Wireless connection completely messed up!
Suddenly my Mac Pro cannot hold an internet connection. The airport is getting the signal, but the internet drops out once at least every half hour. Then I have to go to the system preferences/ network/ diagnostics and choose my network and wait for it to connect again. This is getting really old...as I can't get through a work day without going through this process at least 20 times. I've had the computer for less than a year.
If anyone can shed a little light on this and help me figure out how to solve it, I would be hugely appreciative!!! Thanks.
Well first install something like iStumbler 99 and see if your wireless router is on the same channel as any other wireless routers around. Plus get into your wireless router and check the time in it. Make sure the time in the router is correct (as well as in your Mac).
Now if the wireless signal is showing in the menu bar open System Preferences->Network pane, Advanced button, then the DNS tab. See if any information is in the DNS tab. If not then use something like OpenDNS.com (see their instructional video) and put that DNS entry into your DNS tab (by using the + button).

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage
I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them. -
The eFax firmwear Update Messed Up the Wireless Connection
I followed the directions to reconnect eFax on my HP Photosmart 7510, installing the firmwear update. Unfortunately the update disconnected the printer from the wireless connection and I was unable to reconnect it.
I contacted HP support by phone at approximately 5:45 p.m. The first person I talked to was able to get the wireless working again by taking over my computer and reinstalling the softwear. Unfortunately, the softwear he installed does not resolve the eFax problem. So I was back to square one. He transfered my call to a different support rep who after considerable time was not able to get eFax to work. She "escalated" my case and I am supposed to hear back from HP in seven working days. I just got off the phone with HP support at 8:30 p.m. Not bad three hours of support and I still don't have a working eFax.Hi @josborne3,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.

PhotoSmart 310a doesn't print using wireless connection
First... I have to say that if I had known what a HUGE pain in the butt this printer was I would never have bought it. On top of that, the thing apparently doesn't have an option to "hard wire" connect it to my computer... which the guy at the store didn't bother to point out. On top of that HP's customer service is, apparently, non-existent, as attempts to reach by phone are useless.
They can't even seem to get the model number on the machine where you can find it... so the instructions on "how to find your model number" are useless.
That said... here is my problem... which if I can't fix, I'm simply returning this and getting something else.
I have my printer all set up. Wireless is set up. ePrint is set up. Test pages print fine.
I have actually been successful printing with it ONE time.... so I know that it can do it.
It does give me a "low signal" message - however it seems to have no problem printing using the email option, or downloading from the web for the "reports." It scans and my laptop "sees" the scanned image, which is transmitted over the wireless network. If it is truly a low signal problem it seems like it would have issues with other functions regarding the internet.
BUT... when I send something from my laptop (MacBook OSX 10.5.8) to the printer it says...
.. connecting
.. idle
.. priinting (%)
.. then the print job disappears from the queue in the dialog box ... yet nothing actually prints out.
.. it then say's "Printer Ready" - I guess ready for another print job that it won't perform.
.. It does NOT give any kind of error code... say it's "paused" or anything like that. It's as if it THINKS it is printing... but it does not. It makes no sound like it's trying to print either. Paper is loaded in fine and it will print test pages with no problem and doesn't indicate any problems on those other than "low signal"
... When I use the "printer utility" to print a test page - also goes wireless - it prints just fine.
I've tried to use this printer only 4 times now for various jobs... and each time has been an ordeal lasting from 30 minutes to several hours. I've managed to get it to print on one occasion... though I can not remember how I did it.
It has NO problem printing from an email... so I guess I could just always do it that way... but it involves several extra steps to do so and I'm not even sure it would work for every type of print job I need.
It works fine scanning
It works fine photocoping
It works fine printing from ePrint (email)
It just DOES not print via the wireless connection
I don't understand how a company can make something this sophisticated and not have it give you an ERROR CODE when it fails to complete a function... and frankly, I'm fed up with this thing. It's a big, oversized, shiny paperweight and I've wasted way too much of my time trying to figure it out. This is one last ditch effort.
Can anyone help? THANKS so much if you can!
SueIt is more likely a network problem, so please tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
In the mean time, you could try this quick trick; resetting the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Oh, and indeed this printer does have a USB port for connection directly to your computer. It does NOT have an Ethernet port for connection directly to your router.

