Problem connecting 1525nw to Comcast Dual Band Router

I recently got a new Comcast Dual Band router. Since then I have not been able to connect my HP 1525nw wireless printer to the network. Have tried all methods, WPS, PushButton, Pin, installation thru HP drivers, resetting to factory defaults etc.......any suggestions?
BTW - the printer was connected earlier to the Comcast Single Band router. It used to work just fine then.

Hi @SP-Michigan ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with setting up the printer over the network on the Comcast Dual Band Router.
I will do my best to help you.
Restore the factory settings on the printer.
Press the OK button on the printer, go to service, then select restore defaults.
Print a configuration page from the printer to make sure the IP and SSID are cleared.
Most likely it is the settings on the router that might need to be changed.
If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 GHZ. (rename the 5ghz or shut it off)
You might also have to set it to WPA personal.
The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.
Multi casting needs to be turned on.
Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from configuration page.
You might need to contact Comcast for further assistance to check those settings.
I have provided a document for setting up the wireless connection or you can follow my different methods provided.
Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • Connecting Harmony Hub to Apple Dual Band Router

    It appears that the Harmony Hub only connects to 2.4 ghz and my dual Airport Extreme, although it sends out both 5 and 2.4 doesn't work with it. If we can't find a work around one thing we are considering is whether we can add a second (2.4ghz only) router to the network either directly to the modem or as an extension of the network. I'm a little (a lot) over my head on this stuff so would appreciate any suggestions or approaches. thanks

  • Ipad push applications on Apples Dual band router - Help

    All, why are my push apps not pushing when I'm connected to the Apple dual band router, internet works fine though? Funny thing is at my moms house it pushes fine with her cheap netgear. Can someone with a dual band and push working on your iPad please provide what settings you used on the router ? Is it best to just a separate name for 5ghz ?
    Its been so hard to find help on this. Thanks

    I am also finding streaming (from YouTube) to be poor both on wifi and 3G. My first gen iPad had a lot of problems, but streaming was never one of them. Signal strength is good and I haven't changed any network hardware or settings.

  • IMac connecting to N channel on a dual band router but only at 54mps

    I have an iMac late 2009 model connected wireless to a dual band Netgear WNDR3300 router. My problem is it only connects at 54mps on the N channel and that is with the router placed 2 meters from the computer. My PC laptop similarly placed connects at 270mps no problem. When I option click on the Airport Utility in the menu bar it tells me I'm in 802.11n mode on channel 149(5ghz). When I first got the iMac it connected easily at 270mps. So something has happened. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    I had a similar problem with a NetGear DualBand DGND3300v2, the issue in the end was security.
    I was initially trying to use WPA-PSK and getting this exact same issue, with my Mac, stuck at 54Mbps on the 5GHz band, disabling the security allowed me to connect at 'up to 270' but obviously not secure, so moving up the security options tried WEP, this also allowed 'up to 270'. WPA-PSK was no go, so I went to and am using WPA2-PSK and it works fine, sometimes I get a connection of 300Mbps.
    So give it a try, let me know of it works for you...

  • IPad Air: stumped by streaming problem on dual band router

    I have a dual band router at home. My iPad Air will stream very poorly when connected to the 5 GHz band. By streaming, I mean Netflix, Crackle, etc. Everything works fine if I connect to the 2.4 GHz band. The strange part is that my old iPad One streams fine from either band. Even stranger, downloading stuff like apps or magazines works fine with the iPad Air on either band. The problem is only with the iPad Air when streaming on the 5Ghz band. Any one else has this problem?

    I am also finding streaming (from YouTube) to be poor both on wifi and 3G. My first gen iPad had a lot of problems, but streaming was never one of them. Signal strength is good and I haven't changed any network hardware or settings.

  • Cisco 2500 dual band router. the hp printer is connects on one band, pc the other help

    Cisco 2500 wireless router Dual Band N, HP PhotoSmart C309-g, Windows 7
    PC cannot find the printer because it connects on a different band.  Cisco uses the same name for both bands.  How do I get both devices on the same network.

    I also have a dual band router, Cisco's LinkSys EA3500 N750; and the 5.0gHz band is necessary to avoid interference with other equipment operating on 2.4gHz. I put TP-link 2.4/5.0 gHz adapters on each PC (one HP another Sony, both a few years old)  and the PCs now work fine, no loss of internet/network access.  Would that solution also work for the printer?  The printer does not recognize any network (even though the 2.4gHz shows as available and strong on the TP-link device.   I used the same name and security code for the new router as the old; again, neither PC had a problem finding it.

  • Dual band router that ipad will stay connected with

    Is there a dual band router that ipad3 will stay connected to

    My son-in-law uses a Netgear model WNDR3700-100NAS Dual Band Router. I just bought one but it hasn't arrived yet. This router is compatible with the iPad: 802.11a/b/g/n, supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, supports WPA2 encryption.
    I have ATT UVerse, but the UVerse router range is quite low. I bought a wifi repeater, which increases the range somewhat. The output from the UVerse will be plugged in to the Netgear router.

  • Computer doesn't see second channel in Dual Band router

    I have just purchased a Cisco Linksys simultaneous dual band wireless N gigabit router (model WRT610N-EU). 
    The router has two channels, 1) linksys and 2) linksys_media.  Both my computer and my TV see and connect without problem to linksys.  However, my intention with the dual band router what to have one channel for my laptop and one for the TV.  Unfortunately, neither see the linksys_media channel.  What is strange is that a visiting friend was able to see both channels on his laptop.  So why don't I?
    Is there a compatibility issue here or am I doing something wrong?
    BTW, my laptop is less than six months old and is running Windows 7 (newer than my friend's laptop).  The TV is a top of the line model and two months old.

