PLE400, PLW400, and network printer WIFI Protected Setup issues

Hi
Okay, I have a Linksys EA4500 wireless router with the PLE400 and PLW400 wireless extenders installed in my house. I set the extenders up using the Cisco Powerline AV Utility by following the directions (Same keyword shared, PLW400 password entered in) and it increased the range of my router effectively. However, ever since I installed the PLE400 and PLW400 I can no longer get WIFI Protected Setup to work on any of my wireless printers. I have two Brother HL-2270DW wireless printers that stopped working when I installed the extenders and cannot be connected to the router since then using the WIFI Protected Setup. What the heck?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I held down the reset buttons for 10 seconds on the PLE400 and the PLW400 then set them back up and still had the problem. Then I thought maybe there are firmware upgrades available. Lo and behold there are so I upgraded the firmware on the PLE400 and the PLW400. Now everything works just fine. >.<

  • WRT600N and WiFi Protected Setup?

    All,
    When the Wrt600N came out, it was said that the "Reserved" button would be enabled by a future firmware upgrade to support WiFi Protected Setup.
    Surely in the three or so years this has come to pass.
    Does anyone have a link to information on using WPS with the WRT600n?
    Many thanks.
    JR

    I believe Cisco is still working on it until this time. I've found a link from their KB about WPS vulnerability. You might want to check it out, http://homekb.cisco.com/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=3bccc46248f9417b909e2c1028f6778e_WPS.xml&pid=80&r....

  • Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

    On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
    I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
    So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
    Here's the transcript:
    SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
    SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
    nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
    CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
    jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
    CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
    katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
    DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
    SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
    MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
    Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
    CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
     jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
     JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
     nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
     DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
     KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
     CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
    Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
    DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
    ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
    JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
    lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
    CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
    Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
    DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
    jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
    JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
    Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
    CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
    ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
    JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
    TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
    DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
    AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
    CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
    DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
    jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
    CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
    Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
    JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
    ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
    SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
    nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
    JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
    jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
    TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
    DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
    ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
    JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
    CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
    carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
    CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
    wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
    DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
    nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
    JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
    katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
    CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
    jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
    CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
    jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
    JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
    rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
    DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
    JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
    Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
    SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
    ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
    DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
    JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
    CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
    CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
    SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
    SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
    jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
    JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

  • Iphone & wifi protected setup

    the current models of airport extreme supports features of wifi protected setup, namely you can add clients (like my trendnet usb key) to the airport extreme by pin number. (i never got "first attempt" to work)
    i am wondering if iphones can connect to airport extreme this way of joining my encrypted network or am i going to find some way of copying and pasting the wpa2 passphrase into the iphone and pasting it to the wifi configuration.
    i assume when i get my first iphone i will have to put the wifi key in notes (in mail) and sync it to itunes and paste the wifi key from there.
    i also assume i will be able to sms myself the passphrase, copy it, and paste it to the wifi configuration
    but i was also wondering if the iphone or any other apple client devices supporting joining a airport extreme by "adding wireless clients" feature in
    airport utility

    But does it support WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)?  And if so, can you tell me how to set up the iphone to join the transaction?  Thanks.

  • Wifi Protected Setup (WPS)

    I recenty bought WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point:
    Firmware: 2.0.0.5
    It has a feature I never saw in prior Linksys WAPs I bought in the past. That feature is "Wifi Protected Setup"! I have two questions about this feature:
    1) What is the purpose of the WPS?
    2) How can I disable this feature?
    I appreciate your knowledge and help!

    WPS will cause a wireless client that supports WPS (Vista supports it and XP does not) to request a PIN to be entered in order to connect to the wireless network. You can find the appropriate PIN on the Wifi Protected Setup Screen on the WAP4410N. On the client when the request comes up you can click a link on the bottom of the screen that will allow you to connect without entering the PIN. However, for your firmware version there is a work around that will keep the WAP from requesting the PIN in the first place.
    Workaround: 
    1.       Factory default the Access Point.
    2.       When setting up the Wireless, “Do not change” SSID 1.
    3.       Enter the desired SSID Name under “SSID 2”.
    4.       Check the “enable” box for SSID 2.
    5.       Uncheck the “enable” box for SSID 1.
    6.       Make any other changes to the mode, or channel, and then save settings.
    7.       Check the Wi-Fi Protect Setup page; it should still say “Unconfigured”.
    Note:  As long as you do not change the Name of SSID 1, Wi-Fi Protect will remain “Unconfigured” and will not ask for a pin number when trying to connect.

