Printer loses wireless connection after some hours

Hello to all!
Printer is connected and I can see on the screen correct IP. Desktops with Win7 and Ubuntu are used. After switching on printer works properly, but several hours later its unreachable from both systems. Printer shows connection, I can see it in router web access tool, but it is unreachable. I have to switch off printer, reboot the router, then switch on printer - and it works. Not very comfort.
Does anybody know how to fix this bug?

Hi @varspb,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 6525 printer is losing wireless connection after some hours with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you!
For Linux support, please take a look at this website, http://hplip.sourceforge.net/.
Otherwise, please see the following guides:

Tips for preventing wireless connection issues
The following tips can help prevent wireless connection issues:
Move the printer and the computer or access point (router) closer together.
Remove any metal objects between the printer and the computer or access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
Move any device that emits radio signals farther away from the printer. Devices such as microwaves and cordless telephones can interfere with wireless transmission.
Consult the router manufacturer for updates and configuration of your router.
Make sure that your computer is not connected through a VPN. You cannot access your printer on your wireless network while connected to a VPN.
Also, please take a look at this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.
Hope this helps, and have a good day!

  • Printer drops wireless connection after some time

    Have HP Laserjet P1102w printer. (Serial# edited Serial Number by Moderator) (Firmware 20130703)
    Windows 7(64bit)
    Printer on wireless home network.
    For a period of time the printer prints wirelessly and prints from EPRINT EMail address OK.
    Normally Wakes itself when print received.
    After some period of time,however,the printer quits responding.
    It did not wake when print received.Normally wakes itself when print received.
    I manually turn it back on (front panel power button) and observe the following:
    The blue wireless light is on.
    The blue error light is on indicating no error.
    the green light also is on.
    Open Control Panel(View devices and printers) on computer and it shows printer error.
    Can restore normal operation by unplugging for a few seconds and turning back on.
    Can also restore normal operation by turning off and back on.
    Will quit responding again after some period of time when trying to print.
    Tried Windows troubleshooting and HP "Print and Scan Doctor".Tells me to reboot.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Can't reboot by unplugging or powering off  when away from home so can't use ePrint email address to print.
    Can't print when away from printer when it quits responding.
    Thanks for any help.

    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
       This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
       first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
       printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
       Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    4. Assign the printer a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Manual DNS server and 8.8.4.4 for the
       Alternate preferred DNS server.
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
    5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
       system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
       they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.

  • Printer loses wireless connection when it goes to sleep?

    My printer loses wireless connection to my router when it goes to sleep and I have to input the WEP key again.  As long as the printer is awake it works fine.  The wireless light remains on.
    Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and the router is a Verizon 7500.

    If you mean WPA, that is good.
    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • WRT54G v.6 loses wired/wireless connection after 2 hours

    I have been trying for two weeks to get my router to maintain connection to both my wired and wireless computers.  It drops after 2 hours. It says it is connected but I can't get anywhere.   I have DSL with a static address.  I put the static IP on the router and have the router DHCPing to the others.  Have "live chatted" with Lynksys 4 different times with no luck.   Based on live-chat advice, I have updated the firmware to 1.01, and changed the MTU from 1500 to various other numbers with no positive results. Both computers drop at the same time.  If I take the router out of the loop and plug straight into the DSL modem, it stays up forever.  I run XP home on my wired computer and XP Pro on my wireless laptop.  I am at my wits end and would appreciate any help that you can offer.

    It didn't like that either! I got to thinking about how it said that I was still connected but I couldn't get anywhere so  I called my ISP today and had them double check my connection.  The technician said that I was having abnormally high errors rates going out of my dsl (new, had it replaced recently) modem.  He had me reset the modem, then reset the router, update my DNS numbers.......same thing, about 2 hours later, DROP!  I have about decided that it is a problem between my dsl modem and router instead of my router and computers.  For one thing, I reset everything during my lunch break.  Back at work, right after lunch, I could ping my static IP on my router but, sure enough 2 hours later, I couldn't ping it despite my ISP saying I was connected. That leads me to believe my router doesn't like my modem or vice versa!  Any other suggestions? 

  • WRT54GS v7 loses wireless connectivity after 15 minutes or so

    I just installed a WRT54GS v7 router to work with my cable modem. It has the latest firmware. The wireless connection seems to work for about 15 minutes or so at a time and then it stops working. I can't even get to 192.168.1.1. The only way to get it to work is unplug the router and plug it back in. Originally, I thought it was interference from my 2.8GHz cordless phone, so I unpluged it. But that still didn't fix the problem. What could be the problem? Thanks.

  • OJ 8600 Constantly loses wireless connection

    My OfficeJet Pro8600 Plus works great, except when it loses wireless connection.  I have an ATT wireless router/modem.  Frequently, when the printer goes to sleep, it will not print.  The wireless icon on the printer shows good, and says connected.  But then I get the message on my computer that the printer is not connected.  I cancel the print, restart the printer and then it will work.  I also frequently get the message that scanning is also not connected.
    Once I reboot the printer, it works fine.  Any ideas?

