Printer will not connect to wireless network

I have followed all the troubleshooting ideas, but still keep getting the following message... "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find "Deskjet 2540 series [CA8F2C]._ipp_tcp.local." You many have typed the address incorrectly." Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 2540 will not connect to your wireless network on Mac OS X 10.7. I am happy to help! Please try the steps within the following guides: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (OS X).Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity in OS X Lion or earlier.

Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up. I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times. It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network"
The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem. There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR 802.11 b & n
We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities. If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

Hello,
Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
Please let me know of any change,

PC will not connect to wireless network

I have desktop P6620p with Windows 7. Until yesterday I was using mobile hotspot to connect to Internet via wireless connection. Yesterday evening I started having problems, I couldn't connect, the computer could not even find the wireless network there was nothing wrong with the mobile hot spot because the internet connection on my laptop woked just fine). Later, the computer completely crashed and our only option was to go back to "factory settings" (fun). Now, we have tried to start over but we still have the same problem with the wireless network, it won't connect because it won't even find the network.I tried to troubleshoot but it didn't help. I am not computer specialist, we are out of warranty and we had that computer only little over 2 yrs. Anyone can help? Thanks.

Hi ivanka4233,
I see that you are having problems connecting to your wireless hotspot, is that correct?
I have a few troubleshooting steps that you can try. Here is a link to those steps.
They will differ somewhat because you are using a hotspot and not a router.
Microsoft also has some helpful tips on connecting, here is that link.
If following those steps do not help then I would like for you to try the following:
Click Start, type command prompt in the Search Programs and files box, right-click Command Prompt and then click Run as administrator.
Type the following command: netsh winsock reset
Let me know if this helps.

Iphone 4 will not connect to wireless network

I have went to phone settings and connect to a network. The phone says known networks will be joined automatically. I clicked on my network, put in my passcode and it does nothing. I'm doing this to print pictures from my iphone 4 to my wireless printer.

I believe being able to print wirelessly is the best invention ever! With that being said, are you using the Air Print on the iPhone?

Have you been able to get a WiFi connection on the phone?

My printer will not connect to the network and i cannot find drivers for it

I just installed Win 10 64 bit and I lost all connection o my printer it is saying I am on another network and each time i try to load the drivers for it it fails

Hello vikagor,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are talking about cellular data not phone calls that's the issue.
For troubleshooting cellular data issues please see:
iPhone cellular data connection issues
Note the first symptom is, "No connection over cellular network, but works over Wi-Fi".
Take care,

B209a will not connect to wireless network

Hello,
I have a LAN at home where the B209a printer is connected wirelessly to a router which is itself connected vie ethernet over a powerline bridge to another wireless router which connects to the internet via DSL. This configuration worked fine until the wireless router connected to the printer (a Belkin item) failed.
I replaced the failed router with a Netgear WNR2000v3 wireless router and, using the setup disk provided with the printer, connected it to the printer wirelessly. Then the problems began....
Firstly, although computers connected wirelessly to the other router could 'see' the printer, it was not possible to print from them with 'printer offline' being reported.
To try to resolve this, I then changed the SSIDs on both routers to make them the same and tried to set up the printer again.
Now, however, I cannot connect the printer at all. During the setup the printer 'sees' both networks. When I try to connect, however, the setup procedure gets stuck at 'looking for network'. The printer is connected to the iMac running 10.5.8 via USB as recommended in the setup instructions. referring to a similar discussion elsewhere, I printed the config page from the printer which shows the printer Ip to be 0.0.0.0.
I would therefore appreciate advice to how first connect the printer back to the Netgear router and then how to print from it using a computer connected wirelessly to the other router on the LAN, which would restore the functionality in place until the Belkin router failed.
Thanks in anticipation.

Following the advice in the article http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/photosmart-plus-b209a-won-t-connect-to-... I was able to conect the printer to the router.
However, the other problem remains: I cannot print from a computer connected to a different router in the LAN.
Any advice on this would be appreciated.