  • How does manual wifi vs. wifi-protected setup differ

    I setup my wifi router manually.  When I turn on MAC filtering if gives me a warning that I cannot use "wifi-protected" setup.
    1) How does manual wifi vs. wifi-protected setup differ?
    2) Why does using a manual configuration with MAC Filtering (Allow List) lockout wifi-protected setup?
    Thank you,
    Ed S.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi edspyhill09. Yes, it will disable Wifi protected setup because you are trying to filter the Mac addresses of the devices that you want to connect to your network. Only those mac addresses that  are listed can connect to your network so it defeats the purpose of having WiFi protected setup enable. WiFi protected setup lets users to connect multiple devices to the network and enable data encryption by pushing a button which is most of the time on the front panel or some of them is in the back panel labeled WPS. But WPS doesn't apply to all devices because some gadgets are not WPS capable, only those devices that are WPS capable can take advantage of this feature. Manual wifi is the conventional way of connecting to your wifi network. You look for the network name ssid and connect to it, if it ask for a password, then just type in the password and voila! You're now connected to your wifi network. Hope this helps you out!

  • E2000 Wifi Protected Setup Vulnerability

    I am concerned about the Wifi Protected Setup vulnerability. The E2000 is running as a wireless bridge behind a hardwire router to allow wifi devices in my network. I have WPA2 Personal enabled with a strong password, as well as MAC Address Filtering, but I still have the concern of someone being able to spoof a MAC and crack the WPS. Is there a way to completely disable this router's WPS ability, so that the only way to connect to the router is to know the password? WPS has been found to be very easy to crack and it's nothing to capture wifi packets and determine the MAC address of authorized devices. What advice can you give me? Is there a version of the firmware that allows WPS to be disabled? I am unable to find firmware updates for this device. Or is there a different firmware that will work for this device and allow WPS to be disabled?
    Thanks in advance for your advice and help with this issue.

    ^^^ The WPS issue has nothing to do with Remote Management on of off.  Not the same problem. 

  • WRT54G2 v1 fv1.0.04 stuck in wifi protected setup? /unable to switch to manual

    I just upgraded the firmware on a WRT54G2 v1 from firmware v1.0.00 to v1.0.04.  More or less everything was working fine before the upgrade.  I was surprised that it held most of the old settings, including the wireless settings. 
    The execpton is the problem, it now wants to run wifi protected setup.  I have always set this to manual.  Specifically under wireless>>basic wireless settings it shows two radio buttons in 'wireless configuration':  'manual' and 'wi-fi protected setup', the latter is clicked.  If I click 'manual' it brings up a message with a generic complaint stating that several wireless security settings are not compatible with wi-fi protected setup (including WEP, which is the current setting).  Fortunately my wireless security settings are acutally unchanged. 
    FYI, the box is remote, so I have not physically touched it.
    How do I set 'wireless configuration' to MANUAL ?
    Thanks for your help.
    --Lloyd

    OK, all I needed to do was reset to the factory defaults and then reconfigure.   Apparently the combination of old settings and default settings for new features put the unit a conflicting state.  --Lloyd

  • WRT310Nv2 Wifi protected setup hangs on 99% HELP!

    So I was going to portfowardmy router to make a server on a game called Minecraft, and when I went to my routers page, this popped up:

    I tryed upgrading the firmware, but you have to acess that page to do so, and with that box up, you can't.
    Any solutions besides resetting?

    Press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  connect via wired computer to 192.168.1. username blank, password 'admin'.  Reconfigure the router from scratch.  Do NOT hit the WPS button on the front of the router and ALWAYS select manual for your wireless settings.

  • BT Wireless ac usb dongle 900 wifi protected setup...