Not the average problem with wireless connection. Please help me..
I've been having wireless connection problems ever since I upgraded to Verizon FiOS from Verizon Wireless. Before upgrading to Verizon FiOS in the fall of 2012, my brother's laptop connected just fine with the connection. After upgrading to Verizon FiOS, my brother's laptop could not connect to the internet. It showed the wireless connection signal as Excellent, but I could not access the internet. Either it would be extremely slow or there would be no connection at all. Also, the router would sometimes restart itself randomly, and it was extremely annoying for me since I am hardwired with my desktop.
This was weird because my iPod Touch connected perfectly fine to the wifi. So I thought it must be the laptop. But I brought the laptop over to my cousin's house, who also happens to have Verizon FiOS, and the laptop connected perfectly fine. I called Verizon and none of the technicians knew what the problem was. We tried disabling and enabling the router, changing the channels, and anything that was on the list. They couldn't help me and I was extremely disappointed because not only am I not accessing the internet with my brother's laptop, but I am also paying for the service too. The last technician I called in 2012 decided to send me a new router. I hoped this would work, but it did not. This router, too, would completely reset itself numerous times before settling down and letting me use the internet.
I gave up after that. But in the spring of 2013, I got really fed up with the service I was receiving and I decided to call Verizon again. Again, Verizon tried to help me fix the laptop with their tools and solution guides. But nothing good came out of it, so I decided to ask for a technician to come to my apartment to fix it. We scheduled a day and I was pretty excited since I was almost positive that the connection for the laptop would be fine by then.
I was wrong. The technician came and only stayed for about 20 minutes. He said it must be the laptop or it must be that the walls are too thick in my apartment. But that can't be it since, in my cousin's house, the router is on the second floor and my brother was using his laptop on the first floor. So it couldn't be the laptop nor the house. So we came to no conclusion. He just attached a mini router to the laptop and hardwired it. I wasn't so content but I was glad my brother could finally use the internet now.
About three months pass by and I decide to get myself a new laptop. I get it and I am hoping the wireless connection works. It did, so I was almost positive that it was my brother's laptop that was the problem, not the wireless signal. I go on vacation for a few days and I connect perfectly fine at my friend's house. When I return home and try to connect to my wireless connection, it didn't work!
At this point, I am extremely frustrated. I decided to call Verizon again to replace my router because it was being extremely annoying. It kept resetting itself and I was tired of it. I replaced the router, and this is the router I currently have, but I STILL have the same problem. It resets itself on its own time and I hate it because I'm always in the middle of something. Wow, just wow. There is nothing they could do to help me fix this. I call up a technician, for the millionth time, and he tells me he can't access my router. This occurred with the previous technician who sent me the new router. He tells me his tools are not working and tells me he'll call me back the next day.
It was the next day and I did not receive any phone call. I am extremely disappointed in Verizon FiOS' service and it's customer service. I leave it alone and I just hardwire my laptop to the router. Of course this works, but what's the point of having a laptop when I have to keep it hardwired on my desk? After a day or two, I decide to check if the wireless connection works, and it did. I was surprised. But every now and then, it would shift on and off. Most of the time, the wireless connection is either EXREMELY SLOW or I get none at all, nonetheless, it still says the connection is Excellent.
Please, if there is anyone who could help or try to help me, I would most appreciate it. If there is more information that you need, ask me and I will try my best to provide it to you.Admittedly, that IS a strange case. Unfortunately, it sounds like all possible troubleshooting has been done by the tech support agents. you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with your other service, did it have a similar problem? theres a possibility of dirty fiber or a bad ONT port, but the random rebooting of the router would almost exclusively be a bad router. question: is the router in the same location as before?

HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably
For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top): We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago. We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office. It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room. Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office. DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months). So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects? And how can we stop it?
NOTE! Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus. The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
WHO WE ARE: My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement. We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
OUR CONFIGURATION:
PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012: HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection. These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network. The 270f has a dual-band wireless board. Both bands work. We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection. The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues. (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
ROUTER: Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking. Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house. No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
PRINTERS: Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it. And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer. By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
OTHER: We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house. (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com). We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s: HPU
UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002.
SYMPTOMS: The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation. But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications. Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”. Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!). Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later. So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule! Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away. But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on. As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
PREVIOUSLY TRIED: After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer. It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet. The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection. As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet. This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours. Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem. They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else. At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat. But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it. During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that). After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC. One giant leap backwards. That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over. When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything. Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds). BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
B.L.A.B. (Bottom Line At Bottom): We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail. This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably. Please help!
Thanks –
Bob and Jane
(Note: we have an appointment from about 11:20 am EDT – 1 pm EDT, 8:20 am PDT till about 10 am PDT)I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

