even though I had moved the airport upstairs. I disconnected it. I also opened network preferences. The wifi was moved a long time ago to the top for priority, but the inactive ethernet and firewire were still listed. I removed both the ethernet and firewire so the only connection listed is wifi. My computer has now found the internet on 4 consecutive boots without waiting. It appears that having the other two options disrupts the connection process on boot. I will continue checking over the next week and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

ITouch - does not connects to Internet

Recently upgraded my itouch 2G with iOS4.
Now, whenever I try to connect to my office Wifi, iTouch connects to wifi, shows good signal strength, but it DOES NOT connects to Internet. Safari always gives error '..not connected to Internet'.
I tried following until now:
- Restart itouch by holding sleep/wake button
- Resetting 'Network Settings' in Settings -> GEneral -> Network
- Forget this Network...
- Also, tried 'Renew Lease' option in Wifi network settings
I am able to easily connect to this Wifi on my laptop. Also, few days back I could connect to Wifi on my itouch, now suddenly it stopped connecting to Internet.
Please help. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nitu

Sounds like you don't have a3rd generation model.
Look on the back of your iPod Touch and tell uswhat number is there.
Here are the Apple numbers:
iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
I am guessing that you have a 2nd generation.

Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network

I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

Tbox not connecting to internet via router

I installed the new Tbox this week. Once installed, I connected to my wireless FrtizBoz router and all was working fine. I went online and registered for Presto and after a short time Presto was available and we watched a couple of movies. The next day it was working fine into the afternoon but that evening we could not access Presto. A warning indicated no internet connection available and when I went to setup there was a red cross shoing no router connection. My home computer network and my Blueray player all access the internet via the same router and all are functioning correctly with full intenet access. When I go to the wifi setup, I see my router in the list, I can attemt to reconnect and I see the password I had entered previously. I tried rebooting the TBOX, the Router and re-entering the password but I cannot get the connection to work any more. The wifi hardware is obviously operating as it can list the available routers (and mine is listed), but continues to give error of no internet access when attempting to connect. This thing lasted 24 hours and stopped. Nothing was changed in the router or the TBOX in that period. Any help much appreciated. please email [email protected] Regards David

Is this the reset where you press the reset button 5 times? In this case, will I need to set up the Presto accont user names and password again? The Router (FrtixBox) is sitting in the kitchen about 3m from the TBOX. The other 45 wifi devices are scattered around the house and all working perfectly fine. When you say to use another wifi channel, do you mean I remove the router (I must disconnect it from internet to be able to plug into a computer) and then plug it into LAN port of computer and run the setup to change the channel in the router itself? If I do this, will the passwords set up on the other 5 devices still be valid for the new channel when I plug the trouter in again?

IMac will not connect to safari or firefox after new hard drive

Apple store just put a new hard drive in my iMac. My time machine had all my previous info stored so I downloaded it and transferred all my old info. Now the iMac will not connect to the Internet? My Internet is running and I have tried to reset safari with no luck? Please help.

If you know for sure, that your Internet connection is OK, check the status of the connection on your Mac. Got to system perferences and open the Network applet. What is the status of your Ethernet or wireless connection. Is is set to get an ip address via DHCP? Is is showing any IP/Subnet/Router addresses? If you're not sure what to do, click on the "Assist me" button on the bottom of that window...Hope this helps.

Can't connect to internet via wireless

I am unable to connect to the internet via wireless on a consistent basis I can ping my router every time though. When the internet works it seems to be completely random. I tried some fixes posted on the forums for problems similar to mine like, setting my default gateway and using open dns servers, but neither of those fixes seemed to help with my set up. Any ideas?
My wireless card uses the Ralink rt 2760 chipset. Thanks

What are the characteristics of the wireless networks to which you are trying to connect?
Are they managed or ad-hoc?
Are they WEP?
Are they WPA?
If the link is encrypted but the NIC isn't, the NIC will associate with the network and a ping will work, but any packet containing actual data (like a DHCP request, any TCP or UDP request, SNMP, etc... ) will fail.
As a quick test, if you have administrative rights to your access point, turn off WEP and WPA and see if you can connect. I advise you turn encryption back on when you are done with the experiment.

HT1338 I wanted to set my Safari to open links in tabs instead of windows. I have gone to safai preferences and chose the correct setting to always open in Tabs. The setting does not seem to work. I have logged of then logged back in but still every link

I have gone to Safari preferences and have made the selection in TABS to open links in TABS instead of Windows. I have chosen "Always".

BT Home Hub 5 does not connect to internet - red f...

