Wireless connection unable to automatically connect

My wireless router is working perfectly as other devices are having no trouble connecting wirelessly. My HP LaserJet CP1525nw will not find the wireless connection for wireless printing. Apparently HP does not support these problems unless the warranty is current. I am NOT a techy, so I am lost for how to proceed. I have tried to follow the instructions for connection displayed int he window of the printer, no success. HELP please

Hi @alice12,
I understand that you are unable to setup the printer over the wireless network. I can help you with this.
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.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Select Method one under Windows.
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.
Method One:
To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using WPS:
(your router would have to support WPS)
Start the WPS push button mode on your printer.
Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
Then run add a printer wizard in devices and printers.
Method Two:
Uninstall the printer software.
Insert the software CD into the CD drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
When prompted, select the Connect through a wireless network option.
Method Three:
Connect the printer to the router with a Ethernet cable.
Wait about 1 minute and the printer should have a valid IP address.
Print the configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Type the IP address into Internet Explorer address bar which should open the printer's embedded web services page.
Setup the wireless through here now.
Click on the networking tab, wireless on the left, fill out the network information and apply the settings.
After the confirmation, then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Now you should have a blue wireless light on the printer in about 1 minute.
Run the add printer wizard through devices and printers to install the printer.

Wrt54g2 wireless router--unable to establish connectivity

I have to unplug/replug my router powercord connection every time i want to use my laptop to access the internet. i have reinstalled the software disc that came with my router. i have have comcast check my modem--no problems. any suggestions? do i need a new router?

If that is the case then you can try the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Click on Wireless Tab and make the wireless channel to 6, 9 or 11. (These are considered to be the best)…
# Click on the Advanced Wireless Settings change Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, RTS Threshold to 2307...
# After doing these settings check for the connectivity….
Also, make sure that you do not have any interfering devices like Microwaves and cordless phones near the wireless router. These devices work on the same frequency as that of the router works…

PC will not automatically connect to wireless network on startup...

Hi all - I have a WRTG54 wirless router with the latest firmware. Windows XP Home SP2. I have a mixed network with two wired PCs and one wireless. The wireless PC will not automatically connect to the network. To connect to the network i have to go to the wireless network properties box and check "let windows automatically configure network" Once I do this the wirelss PC connects with no problem. Unfortunatley, whenever i turn the PC off and turn it back on the "let windows automatically configure network" is unchecked and i have to go through the process of checking it again. I uninstalled the wireless adapter and reinstalled the drivers only and then ran the windows wireless setup wizard but the problem persists. Any help on this would be much appreciated.!!!! Thanks!!

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Do not let "Windows automatically configure your network". Instead do the following:
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. It should connect automatically. If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
Some users have reported improved wireless connections by switching to WPA ( = WPA with TKIP) encryption.

10.6.7 fails automatic connection to wireless

Since the 10.6.7 update on my early 2010 MacBook Pro, I have had unreliable networking. I move between home and work, wireless and wired. The wireless configuration is saved, and it previously quickly and automatically connected. Now, at each site when I first connect to the network, it doesn't make a connection and on wireless it doesn't automatically connect. I have to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect wireless or unplug and replug in the wire.
This latest time on the wire, I tried four times, and it still would not connect. So, I tried turning wireless off and on, and the wired then connected. Before, I only tried unplug/replug the wire, and that worked.
I've looked at the networking configuration, and the IP address and DNS are correct. But, I cannot connect to the network. No web browsing, no email.
It looks like 10.6.7 introduced a fault in networking related to connecting wirelessly.
Has anyone else seen this? Any insights?
Thanks,
==Leonard

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

My Iphone 5 will not automatically connect to my wireless network

Each time I want to connect my home wireless, I need to go into settings and manually connect, rather than automatic connection, which is what happened with my i4s. How can I change this?

I downloaded and installed the latest software for the iPhone 5 (Version 6.1.3) - the version originally installed was 6.1.2. Same problem exists - iPhone will not automatically connect to my home WiFi. Even after I select my network and it connects. If I turn WiFi off and then back on again, it will not automatically connect. The iPhone screen states "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network." How do I get the iPhone to work as specified above? Thanks.