IPad will not connect to wireless

iPad will not connect to wireless network, keeps trying but will not connect. Working on our other iPad that has no issue connecting to the same network

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPhone 4s will not join Netgear wireless network at home

Since my upgrade to iPhone 4s & OS 5 my phone will not connect to wireless network @ home via a Netgear router: asks for password & then tells me it's an incorrect password. My iMac, iPad & MacBook are all able to join this network, as is my husband's iPhone (one generation older). In addition, my new phone will connect to wireless at work. Any help would be so welcomed!!

since you join with iphone 4s? you mean upgrade to iOS 6?

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.
So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

Hi ..

OS X: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network
Mac Basics: Printing in OS X

My wireless internet is working with all of my other devices but my imac will not connect to the network?

Can anyone help? My wireless connection is working on both my iphone4S and my ipad2, but my Imac will not connect to the network.

First run Software Update to make sure your iMac is up-to-date.
Even though things are working OK on other devices there may still be issues with your modem or router so it's best to start there. Locate the manuals on both devices and reset each. Do the modem first then the router. Next make sure the router has up-to-date firmware. If the problem continues after updating resetting and updating both devices then download and install iStumbler and let it run for about 30 minutes. iStumbler will scan your area for the Wi-Fi networks being used, pay attention to the channels each network is set to. Most routers are pre-set to channels 5 or 6 and if you are in a congested area and all the routers are set for channel 5 or 6 then you can see where there might be a problem. Set your router's channel to one not being used in your area, you have at least 14 channels to choose from. Also check to see if your router is using 802.11n, if it's not then it would be wise to upgrade the router to a faster device.
Next is if you are still having issues the problem could be your ISP's DNS settings. If you want to learn about DNS please read CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting . Then use the instructions below to reset the DNS settings:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize my wireless router passwrd

My printer was working fine but when I turned it on today it wouldn't connect to my wireless router. I try inputing the correct password and the printer gives me this message......"the WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting" .
I have entered the password several times and I know what I have entered is correct

Hi @Southglen,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize your wireless router password. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
I would recommend to go through this guide, How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Wireless Network, just to double-check your wireless password, in case it might have changed.
I would also suggest a hard reset, by going to this post How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1.
After those two steps, I would suggest a firmware update, Getting Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 P....
Let's start with these steps, and we will go from there!

Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Cushionman ,
I noticed your post about the issues you are having with connecting the printer to your network. I am wanting to offer you my suggestion that might help you out!

After recent apple update MBP will not connect to wireless internet

After running recent Security and Airport upgrades my Mac Book Pro (Intel) will not connect to wireless home router supplied by Verizon (GTE) and several public wi-fi's. Cannot get IP but sees networks. My iMac PPC still works fine. Prior to upgrade everything worked fine at home and abroad to other public wi-fi's. MBP still connects at work with AppleBase wireless. Can the upgrade be removed? Is there a simple fix? Should I wait for apple to fix this and break something else.... If not broken don't fix it..

I'm having similar issues.
I have 2 MBP's. The newest one is about 1 month old and has never been able to connect to a WPA network. The older MBP is 20 months old and was originally installed with Tiger and gradually updated via Software Update and a retail copy of Leopard and subsequent Software Update updates to 10.5.2. Interestingly, this MBP was always able to access my WPA network until I decided to do an erase and install. I installed the retail copy of Leopard and was subsequently unable to access my WPA network. So, I went back to my Tiger install disks - but I'm guessing that whatever Leopard did *possibly* updated the firmware of the airport card as, even under Tiger, I could not access my WPA network (yes, I agree it seems unlikely that an OS update would/should update firmware but I am grasping at straws).
Trying to further understand the problem , I noted that the Network utility in System preferences would always show either a connection error or a connection timeout whenever I attempted to join my WPA network. I turned on syslog in my router and attempted to rejoin the network and saw the following errors:

Any ideas as to where my investigations could progress? (The router manufacturer tells me that the WPA timeout handler is not configurable on the router).

Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2

My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
Now all by the sudden it can't "see" the network.
Message: " could not connect to wireless network"
I have tried "everything" also on different networks,
except resetting the modem.
My iPhone works, as do all my other computers.
Modem is Zyxel P2812

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