    Most likely your devices don't support the 5 GHz band. Check the specifications of the wireless adapters in your wireless devices.

  • NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR 3400

    Hi all,
    My neighbor and I (Sarah) both live on the second floor of a circa 1820 house.
    Wi-fi is included in our rent.
    Neither of us can connect to the house's NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router (which is on the first floor) with our MacBooks (both purchased new earlier this year and both running Mac OS 10.7).
    We can connect to the network with our iPhones, iPads and Windows Notebooks.
    But when we try to connect with our MacBooks, we get a connection timeout error.
    Any help would be mucho appreciated.
    Mike

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)

  • Linksys WRT1900AC Dual Band Router Issue

    Hi We have recently Purchased
    8 Linksys WRT1900AC Dual Band Router. And we are trying to connect our External Hard Drive which is
    (Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STDT4000100) non of them are recognizing in USB 3 or USB 2 Yes we have also tried to format the drives in NTFS still no luck. I am really surprise that External 4TB HD not working with this Such Hi-Fi Router. I am hoping it should really don't want to return these router.
    Please Confirm if this router support the Following Newest USB 3 External Hard Drives. I have tried everything but its not working.
    1 - Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive STDR2000100 B
    2 - Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STDT4000100
    Thanks
    Faz

    Have only 1 drive connected to the USB port. Restart the router and then map the drive. See if that works. The issue that I am having is that when I have only one drive (NTSF) connected to my WRT1900AC Router I can see it, no problem. The problem ocurrs when I install the second drive (FAT32) then it locks both drives and I can not map any of the drives either on mac or windows. I do see both drives on the Linksys Smart wi-fi browser (192.182.1.1) and tells me that both are connected, but thats about it. I am going to format both as NTSF and see if that solves the problem.

  • Dual band router will fix interferences right?

    So i got really bad download problems, and i think i narrowed it down to interference problems.
    Probably baby phones or a wireless 2.4ghz phone from my new neighbours.
    So if i get the WRT320N-EW Dual Band router and put it on 5.2ghz this should fix it right?
    Thanks in advance.

    Home wireless networks based on the 802.11b or 802.11g standards transmit their signal in a narrow radio frequency range of 2.4 GHz. Various other electronic devices in a home, such as cordless phones, garage door openers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens, may use this same frequency range. Any such device can interfere with a Wi-Fi home network, slowing down its performance and potentially breaking network connections.
    One benefit of the 5GHz 802.11a WLAN devices is that they are not vulnerable to interference from other devices, because the 5GHz frequency range they utilize is not used by any other devices (at least for now).
    On the down side, because of the type of modulation 5GHz wireless devices employ, their signals are more prone to be reflected and/or absorbed by materials in the home. This can have the same practical effect as active interference; that is, to weaken the signal, and reduce range and speed.

  • Dual Band Router

    I just set up a new dual band router in my house and ever since then I can't get my airport express to work! Airport utility doesn't even find it.. I reset it with the little switch on the bottom but still can't get it to work! Has anyone else had this problem before? I'm not really sure what else to try..

    It's a netgear WNDR3700 and I want to join the network for airtunes
    Great, thanks for clarifying that for me.
    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) setting for AirTunes:
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Netgear's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
    Please post back your results.

  • I have an older version of the airport extreme, can i still set it up to be a dual band router like the newer versions?

    Wondering if an airport extreme router that I bought back in 2009 will function as a dual band router, similar to the newer versions.  I wish to run my mac off of the lesser Ghz and the periphery devices off of the other(ipad, iphone).  I also have an apple tV, is this possible?

    The 2009 model extremes are simultaneous dual band (but the 2007 model was not - it was dual band, but not simultaneous).  Your problem is that I know of no way to force a given device onto a given bandwidth on an extreme.  Both channels share the same SSID, and a device simple connects via whichever frequency it gets the best connection.
    This is unlike other simultaneous dual band wifi routers.  I use a netgear wndr4500 (n900), and each radio is assigned a different SSID (and can also be configured independently in terms of security settings, and even turned on or off indepentently).  That way, I can force a given dual-band device to connect on a particular frequency by connecting it to that frequency's SSID.  The two SSIDs still function over the same subnet, so all 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connected devices can see eachother on the same DHCP subnet.
    But, I do not think you can set up an airport extreme like that - that sort of configuration is simply not an option with those devices.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-one printer & dual band router

    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to confirm whether this printer is compatible with my router which is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I am not able to connect it to the internet. The box says that the printer is compatible only with 2.4 GHz routers. Would the fact that my router is dual band mean that it will not work with the printer? 

    Hello @JMHouston , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are looking into your options for a dual band router.  I would love to help.
    The printer will only connect to a 2.4 GHz broadcast.  To quote this document on Print | Rate this content HP Printers - Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Iss...
    Dual band routers provide both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHZ frequency ranges. HP printers connect to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 20 MHz bandwidth only. Many dual band routers let devices connected to the 2.4 GHz band communicate with devices connected to the 5.0 GHz band. But not all routers support this feature.
    To manage the different bands and what devices connect to each, try assigning a unique SSID (network name) to each band. For example, name the 2.4 GHz band to “Mynetwork” and the 5.0 GHz band to “Mynetwork-5G”.
    Communication and connectivity issues might occur with the printer connected to the 2.4 GHz band and the computer connected to the 5 GHz band. Try connecting the computer to the 2.4 GHz band.
    As long as your router is broadcasting both network channels, you should have no issue connecting.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Kindly Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN ?

    Kindly 
    Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN?
    Thanks,

    Linksys/Cisco E4200 are compatible with DHCP. Second, these Wireless-N routers are only capable of enabling the VPN traffic to pass through the device.  You will need a VPN router and software to create the actual network to connect with your VPN client.
