Printer will no longer connect to wireless router.

My printer won't connect to my router.....I disconnected a Vonage phone from my router, never touched the printer, but since disconnecting the phone, the printer no longer works....I've shut my cable box, router, computer and printer down and re-connected in that order....I've attempted multiple times to connect to the WPS from the printer both by pushbutton and PIN....and I've been unable to find anything on line to help with troubleshooting...any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @MKhelp
Thank you for reaching out to the HP Forums, I'd be happy to help you work towards getting your 3054 back online.
I can help you put the printer on your wireless network without software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
Connect to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3054 and then part of the MAC address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.
You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.
The blue wireless light will go solid, put the Mac back on your own network.
Add the printer to the System Preferences.

TS1398 ipod will no longer connect to wireless

My ipod will no longer connect you ATT wireless. It did before and my iPhone and iPad still connect jut fine. Any ideas why?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

P2055dn no longer connects via wireless router

I recently replaced my wireless router, an ancient Airport Extreme, with a Linksys WRT120N, not exactly state of the art but still an improvement. At first I couldn't connect to my p2055dn, which I plugged into the router. It no longer showed up as a Bonjour printer when I tried to add it. Then I changed the network mode setting on the router from Wireless-N to Mixed, which got the printer to show up as a Bonjour printer. I then added it and all was well. Now, however, the printer is again not showing up at all. I can still print directly with an ethernet cable to the printer but not wirelessly. The only thing that has changed is that I had to reinstall OS X 10.10.3, but I don't see why that should have changed anything, particularly since the printer is no longer showing up on our other computers. My inclination is that the problem has to do with the router settings but maybe there's something I can configure on the printer to get it to play nice with the router? Any suggestions very welcome.

OK..
I don't know if this is going to work for all 3 of you or not. Josephlee this might work for you, since you have AT&T DSL. Then again, it might or might not work for any of you. I am currently a BellSouth DSL customer. I had to set my modem to "bridge mode" before being able to use my Linksys WRT54G to access the internet. I can't explain how to set your DSL modem to "bridge mode." Your internet service provider will have to do that. If any of you can get your modem set to "bridge mode" I can give you some advice...
If you can get your DSL modem (Verizon, AT&T, Bellsouth, etc.) set to "bridge mode" this should help you out. By setting your modem to bridge mode, this allows your Linksys router to control all internet access. Basically it opens up your DSL modem to allow any and all internet access straight through it, just like opening a water line. If your modem is set to bridge mode, let's continue...
Open Internet Explorer or whatever web browser you use. Go to http://192.168.1.1 to access your Linksys router's dialog. Hopefully you know the user name and password. The default (factory settings) are:
username: <<< leave blank
password: admin
If you make it this far..
You will be at the Setup/Basic Setup tab
Internet Connection type you want is PPPoE
User Name: is the current login for your DSL account
Password: is the current password for your DSL account
(Remember that your router [not DSL modem] is controlling your access)
Select: Keep Alive and leave default (Not Connect on Demand)
Click on Save (and follow on screen instructions)
Next navigate to the Status tab
Once there, you should see Login Status. It should be Disconnected.
Click the Connect button.
Click Save if prompted. (and follow on screen instructions)
Now.. close ALL browser windows.
Re-open your web browser and check for internet connectivity. Some computers may require a reboot. My Win XP Pro doesn't.
I pray that helps you guys out!

Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

My printer no longer connects to wireless router... says it is off-line but the wireless light is on

HP Photosmart C309a

If you reset all settings, that should "forget the network" for you. But when you say that you already tried resetting the settings, were you able to reset them? In other words, were all of the settings reset when you tried it?

I recently installed the 5.5.3 AirPort Utility update and my airport will no longer connect to the internet.