Ethernet connectability completely frozen-out by frozen SES-mode; WTR54GS
On a reset i accidentilly hit the SES button, now on my ethernet connection, the "Secure Easy Setup" button is frozen white. i've browsed th web, found other people have encountered same problem.
i've spent probably 100 hours, trying many fixes, including your company's suggestions -- to no avail! (note: multiple reset attempts still won't fix this).
my PC and ethernet card work fine on other products, it's just that wtr54gs has now frozen me out by your proprietary SES-mode. i've tried, via the wireless set-up, assigning fixed ip ( e.g. : 192.168.16.100) to my ethernet + your suggsted 192.168.16.50 to re-flash firmware -- nothing works! can't even get a dhcp ip from wtr54gs,because the frozen SES-mode has my ethernet connectability completely frozen-out.
re-flash firmware won't go on wirelessly either, a "failure" message appears like "not suficient system resources" -- **bleep**! -- on my Windows task manager networking screen i see i'm sending megabits of
firmware data, but the wtr54gs only picks up about 10% of the sent amount -- seems the wtr54gs can't handle the speed my wireless adapter is sending it ( also connection is strong, i'm 4 feet away from it ). i don't know how to force data rate to go slower ( on ethernet card i've reduced rate + to half-duplex, but, of course that a no go, since the wtr completely has my ethernet connection frozen-out in the first place, my original concern!).
i bought a D-link DWL-G730AP travel router, hoping theirs would be better, but it's very shoddy, very poor reception and difficult interface. i'm returning that. i long for the days when my Linksys product used
to work -- Please Help Me Fix It !!!
i used to use wtr54gs as a client-mode, connected to my PC via the ethernet connection, and the wtr54gs incoming internet connection was set to "wireless" -- all woked great, until this freezing-out problem.
if the SES-mode is internally permanently freezing me out on ethernet connectability, it appears i'm going to have to get a replacement ( as, other people on the web, similarly-situated, have stated).
my original purchase was about $60, but i see Amazon is recently selling the wtr54gs for $180!! -- i'm NOT buying a replacement at that cost!! please, either help me fix my frozen wtr54gs, or, since i'm
covered by warranty, tell me the procedure to get a replacement / exchange.

my original purchase was about $60, but i see Amazon is recently selling the wtr54gs for $180!! -- i'm NOT buying a replacement at that cost!! please, either help me fix my frozen wtr54gs, or, since i'm
covered by warranty, tell me the procedure to get a replacement / exchange.

Wireless Connection Sometimes Requires A Reboot To Work
I have had this going on for about two months. My wireless connection will work fine for a while and then suddenly slow down and eventually drop out completely. A reboot is the only thing that brings it back, but the cycle always starts over again. I've posted a few logs here, but if there is something more someone needs please let me know. The Arch system is the only device on my network that is experiencing this issue. I've also tried adding options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf. I thought this had worked until today when I booted up and eventually had the same issue. I am running the x86_x64 variant of Arch with kernel 3.18.4-1-ARCH #1. The position of all my equipment remains unchanged so I'm guessing either the card is dying or I have a bug. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Unable to wirelessly connect to printer after switching ISP providers
I recently moved and needed to change ISP providers. My Mac is up and running wirelessly on the new network, but I can't seem to configure my HP printer. Model: HP LaserJet P1102w. Mac OS: X. Problem details: Wireless icon blinks for several seconds, then turns off. Attempted to setup wireless connection using Finder, then Applications, then System Preferences, then Print & Fax, then Open Print Queue. When I click on Utility, there is no option for HTMLConfig. Also, unable to find instructions for printing network configuration page or performing wireless network test. This printer was working successfully, wirelessly, at my former home. Thank you in advance for your help!
It sounds like the printer just needs to be added to the new network.
Uninstall the printer software completely and follow the steps for your OS X version in this document from HP.
What OS X version is being used?
What brand and model is the router?

