New Hub 4 Wireless connection issue

Hi There
Looking for bit of help/advice.
I recently upgraded my router from the BT hub 3 to Hub 4.
I am having issues with my devices picking up wireless signals in certain parts of the house. Never had this issue with the Hub 3.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Can I use Hub 3 as a wireless extender? If so, help how to do this would be great.
Should I just return hub 4 and keep my old router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Nad

I doubt very much that it can be configured as a wireless repeater, very few routers can.
Did you see the BT options on my web page?

I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
Network setup:
Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
Wired Device:
Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
Wireless Devices:
Playstation 3
Macbook Air
iPhone 5c
iPhone 4
I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

_*My specifications:*_
*Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
*Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
*Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
*Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
* Internet access
* Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
* Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

Wireless connection issue, new HH2.0A

Hi again everyone.
We've recently upgraded to 'up to 20Mb' BB option 3 and got sent a new HH2.0A to go with it after being on the 1.5 for a few years but i seem to be having trouble with a secondary PC connecting by wireless.
The other PC is using a BT Voyager 1055 wireless dongle to connect, but it seems that the first time it connects after being turned off, it can't aquire an IP address so we have to keep repairing the connection until it picks one up, then it works fine until it's turned on again the next day.
I've tried setting the HH to give it a static IP address but the problem still happens. I've noticed the dongle utility says it's using WPA-PSK security whereas that isn't an option on the HH security page, only 'WPA' or 'WPA & WPA2'. Would that be causing the issue do you think?
I'm reluctant to change any hub settings too much as we are still within our 10 day line testing period and aren't up to full speed yet.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes, deleting the old connection was the first thing I tried but it didn't work. I'm going to try totally reinstalling the 1055 utility from the disk next I think.
I didn't even check the BTFon thing but the hub page says it's active so I guess it is transmitting. Would this have any effect on the problem or on my speeds as a whole?
I'm not sure if reinstalling will solve this, but go for it
If it says active, then you're part of BTFon - this will use a max' 512Kbps or your total speed when someone connects to it
It shouldn't affect your wireless connection

New MBP -- Wireless Connectivity Inconsistent (Despite MBP's Claims)

Have a new MBP, running 10.5.6 straight out of the box. All essential system updates have been downloaded and installed (one FCE update remains undownloaded). The Airport connection is tenuous -- it will stay connected to the internet for hours at a time, and then go out repeatedly. Every time it goes out, diagnostics claim it is connected, as does the Network dialogue in System Preferences, even when it is impossible to load any web page (or complete system update downloads!).
A few things:
1. At no point does the MBP indicate that it has lost a connection to the wireless network.
2. While internet connection is lost on MBP, I am still able to connect wirelessly with my Powerbook, implying that internet connection/router/ISP is not to blame.
3. I tried entering IP information manually, but to no avail. On a lark, I switched the IP address of the MBP with the PB, but PB continued to be able to connect to internet while MBP struggled.
4. While internet connection via my secure wireless network is lost on MBP, I am able to connect MBP to a nearby unsecured wireless network (presumably a neighbor's). I have purposely not maintained connection to this wireless network for long stretches (though I'm using it now to compose this query), so I don't know that the connectivity issues are absent when connected to it, but I have not experienced any inconsistency when connected to it, even in phases when I am experiencing inconsistency with my secure network.
5. My network is secured by way of a WEP 128-bit hexadecimal password. However, the settings under Network in System Preferences insist on calling it a WEP password, no matter how many times I change it to WEP 128 hex.
6. On a couple of occasions, when experiencing proper connectivity on my secure network, I have tried locking the Network settings in System Preferences. Paradoxically, doing this seems to immediately disconnect me from the internet.
That's all I can think of for now. This problem seems not unrelated to some other problems described in messageboards across the web, but I didn't see anyone outline the problem in the exact way that I've experienced it (nor have I seen a sure-fire solution posted to the problems I have read about).