    Hi, I've just installed my new USB dongle for my hub5, the BT ac usb dongle 900.
    After installing the software I plugged it in and clicked finish as instructed. I then connected to my hub5 by typing in the password as normal, and it's all connected fine.
    But then a box popped up saying 'WiFi Protected Setup, In progress please wait'. If I cancel or leave it, it says 'error please try again' and then retries.
    If I go and press my WPS button, it says 'success, connected to the router' and then when I click OK it still retries and pops up again!
    I've tried rebooting and even uninstalling and reinstalling the software! What is going on this is rediculous! I've used loads of wifi dongles in the past, who even tests this software?
    How can I stop it continually popping this box up?
    thanks for your time.

  • Does iPhone support WiFi Protected Setup?

    I'd like to connect this new iPhone up to my WiFi and retain the same security (WPA2) I'm using with my other clients.

    But does it support WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)?  And if so, can you tell me how to set up the iphone to join the transaction?  Thanks.

  • WRT54G2 Hangs at 99% on "WiFi Protected Setup"

    Hello. I hit the wifi protected setup button on my router, now every time I try to navigate to the "wireless" tab in the web-based configuration screen a frame comes up that says
    "Searching for your client device.
    Please wait...
    If you haven't clicked on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your client device, please do so now.
    99%"
    and it hangs on 99% forever, with no way to cancel it. Is there any way to cancel this WITHOUT doing a hard reset of the router?
    As a temporary workaround, I used "View -> Page Style -> No page style" in firefox so i could select manual setup and save the settings, but even with manual setup checked (and the ability to successfully configure wireless settings with the style sheet turned off), the
    "Searching for your client device.
    Please wait...
    If you haven't clicked on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your client device, please do so now.
    99%"
    frame still pops up with the basic page style turned on (thus every option is unclickable), and is still visible with the CSS turned off.
    There is no option to cancel setup, and any other topic on this support forum just recommends a hard reset.
    Is there any other way to deal with this other than a hard reset?
    Will this be fixed in a future firmware version?
    This is pretty problematic because without a "Wifi Protected Setup" client device, the router seems to be stuck in some sort of infinite loop with no way to break out of it.
    Thank you.

    So, essentially, Wifi Protected Setup is a feature so broken that it requires a complete factory reset? How is there not a warning about this above the button in the middle of the router?
    I set up the security manually in the first place. Because of linksys's poor design, it's more convenient for me to just remove style sheets when I view the setup page so I can actually change options instead of resetting the entire router. Why is there not an option to cancel the Wifi Protected Setup?
    Would your solution to a leaky faucet be to demolish the whole house and rebuild it? If there was a typo in your post, would you erase the whole thing and type it all out again?
    I read the other posts on this subject before I posted. I specifically asked in my post if there was any way other than a hard reset and if it would be fixed in a future firmware revision. Those were my questions. I already have a temporary workaround that gets what I need done without me losing all the options I have set.
    When will this be fixed?

  • How do you connect an IPod touch 3rd generation to wifi using wifi protected setup?

    Hi all.
    I have an IPod Touch 3rd Generation using software 5.0.1 that I am trying to connect to my wifi.  I just got a Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway router (model #DPC3825 if any of that matters).  It's default setup is wifi protected setup which invovles the pushing the button on the router or entering a pin.  I cannot find any pin on the router nor can I find anyway to enable something on the IPod for the push button.  Any advice on how to get this connected?  Is there an app I have to download or a setting I need to change?
    Thanks

    I have that same model modem.  Here is the user guide for that modem as mentioned by lllaasss above.

  • Airport express and network printer setup problem

    I could not find and add my network printer in my work place only when network is connected via my airport express. I can see the printer when the network is connected by ethernet cable. Note: the printer I mentioned is not connected to the USB of the AE, it is a separate network printer with a true IP.
    Is this a firewall problem in the airport express unit? I have the same problem with my ThinkPad too.

    Have you tried putting the printer's IP address into the "add a printer" dialog box IP view of the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences?
    It sounds like your AirPort Express is creating another subnet that is making it hard to access the printers subnet. You might try putting the AirPort Express into "bridge" mode.