I recently updated my macbook's AirPort Utility to 5.5.3 and it will no longer connect to wireless networks. First let me explain everything I have done already, I have reset my router, and tried on other's (my friends and my schools) networks. I have been able to succesfully connect to my friends wireless (router is made by netgear), but when i try to connect to my network (WRT54G linksys router) and my schools network (im unaware what they use for routers) I am unable to connect, and my AirPort will proceed either state it does not have an IP address and will assign itself one and will not connect to the internet. It will connect to the network with an IP, but will be unable to connect to the internet with the browser claiming DNS lookup failure.
yes, I have deleted and changed my location,
       deleted the selected service.
       tried resetting my router
       cleared my PRAM / NVRAM
       installed the newest firmware onto my WRT54G
       Renewed my DHCP lease
       made sure my Configure IPv4 is using DHCP
      and theres a few more but i'm forgetting them.
Any suggestions on why the 5.5.3 update might of screwed up my airport?

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

Printer won't stay connected via wired router

I have a Deskjet 1512 all-in-one and I'm having some problems getting it to work. I have Windows 8.1 and I'm connecting the printer through a linksys router via USB. The USB Control Center that I downloaded from linksys shows that the printer is connected, but it keeps connecting, then losing connection and I can't figure out how to keep it connected. So far I haven't even been able to print anything.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @Blends412,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet 1512 printer will not stay connected via wired router. I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, and user guide, this printer only supports a direct USB cable connection, from the printer to the computer. You will need a USB 2.0 printer cable. The cable looks like this.
Please see this guide, Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Deskjet 1510 and 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and 2..., on how to setup the printer.
Hope this resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!

Hi,
When Zeen's battery level goes below 5 %; it tends to Reset to Default where it looses all the connections and sync to the printer or router.
So its very important to make sure that Zeen's battery does not go to low. To avoid this I would suggest to charge Zeen regularly.
You may try the steps below as of now and check the results.
We need to Factory Reset the Zeen making sure it is connected (Docked) on the C510a printer.
Once it is docked try the steps below:-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02844556&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
Open the above link; and then perform the Factory Reset as shown in Solution Two.
Once completed try connecting to Wireless and check the results.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.

Installing new printer, getting error msg saying HP printer unable to connect to wireless router. MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.
SOLUTION says: If MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC addressof your printer to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.
My router is WD My Net N900 Router. MAC filtering is diabled. My security mode is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I have run out of ideas to try and fix the issues, would appreciate some help.
Thanks,

Hi Jamshidk
I am surprised you are getting that message and you checked the router settings and it is showing that the Mac Filtering is disabled.
I would suggest connecting the printer to the router with a ethernet cable to get a valid IP address and then setup the wireless.
Print a configuration report.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01554589&lc=en&product=3760410&tmp...
Type the IP address from the configuration page in the address bar into internet explorer browser. This will open the embedded web server for the printer. Click on the Networking tab, on the left hand side select wireless. After this is setup and applied, disconnect the ethernet cable.
Should be on the wireless network. Takes about 1 minute.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to start, devices and printers and select add a printer. (Win 7)
Test the printer.
If you need more assistance just let me know.

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7. Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud. Worked last night but same problem today. It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car. Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well. Any ideas?

Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

Since updating my iphone 4s to the most recent update it will no longer connect to the wifi at work, where I am not a network administrator and do not have privliges to reset passwords and turn the routers on and off. Any other suggestions for re-connecting? I have never had a problem before and can still connect to other networks i am a part of...

Try Resetting your iPad: Hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

Printer will not stay connected to network

The printer will no longer stay connected to the network. If we turn the printer off and back on again it will print but shorly after it says "The printer is not connected. Again, turning it off and back on again will allow it to connect. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, did not make a difference. The firmware is the latest and all drivers are up to date.
Solution?? I have two kids in college and this is becoming very frustrating.
Thank you,
Joanie

Hi @jraitt , I would very much like to help you with your 6500a plus.
Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
As a work around, if the issue persists, you could connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to the router. This will disable the wireless in the printer and possibly allow a more stable connection. If however you connect an Ethernet cable and the issue persists, we will then know the issue is not the printer at all and is the router.
I hope this helps.

My ipad will no longer connect to my wi-fi

my ipad will no longer connect to my wi-fi, nothing has changed i even reset my ipad, now it will not take my security code any suggestions. it worked yesterday and i even used it today at the hospital on their wi-fi, now i am home and it will not connect

Some things to try first:

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 drooping internet connection)

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
