New master box installed plus new router - increas...

Hi, my first post and just need a simple clarification if possible.
I live a few miles from the exchange (Buckden) so my speed is never going to be great but I've been living in the present house for about 28 years and I've never seen my BB speed go over 2meg but the last week has been a nightmare with it dropping to something like 300k, I phoned up BT and on Wednesday they decided to send an engineer round to have a look but said it was probably the main master socket.
Saturday(yesterday) came and the engineer arrived dead on time (8.00am), put in a new master socket plus a new Version 3 type router. My profile was at 1000k when he left but that was fine as I know it takes about 72 hours to do it's thing and settle down to a stable setting.
Today I did several tests and joy of joys, I'm now getting a constant 3meg download speed and 348k upsteam speed. So I took a few more tests which I'll list below:
Speedtest.net
2.92 download and 0.36 upload
http://speedtester.bt.com/
Download Speed
2767 Kbps
0 Kbps
7150 Kbps

For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:

Loss of Power (Local/Remote):
0 / 0
HEC Events (Down/Up):
1714 / 20
Error Seconds (Local/Remote):
987 / 20
My question is this, I noticed that I have now a maximum achievable speed is now showing 7150 Kbps, something which I have never been able to see before, it's always been about 2000 give or take, so does this mean that I might possibly be able to go above the 3meg I'm on at the moment to something like 4-5 meg?
I'm assuming that the 7150 figure is what the line is now rated at but I guess that doesn't mean the exchange is going to be able to pump that sort of spped to me because of the distance I am from it but if I could know what I should be aiming for then that would be really helpful to me.
That fact that I'm on 3meg at the moment is truley amazing considering what I have been used to but naturally it would be nice if I could receive a little bit more if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help and I have to say that I really am suitably impressed with the service from BT and the way in which they handled my initial querry - Well done BT!!

New router: cp1525nw wifi install fails with vague error message

Product: HP Laserjet Pro cp1525nw
OS: WIndows 8.1
Hardware: Asus laptop
Recently received new router from Verizon (FIOS), model FQG1100 BHR4 Router
Purchased printer in 2012.
Printer was working with old router; it won't communicate with new router.
Over four days I have repeatedly removed the printer from the laptop and tried reinstalling using the wifi method. The install instructions say to run the CD, choose wifi, connect the USB cable when prompted, configure, remove cable when prompted.
When I attach the USB cable the configuration starts, but it either times out ("taking too long") or fails with vague message about not finding the product. I am never prompted for an SSID.
I tried a USB install and that worked; so the USB cable is good.
Windows File & Print Sharing is enabled.
I've tried re-setting the printer to defaults, and ensured the wifi menu says "ON" for wifi.
I ran a wireless network test report:
PASS for wireless on, wireless working, and Security.
FAIL for Network Name (SSID) Found.
NOT RUN for: printer settings consistant with wireless router settings, No filtering, connected, signal strength, other networks detected.
Wireless netwrorks detected: 9
I note the router label does not statE "SSID", but says "ESSID".
I would appreciate any ideas for what to try.
Please post here or send message to [Personal Information Removed]

Last night I finally got it to work. I removed the printer fully from the PC and rebooted. I turned off the printer. I ran a cable to the router (cable modem). I reset the router, which then assigned an IP address to the printer. I changed the security settings on the router to use WEP instead of WPA. I ran the HP printer setup program---and it finally presented me with the "provide SSID" screen. The program ran successully. I printed a test page. I changed the router secuirty back to WPA2. I printed another test page. I tried rebooting everything and printed again. I also tried removing the cable and then printing again---the printing failed.
In short, I needed to do two things: connect a cable and change the router temporarily to WEP for the install.
In my case, my printer is close enough to the router to run the cable. A little disappointing that the true wireless won't work, but I can print wirelessly from my laptop.
I've seen how a lot of people have had the same issue I had, and how HP is of no help in solving this issue. I'm convinced the printer has a flaw. I hope my posts will be of benefit to a few people having the same issue.

Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed. Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED" and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

Installed a new router. Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer. Two problems.
1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer. There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get: POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson. Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
Do you need instructions?

We installed a new router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print.

Our cable company installed a new wireless router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print from my laptop.
I can't find any ot the Set Up stuff I used initially.
Is there any way to get my printer to work again...wirelessly?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. When you start the installation it will ask what kind of installation you would like. Choose "Wireless" or "Network" then click "Next".
Eventually it will ask you to plug in a USB cable to the printer temporarily to communicate the new router's info to the printer. Make sure to not plug in the USB until it asks.