Hello,
We recently switched from BT broadband to BT Infinity 2, on Thursday the 11th to be exact, but our Hub 5 cannot connect to the internet.
The story goes as this:
- The 11th was the last day of our broadband and the day of activation of BT Infinity
- The engineer came at one to set everything up at 1pm
- When he finished our laptops connected to the Hub but the speed was very slow. We told the engineer and he said that it is indeed extremely slow for Infinity (6,4Mb) and although some customers do report slower speeds not as slow as that.
- Late in the afternoon we lost connection completely and a red flashing light was on
- At 9.30pm I received a text saying out BT Infinity is now live
- Red flashing light has been on since then. I turned it off and on again, reset it, restored it to the original settings. Once it goes on, the green light flashes, then the blue light comes on for 15 seconds, and then the red light starts flashing. The red 'b' comes on from time to time too.
- Last night I went to my Hub page and checked the Information page. The information that looked troubling is:
1. Product name:             BT Home Hub
2. Serial number:              +068343+NQ43237799
3. Firmware version:       Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A) Last updated Unknown
4. Board version:              BT Hub 5A
5. ADSL uptime:                0 days, 00:54:54
6. Bandwidth:    1044 / 7434
7. Data sent/received:   0.0 MB / 0.0 MB
- It does not look like an infnity connection. I checked the hub again, tested the line etc. I even connected my old Hub 4 which is not working. It actually does the same thing my BT Hub 5 does, green first, blue for 15 seconds and the red flashing light.
- I called BT today. I told them everything I noticed it. All they said, it looks fine from our end, the internet was activated, but yes we can see there is a problem. We will send an engineer.
From what I can see the only reason we had internet on Thursday was because our broadband was still live. That will explain the really slow speed. Once we switched to Infinity no connection. The Hub page shows a very limited bandwith and ADSL...? Shouldn't ADSL actually be VDSL?
Can anyone please help? The engineer is coming, but I have very little faith that the matter will be resolved. Especially after the first one said everything looked ok, but call BT for the slow speed. And when I called BT it felt like someone was just reading a script.
Would the problem be our wiring? Or would BT not have switched something on?
Thank you
Evi

can you enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html

Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

ITunes content not visible when connected to internet via wireless

I have been having problems with my Apple TV. It did not show any iTunes Store content. After some considerable attempts at reconfiguration, I finally restored to factory settings and I still could not connect to the internet via my airport extreme wireless network. I therefore ran an ethernet cable instead and all the itunes store content appeared and I was able to sync with my Macbook Pro. I then looked at the network configeration using the ethernet recorded the settings and took the cable out. Then reconnected using the wireless connection, initally it could not connect to the internet but then I went through the manual connection and set the settings using DCHP and it then connected but once again there is no iTunes store content, if I reconnect the iTune store content comes back as does the uTube and internet radio both of which also disappear if I try and go wireless. Any thoughts?

are you connecting to the same router for the ethernet and wireless connections?

E4200 router does not connect to internet.

I recently bought a Linksys 4200 router and a ZyXel P660 wireless ADSL modem.
already several days I try to configure this combination so that I can reach the internet and have a wireless network in my home for multi media streaming. But in vain.
Yesterday I had a chat with the linksys support org. and I was advised to put the ZyXell in the bridge mode and the Linksys as router taking care of all authentication and routing functions.
When I put the ZyXell in bridgemode I need to fill out for encapsulation: RFC1483 or PPPoA?
When using PPPoA I need to input a username and password but that I have already in the linksys (PPPoE). But in both cases I do not have an internet connection. When I just use the ZyXEL as modem and connect to my laptop I do have internet.
What am I doing wrong??
ZyXel Lan IP is 192.168.2.1 , dhcp disabled, Linksys Lan IP 192.168.2.2, dhcp enabled

Try the following settings:
1] Access the router’s web-based setup page by 192.168.1.1.
2] On the Setup tab, select Automatic Configuration – DHCP for Internet Connection Type. Then change the value of the 3rd box on the IP Address field. Make it to 192.168.1.1
3] Click Save Settings.
4] On the setup page, click Wireless and create the Network Name (SSID).
5] Then Click Wireless Security and select the Security Mode for the Wireless Network.
After doing all these configuration try to connect your wired and wireless devices and check the connection status.

HTC Rezound Will not Connect to Internet via Mobile Network

Hi,
I recently provided my phone to my youngest son so I went to Verizon and got a new sim card and had them set it up. Everything worked for about a week or so. Now the phone will not connect to the internet via the mobile network. The only way he can connect to the internet is via the WiFi.
I have checked all settings and it all seems fine. I also did 2 factory resets and still no go. I removed the Sim card, booted up phone and turned back off, re-installed the sim card and booted again. Still same problem. Signal strength is good but the 4g or 3g doesn't show up like it used to. When I click on internet it says network not available and tries to bring up the WiFi.
Do I need a new Sim card? Is the phone messed up? Anyone have any idea?

I was having the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy. After reading some other threads, I removed my original SIM card and started up the phone until the home screen tells you the SIM card is missing (Emergency calls only). Switch it off, put the SIM card back in and restarted the phone. Got my mobile internet (4GLTE) coverage straight away.
Hope if works for you too!
Good luck.

My iMac does not connect to internet via wireless after I log in. I have to open network preferences and run the assistant everytime to make it work. Its a new system, updated to Mountain Lion,.