Wireless Connection never wakes up HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
There seems to be quite a bit of chatter regarding the wireless connection on an HP 8600 going to sleep (ECON mode) and never waking up (at least with Windows XP SP3). Mine does this too -- when hard wired, the HP Printer works fine. I really do not believe this is a static IP problem. FYI: Any cheaply made router has DHCP Static IP address assignment through MAC lookup - this is the way you should be setting up your system. Anyway, I believe the problem has to do with the ARP Multicast broadcast that is issued by the print spooler in Windows XP that broadcasts "--where is the HP Printer--?". Hopefully there is a picture attached to this document. Since I develop drivers for a living, it was a simple "snif" of the packets through a protocol analyzer (I used a freebie one called wireshark for this exercise) that shows fairly clearly the HP printer is completely ignoring a standard ARP Multicast "wake up" message on "who has ....IP... address??". In my case the "IP" address of the HP printer is xx.109 and my computer is xx.114. Look at the trace. ARP is asking who has the MAC address of xx.109. (this is a standard ARP multicast call). The HP printer even though it is sleeping and --should-- continue to monitor all multicast IP traffic, should see the simple ARP message, and say "we're here! we're here! we're here!". Looking at the trace, it is fairly obvious the HP printer is completely ignoring the message.
So, hey HP guys, what else do you need from me to help you fix your problem... Just give me a shout and I will be more than happy to help out any way I can, thanks HHDid you even read the "thread start" message, and analyze the attached bitmap? If you did, you would realize your form letter has no bearing on this thread. So to answer your question, No, your response has no effect on the issue.

Home Hub 3: ethernet & wireless connections from i...
I have a perplexing problem whereby the functionality I get from my Home Hub 3 is different depending on whether my brand new iMac computer running MacOS 10.7.2 is connected wired (i.e. using ethernet) or via wireless.
The functionality difference has shown itself to me in the two scenarios below. It's a problem to me because the problems occur when the iMac is connected via ethernet and I want to use ethernet to connect my iMac. If the wireless connection to the iMac was as reliable as everything else on my network (mac laptops also running 10.7.2, windows 7 laptops, iphones, ipads etc) I would be content to use wireless. However, the iMac frequently drops the signal requiring a wireless on/off to get it back. I'm tending to hold the iMac responsible for this and await an Apple fix, although having changed the security setting on the Home Hub 3 to WPA2 only and set the channel to channel 4, the wireless dropouts are much less frequent, without these changes it drops the signal every few minutes. Any input on this would be gratefully received.
I want wired for connection reliability (and speed), but I have a two situations where I get more functionality out of my network if the iMac is connected via wireless. A classic case of being caught between two stools.
Scenario 1
I have a WD MyBook Live NAS drive attached to the Home Hob 3 via ethernet with the intention of using it as a Time Machine backup disc for the iMac and to be a shared drive for our macbook and windows laptops. All seems fine at first with the iMac connected via ethernet, the browser can see the NAS drive and set it up etc, but Time Machine will only see the WD MyBook Live if wireless is switched on.
Scenario 2
I have an HP 5510 wireless printer and set it up and HP software installed on the iMac. With the iMac connected to the Home Hub 3 via ethernet printing is fine, however, scanning doesn't work, the scanner and iMac cant see each other. With wireless scanning is fine as well as printing.
I haven't wanted to mess with it all any more, Ive spent hours going through the HP software, the WD software, the router as well as the network preferences on the iMac. It's not making make sense. Anybody who knows what's going on here would be a genius in my book!Hi mja, Apologies but I'm not the expert you're looking for, but a couple of my experiences may be of interest. I've got a WD my book running as a networked back up drive. A while back there was an update for a "USB" connected hard drive (which mine is definitely not) - this confused my PC -- wouldn't let it close down amongst many other symptoms --with great difficuly managed to disable the driver and sanity was restored. The other problem involved a print server that has a static IP address -------- my HH3 sometimes gives that IP address to other items on my network --------- this stops the printer working. Apologies if this post is not formatted correctly, I'm using an iPad --- not by choice,, All the best Michael