How to install Deskjet 3055a, new router but unsupported operating system on Macbook

Hi, Please go easy with me, I really know very little about all this ! We have a Deskjet 3055A printer which has been linked wirelessly to my iPad and a MacBook without a problem until now. We have installed a new router. I am thinking that we have to amend our network in some way ? I have tried to run the HP cd on the MacBook to amend it, but all I get is the message as follows... "Unsupported operating system. The installer is not compatible with the version of the operating system on your computer. It is compatible only with 10.6 and below." The MacBook is running OS X version 10.9.5 Any help greatly appreciated - thank you ! ( Please keep it simple !! ) We 

Welcome to the community @Teekayk
I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac. There is no full driver and software available for the Deskjet 3055A on Mavericks, which basically means you will need to review your other options to scan on your Mac through Apple Updates, which is all included in the guide.

Error 322 when installing new router

I encounter this error when installing my new router. It says that my new router is not detected or something. Actually, after step 4, its says : New router or gateway not detected.
What should I do or check?
Thanks

Hey first of all try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
it will definately work!!

I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

I installed a new (and supposedly better & stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.
My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network & my "Guest" network has also disappeared.
What do I need to do to correct this problem?

You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC 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.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

My ipad won't accept my network key to connect to the internet, installed a new router

My ipad will not accept my network key in order to access my secured internet. I installed a new router today, not sure that matters.

If you are sure you are using the correct network key, try:
Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset network settings. After it restarts, try again to reconnect.

I just installed a new router and cannot get my ipad to connect now and I have no idea what settings should be or how to go about this

I just installed a new router and cannot connect with my ipad now. I have no idea what settings I shold be looking at or how to do this

you likely need to setup your router using an eathernet cable and a computer to turn on the wifi part and set an encryption level and password or the likes
if you havent do such things before you may require help from somebody who have
the router likely comes with an instruction manual how you set it up the first time

Installing new router

im getting a new router...i have 2 laptops and a ps3 wireless..what do i have to do to remove my old router setting and install all my new router stuff? just delete all my old router softeware from my computer and 2 laptops and install the new one?

If you are getting a new router...i think you can try to update the firmware of the router. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys Then try connecting your 2 wireless laptops & a PS3 wirelessly to the new network you setup....it will definately work.

Printer no longer detected after new router installed. Tried everything. Please help!!

I have a Photosmart 2575 printer which has worked well for a number of years. It has a wired connection to my router.
Recently I installed a new router (Sky fibre hub) and now the HP software (and any other printer/scanning software) is unable to detect the printer on my network. This is odd, because both my desktop (wired network connection) and my laptop (wireless network connection) can see the printer and I can install it using the standard windows 7 functionality. I can also browse the embedded web server, so I know for sure that my printer is on my network and accessible.
But despite numerous attempts to make the HP Solution Center software to work I am unable to print/scan etc from that software. I have tried many different "fixes" including full Level 4 uninstalls before reinstalling the software, resetting the netowrk settings on the printer, deleting the printer from everything on the network etc etc but nothing has worked.
I have tried using the HP Print and Scan Doctor software but that doesn't help.
I am totally mystified by this apparent lack of connectivity.
Can anybody help, PLEASE PLEASE!!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Success at last, but only after many hours of trawling through HP and Microsoft forums, and numerous attempts to make the connection!
But here's a summary of what I did for anybody else with this issue:-
1. I meticulously removed every trace of anything to do with HP from my PC and disconnected the printer from the network router.
This requires numerous "level 4" uninstalls to clear any previous falied installs and deleting everything in the temp file afterwards:-
1. Press the Windows key, and the letter R
2. Type %temp%
3. Press Enter, or click OK
4. Open the 7z folder
5. Open the util folder
6. Open the ccc folder
7. Double click the Uninstall_L4
2. Using Control Panel_Programs and Features, uninstalling anything left that might be HP related
3. Carrying out a disk clean up using Start_Accessories_System Tools_Disk Cleanup and repeating this for system files
4. Follwing the procedure found from the following link to check that the print spooling is working, and that any dependencies are "started":-
Link to post
In that thread there is a further procedure to follow which requires opening a command prompt in administrator mode and carefully inputting the command line
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
(note the space after the = but not before)
5. Running msconfig.exe and on the general tab, clicking "selective startup", unchecking "load startup items", then on the services tab, hiding all microsoft services, and deselecting all items [remember afterwards to re-run and go back to a normal startup!]
6. Restart PC
7. Disable Firewall [remember to enable afterwards]
8. Launch Internet Explorer (I had previously been using Chrome)
9. Download AIO software from HP website
10. Run and connect printer when prompted (making a note of the printer's IP address)
11. The networked printer wasn't found immediately, so click on advanced and then input the printer's IP address
12. Success - the printer was finally detected and installed correctly.

I have a new iPad 2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router being installed. When I tap my network name (which is with TalkTalk) the message comes up "unable to join the network TalkTalk etc...)

I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router. When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