    brown7373,
    If you have not done so for a while, I might suggest that you install (reinstall) the Full Feature Software for your printer.  In August of this year (2014) there was an Update to the software that may well help with the situation you are facing. 
    Less clear, due to the usual less than full descriptive qualities of the documentation supplied with these things (in my opinion), is the need for the accompanying firmware Update that is shown for at least those users running the Windows 8.1 Operating System.  Firmware updates, might be installed after software updates are tried -- and only at the user / owner's discretion.
    General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
    Reminder:
    In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
    The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
    Windows Operating System:
    Create Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Open HP Drivers & Downloads
    Enter your Printer Model information
    Select your Printer from the “Results” list
    OR
    Open HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
    Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation. If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
    NOTES: 
    Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
    Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
    If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    Ethernet: Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
    After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category - Update
    There is valuable information at the support website, including sections for Manuals, Troubleshooting > How-to, Troubleshooting > Solve a Problem, plus alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what is available.  Bookmark the page.
    ============================================================================
    If you are running the computer wirelessly and using a notebook, you might consider the following:
    Set the wireless adapter to "all on" as suggested in the following Dragon Document:
    Settings to Improve Wireless Connectivity
    See the Section on Page One titled
    Wifi Power Management
    ============================================================================
    What If:  Bummer - Nothing works.  Sad Story and all that.
    If all else fails, you can call HP and politely ask for the printer code to switch off the sleep timeout on your printer model.  This works when everything else fails.   It is not a solution; this is a workaround and maybe not a pretty one -- there may be consequences down the road.  Switching off the sleep timer will keep the printer awake and available.
    Disclaimer:
    There is no guarantee that HP will give you the code.  This is not part of the service.  You can ask the question.

  • New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

    Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it.  I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network.  Both computers are Dells running XP.  Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G.  We installed the disk on both.  Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work.  We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
    When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC).  Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps.  The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on.  Then it's finebut for just a short while.  Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network.  Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
    Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be.  Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key?  There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots.  When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick.  One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
    In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel.  When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
    Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy?  All suggestions welcome!

    Let me answer the easy stuff first:
    Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
    No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again.  Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
    There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
    When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address?  When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
    I have a couple more questions:
    What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
    What version of FW does your router have?  You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
    Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible.  Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
    One more question.  After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

  • 7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

    I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
    cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
    I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use  IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
    If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

  • Apple TV loses WiFi Connectively After waking up from sleep

    My Apple TV, software version 3.0.2 (which gives us 1080P btw), works fine, until I put it to "sleep." Later, when I use the Apple TV, it says: "Not connected to the Internet." In effect, my wifi has disappeared from the memory of the Apple TV, and I have to enter the wifi network's password again on the Apple TV.
    I have had this Apple TV for about a year; the problem appeared maybe one month ago.
    I took it to the Apple Store after Apple Care Telephone Support consulted with engineers. The Apple engineers said it could be a hardware problem, and for me to bring my Apple TV to the Apple Store so they could diagnose it. But at the Genius bar, they put it to sleep and woke it up and it never lost connectivity every time. I suggested that as the Apple Engineers wanted the hardware looked at, why doesn't the Apple Store keep my unit, put it to sleep, and wake it the next business day? The genius bar refused, as the problem did not replicate itself at the genius bar. I told them that trying after 10 minutes wasn't enough. They should try it overnight, as I do (go to bed, try it the next day, only to discover that the Apple TV lost it's connection to the WiFi.
    So for now, my work-a-round is that after a few hours, I have to reenter the password for the wifi. I've been reading threads about similar issues with the iPad, but I don't know if the problems are related (technology wise).
    Bottom line: My Apple TV loses its connectivity after being in sleep mode for awhile. Nothing to do with the iTunes store or 3.0.2 as far as I can determine; if I don't put it to sleep I don't lose connectivity.

    Thank you, Jamie Cox1. However, after rebooting the Apple TV, I lose my 1080P; it goes to 720P and takes about 5 minutes or so to reboot. Then I have to set the 1080P again. The good news is that the wifi returns But it is quicker merely to re-enter my password.
    The problem remains: After a while of having the Apple TV in sleep mode, I lose connectivity to my wifi And while I have a complicated password (upper and lower case letters, numbers, and not a dictionary word), it still is quicker to re-enter my password than to wait for the Apple TV to reboot and re-enter the settings for 1080P.
    Thanks anyway; if I only had 720P perhaps this solution might be enough - but I have 1080P.
    I am working with Apple Care; I have reconfigured my wifi twice with Airport Utility, removed all interference (microwaves, cordless phones), and still the problem remains. Apple Care hasn't solved the problem. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store hasn't solved the problem. Re-booting does find the wifi again, but it takes a long time, and then I still have to re-set the resolution to 1080P. So I just re-enter my password each time.
    And that's my update! I appreciate everyone's suggestions. However, the problem remains: after putting the Apple TV in sleep mode, and then later when I want to use the Apple TV, the Apple TV forgets that it is connected to wifi and I have to re-enter my password, or I can take some time and reboot the Apple TV but then while the wifi returns, the 1080P disappears.
    Thank you everyone for all your suggestions
    But the problem remains

  • Haelp! cannot print over wireless connection

    I just set up a wireless network in our house, with a 2Wire 1701HG gateway (wifi plus ethernet.). I have a Brother neworkable laser printer, connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.
    When I have my iBook also conected by ethernet cable, I can print, no problem. But when I am connected by wireless, when I try to print it always says "AppleTalk inactive," even though when I go to the the Network Preference panel it says it is active!
    The long and the short of it is I cannot print via wireless connection. What do I need to do to remedy this situation?
    Thank you!!!!

    This snippet is from the Tiger printing help area. I had similar difficulties and it worked for me:
    Delete and recreate the printer queue
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility (10.3) or Print Center (10.2).
    2. Delete any queues for the printer model you have.
    3. Add a new queue, and choose Bonjour (formerly "Rendezvous"). It should locate and show the printer attached to the base station.
    Good luck!