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

Unable to automatically re-connect to wireless network

When I reboot my iBook, it does not automatically re-connect to my wireless network. I need to click the wireless icon, select "Other", and manually type in the network name and password everytime. I have a standard Linksys Wireless Access Point with SSID Broadcast turned off. Even with the broadcast turned on, it still won't reconnect. I have the password saved in my keychain also, and it is set to automatically connect to it in Network Preferences.
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.3GHz, 14inch

I'm having a similar problem, all of the sudden my MacBook won't connect to my Linksys WAP54G, that also has the SSID Broadcast turned off. The difference is that when I turn the SSID Broadcast on it reconnects fine. It's just when it is off that it won't reconnect automatically.
The weird thing is that at the office I have the same access point with the same settings (SSID Broadcast off, but different WEP passwords) and it connects to it fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Macbook no longer automatically connects to wireless

Hi There - I have a macbook (That I love). Just in the past few weeks since the last OS update I've had problems with my airport. Usually when you open your computer from sleep it automatically connects back to your wireless network. Mine no longer does. i have checked all my wireless settings and my WEP password is still there. If I click on airport and select my network I connect, but it doesn't do it automatically. I have seen a number of other people with the same problem....is anyone else having this issue? How do you solve it?
Here's some other references I found:

Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I am having the same issue here. I have followed the suggested fixes, to no avail. Here's a run down of my symptoms, attempted fixes, and the "fix."
when coming out of sleep, my wireless connection no longer works. i can connect to a neighbors, but when i attempt to switch back to mine, nada. airport status shows it is connected with full reception. no internet. no network connect. i got nada.
rebooted the router. nada. rebooted the cable modem. nada. rebooted modem, then the router. nada. (d-link DI-624. also had the Linksys WRTXXX)
attempted this fix: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482 nada
in order to establish a connection, i go through the following:
- when the macbook comes out of sleep, i open safari and get the network diagnostic screen prompt.
- i turn off airport, shut down safari, then turn airport back on.
- reopen safari and get the network diagnostic prompt.
- go get a cup of coffee, nature break, etc.
- come back and my internet start up page is USUALLY waiting on me.
the problem with this, is that the connection is usually DROPPED five to ten minutes into the connection and everything above is REPEATED.
my solution? as much as i hate to say it, use the PC. it doesn't have this problem. Apple needs to address this issue with a firmware upgrade NOW.

T60 does not automatically connect to wireless profile at bootup any more

Probably my rose-colored-glasses mistake again.
I let the ThinkVantage system updater install most of the latest updates last night including the
wireless adapter software. Now, when I boot up, my PC no longer automatically connects to
my wireless profile. The radio is on and it is obvious it knows the network is there because it
is highlighted in the Access Connections menu with a Connect option.
It connects just fine when click Connect.
It will still automatically switch between ethernet and wireless when I plug and unplug the
ethernet cable even if I have specifically disconnected from the wireless connection before
plugging in the ethernet cable. It also automatically connects when I log off Windows and log back on.
Is there a setting some place that controls whether it should automatically connect to a
wireless profile at bootup?
I love the brain-dead online FAQ about this exact problem.
It says to click the Connect button if it happens.
Well, duh! What do I do to make it automatically connect like it used to?
I tried unchecking the "allow computer to turn off the radio" setting as other suggested.
But, my problem is not the radio being off.
Thanks

Hi sashton,
When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the z10 to connect to the AP redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
"Site Identity Not Verifiable"
I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
"Unknown network error 3RFINA".
I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was. If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
Thanks

Same here...
I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network. I have to reselect it everytime I come to work.

Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings will "forget" all WiFi networks so you can select them again.
If the problem with your company network is not solved by doing this, are there multiple sites that have the same network name for the company network? Or is it the default network name for the router type (e.g., DLINK, LINKSYS, etc)? If so, this is what is causing the problem and there is no solution other than convincing IT that it is a bad idea to have duplicate network names.

Automatic connection to wireless network

In FreeBSD I had my wireless connections set up in wpa_supplicant.conf and in rc.conf I had someting like: ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP". Nothing else. It would automatically connect to the first available network (according to the settings in wpa_supplicant.conf). I believe it also automatically switched over to another network, as I moved arround with my laptop.
In Arch I tried the same thing, but I don't think it understood wlan0="wpa dhcp" in rc.conf, because it didn't work. It surprises me that it doesn't seem to be as simple as that.
I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to set this up as simple as in FreeBSD - without installation of netcfg or anythink like that - just using wpa_supplicant?
2) With netcfg I have a long waiting time while wireless profiles fail at boot - one after another. Can I have netcfg do it faster - perhaps by having it do a scan and NOT try to connect to networks that aren't even in the scan results?

1) Briefly, no. More specifically, you will need netcfg, wicd, networkmanager, or some other similar utility to automate wpa connections. I'm not familiar with FreeBSD, but based on the information provided, I'm absolutely certain that it is using scripting similar to netcfg. The only difference seems to be that they provide it by default, whereas Arch allows the users to install it or not as required.