Folks: *there may be a power/signal issue going on here.* I had a similar problem of my network connection dragging to practically nothing when hooking up my LaCie external drive to the USB port. Please see my post below (link and text)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9914924#9914924
Folks:
Apple needs to get on this issue fast; after turning off my N mode on my WRT160N Linksys Router, I got my packet speed back up to where it should be... HOWEVER I noticed another problem.
When I hooked up my LaCie external drive (connected via USB), my packets on PING practically stall to nothing. I then eject the external USB drive and re-ping and I get acceptable packet speeds; I re-connect the LaCie external drive to the USB port and my PING crawls to nothing.
There is CLEARLY a correlation between the network speed crawling to nothing while hooking up an external drive; possibly a power sink and/or signal interference on the Airport when hooking up a USB device? (or perhaps even Firewire 800 too?)
I sure hope Apple is reading this one, because this could be a MAJOR issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910. The HP Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

Macbook Fios Wireless Connection Issues

Hi everyone. All of a sudden today my Macbook is having issues connecting to my Verizon Fios Wireless Internet. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or is aware of any problems with compatibility or something. Any tips or advice? Thanks!

Finally got an answer! Thanks to all the folks I talked to, one of them taught me a little trick that I wanted to share. What worked was renaming the router, then making the macbook connect to it as if it was a new network - it connected and stayed online. Then renaming the router back and connecting to it again as it were a new network and it connected and has stayed connected. Hope this works for anyone else having this issue!

Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

Here is a lot more:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
- reseting pram, nvram and PMU
- installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
- Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
- putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
- applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
- upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
- changing AirPort channels
- enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
- disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
- removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
- running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
- buying new AirPort extreme cards
- replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
During troubleshooting I always have
Applications--->Utilities--->Console
and
iStumbler (96)
running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
From the Terminal I also run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
and usually see constant
AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
messages.
After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
This is what I found:
Environment at our office:
- wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
- wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
- wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
(WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
Test systems used:
- iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
- Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
- Intel iMac (10.4.5)
Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
Steps taken:
1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
select About AirPort...
pay particular attention to each system showing:
iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
First on the intel iMac:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
Now launch Terminal and:
mkdir backup-framework
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
Reboot iBook.
8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.

New TV wireless connection...

Just hoping to get some ideas from this..
I just bought a new television. It comes with a wireless adapter to connect to the home internet connection. So when I go into the setup, it can FIND my wireless connection, but always times out while trying to connect to it. Anyone have any experience with an issue like this?

The default encryption on your router is WEP. The WEP (encryption) key is on the service tag of your router.
In order for the TV to connect wirelessly to the router, you must set the encryption key on the TV to match the router.

BT Infinity - Wireless Connection Issues

I have had this product for over a year now, and I have to say it is amazing that I have lasted thislong without throwing the router out of the nearest window!!
Does anyone else experience such poor wireless connections??? i.e. up and down, up and down, up and down, all day long, any time of day, any day of the week. It is shockingly bad!!!
I've changed channels, I've paid for an engineer to check the connection point, even though it's exactly the same one, and in the same position that the engineer installed it.
I'm really at the end of my tether!
Anyone, care to offer any advice?
We are a family of 6, with many many gadgets, i.e. iPads, iphones, Xboxes, laptops, ipods, etc. are we being penalised for having too many wireless devices? Can the BT Infinity product only cope with a certain amount of wireless devices?
PLEASE HELP!!!

If you have tried all the wireless checks/changes ie moved the HH3 off Automatic onto a clear channel.
Inssider is a good free wireless scanner for windows, that can help identify a clear channel to move the HH3 to.
Inssider video HERE.
Then you may want to consider another route. I note in Ady wrote in msg #21 and 25 HERE.
"My Netgear WNDR3700 got delivered today................
WOW! - what a router!!!!
My laptop now connects at 150Mbps and stays like it, Xbox 360 and Apple TV 2 all work flawlessly on the Wireless Network.
What can I say - anyone having issues with the Home Hub 3, get this router, you will not be disappointed!!!"

Wireless Connectivity Issue with 802.11n.