Cannot Connect to Domain Through Wireless Connection
Hello TechNet Gurus,
As the title suggests, I am having issues connecting to my domain through a wireless connection. I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 (Data Center and Enterprise) to build my understanding of server administration to supplement my undergraduate
coursework (B.S. Computer Engineering & Cyber Security minor). So far I have a working domain controller attached to a switch that I re-purposed from an old WRT54G Linksys router. In turn, the switch is attached to a WRT54GS Linksys router.
When connected through physical media, the domain controller works as expected. I can connect to the domain from two personal laptops running Windows 7 Professional and from two virtual environments running Windows 7 Enterprise. Through these connections, I
can divvy out group policy, access network drives, and other services successfully. However, I attempted to connect wireless, and when I do, I continually get an error indicating that my username/password is incorrect. I carefully re-input the login information
(over-and-over), and I even recreated the user/computer objects. All to no avail.
After a couple of days of research between classes, homework, and work, I found some promising tips:
Added the following entry to the registry for the local machine: %comspec% /c netsh wlan connect name="JBnetwork"
Added the following local group policy (using gpedit.msc): Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
Unfortunately, the above tips have not resolved the issue. From what I understand, the issue stems from the order that the wireless software and domain authenticate. I have also read that this may purely be a networking issue that is not directly related
to Active Directory or Windows 7 configurations. Whatever the situation is, this has me completely stumped and I could use some expert advice.
This is my ipconfig, for the reference:

Thanks to anyone who can help!@Zanderol24,
Thanks for following up with me. I completely forgot about this post because I was able to figure out a solution by poking around in Group Policy.
The issue was a pretty simple fix. I tweaked the wireless policy a bit: Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies.
Thanks again! -
OfficeJet wireless connection problems
I am hoping someone can help me as I have exhausted every option I can find.
I bought an OfficeJet 6830 All in one printer. I have several devices that need access to it.
My desktop Dell uses a USB cable to connect to the printer and it works well.
I have three laptops that I would like to connect wirelessly to the printer, but I can't get any of them to identify the printer.
I can install the printer using a USB cable, so I know the software and drivers will install.
When I set up the printer, I set up the wireless connection. The printer attaches to my Actiontec router (FiOS) and I can log into the router to see the device. It shows it as active. The blue light on the front panel of the printer is on and solid. I can check the settings in the printer and it shows the correct SSID and correct format for an IP address. I have set it up as a static address in the router and manually set it in the printer.
The problem occurs when I try to install the software on the laptops. I get to the point wher I specify the connection as Wireless and the software attempts to find the printer, but it never finds it. I have tried manually typing in the address for the printer, but this does not help with discovery.
I even tried installing the drivers and software using the USB cable which was successful. I then tried to convert the connection from USB to Wireless, but I don't think the software was waiting long enough for the printer to establish an IP address, because it would show a panel that stated the printer was connected to the network but waiting on an IP address. I would select Wait for the printer to establish an IP address, but even after the printer's blue light stopped flashing and stayed solid, the software still cannot find the printer.
Anyone have further suggestions I might try to get it connected to my laptop?
I would hate to ship back the printer, but if I can't print wirelessly, then I need to find a better printer
Thanks.
Update:
I found the Actiontec article and reread it twice before noticing that AES encryption was needed rather than the TKIP/AES I was using. I changed it to AES and I was able to install the software and get the printer to communicate with the laptop over the wireless connection.
Unfortunately, it didn't last very long as it is again refusing to communicate between the laptop and printer.
Does anyone have a clue what's going wrong?
ThanksHi blbower,
Well, by the sounds of things we may have our work cut out for us.
Let's start off right frm square one.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please remove the usb cable from the Windows XP computer and from the printer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
If you have already attempted to install the software and drivers on the Windows 7 computers, please click on the following link for Uninstalling the Printer Software. I suggest you do this for each computer so that we are starting off clean.
Once the uninstall is complete, please restart each computer so that the changes take affect.
If you have any firewalls or anti virus protection running, disable it on each and every computer.
This next link is the HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers .Please save this file on each computer to the Desktop so that it creates its own icon.
Double click the new icon and follow the instructions for the installation.
These steps will need to be done on each system.
On the printers main display, we are going to need to reset the Network Defaults so that it starts off fresh.
On the front touch panel, scroll to the right to the Setup option, go to Network set up and then to Restore Network Defaults. Press YES to make the changes.
Once it has been reset, go to the Network Setup option once again and this time select Wireless Set up Wizard. Once this is complete you will then see an IP address that you can add to each computer on the portion where it asks for a connection option in the installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks once again for your time.