We have a 5508 Controller and sixteen 1142 APs.
Several of our laptops were experiencing connectivity issues over Wireless. Older laptops that do not support 11n are not having any problems.
I disabled 802.11n for both 'a' and 'b/g' in the Controller. Now the newer laptops connect with no issues.
They would in fact connect to the APs while 11n was available, just no Internet Access - (cannot ping DG, etc). Disabling/Enabling the laptop WL adapter would allow brief access (sometimes), but they'd quickly lose Internet Access once again.
Our WLANs are configured for WPA2/AES.
This looks like a 802.11n configuration issue at either the Controller or the Laptops (or both). Both are using the Default settings for 801.11n.
Any recommendations for correcting this? Are there best practice guidelines for configuring 802.11n?
Thanks.
- Jay

Configure 802.11n on the WLC

HP Officejet Pro 8100 Wireless Connectivity Issue

Hi, I've just purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8100 and have not been able to connect via wireless to the home network. I've tried connecting to 3 different routers and no success. Steps I took were as follows.
Steps:
1. Insert Driver CD
2. Install HP Driver Software
3. Follow on screen prompt for wireless connectivity
4. Was prompted to connect USB cord temporarily
5. Prompted to select SSID
6. Prompted to enter WPA Security Key
7. Screen saying your printer failed to join the following Wireless network.
8. Humored myself and read all the troubleshoots. No good.
9. Downloaded and Flashed new firmware to Printer. New Firmware installed. Still did not help.
*One thing to note: On the Failure to connect to Wireless network Error on Step #7 it says something about MAC address filtering and to enable the above MAC address. The funny thing is there is no MAC address supplied above. The field is blank. All that aside, MAC address is disabled in the first place anyway. Just wondering why the printer software doesn't know the printers own MAC address.
Attempted to setup printer on the following routers...

If anyone could shed some light that would be great. Otherwise I guess ill be returning it very soon.

Now you know why you were unable to connect.
Absolutely. It should be broadcasting its own SSID.
This link goes to a factory reset document for your printer.
is your printer still in warranty?

HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Wireless connection issue.

We are using the HP 6600 now for 6 months and sice a few weeks we have some issues with the printer.
situation:
1 - HP 6600 printer
1 - Wireless Router
3 - Computers connected to the router
What we did:
Updated the firmware
Manual IP
Put channel from router to 11
Put it closer to the router (1 meter instead of 3)
HP docter, everything is fine (if connection is lost, answer "No network connection to your device"
But all above is not the solution.
When the printer is offline we just switch it off and on and it will work again for a couple of hours. It looks that the connection is lost when it is going to sleep/hybernate.
Also one of my customers has exactly the same problem, also did all above and didnt fix anything. This question is for me quite urgent because i am going on holidays in 2 days, my father in LAW cannot work without the printer and is getting upset this all this.
Any advices?

If I understand you correctly the printers blue light is flashing and you cannot see your printer on the network. I recommend that you reset the network defaults to factory settings on the printer.
To reset the network defaults
-touch Setup Menu
-touch Network
-touch Restore Network Defaults
Then use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to the network.
To run wireless setup
-touch Setup
-touch Network
-touch Wireless Setup Wizard
follow the on screen instructions to set the printer up on the network. You will need the WPA password or security key for the router to do this.
Follow the steps in this document Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection to set a static IP address for the printer. This should help you maintain a better wireless connection.
Keep me posted and let me know if you need further assistance.

PRINTER WIRELESS CONNECTION ISSUE

PRINTER 3050A All IN ONE Printer Scanner Fax
prints well with USB Connection BUT doesn't print on ePrint or Wireless, THOUGH the lights indicate there is positive connection. Error MSG: "Printer is Offline" but HP Printer screen indicates Online as do all ligths on printer. I've used the Router WSB reset and have completely shut the printer down, unplugged it and resumed in more than an hour. No change.

Hi @LITTLEBOYBLUE,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print wirelessly to your HP Deskjet 3050A, when you attempt to print wirelessly, you get a 'Printer Offline' error message. You have 2 options when setting up your DJ 3050A to your network, you can use the HP's Auto Wireless Connect or do a USB to Wireless conversion. To get started click on the link below:
Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Deskjet 3050A and 3070A e-All-in-One Printe...
Please let me know if you were able to connect your HP DJ 3050A to your Wireless network successfully.
Thanks,
