I have a new Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 5850 printer, which
is Wi-Fi capable. My problem is that, in two months, I have never been able to connect to the printer wirelessly via the MN-700. Connecting via ethernet cable works fine. I also have no problem connecting my laptop to the network and Internet via the MN-720. I have disabled all firewalls and virus programs during the printer's installation. I have re-entered the WEP keys countless times to ensure that they match, along with the other settings. I have called HP support, and exhausted all their remedies - they haven't been able to figure it out. I even returned the printer to the store for a new unit, and still I can't make this printer work wirelessly - an option that I paid extra for. I know the printer's wireless capabilities work, as it connected accidentally to my neighbor's WAP. I am using infrastructure communication (no ad hoc, please), shared key authentication and 128-bit encryption. Printer and router are on the same subnet mask, and the DHCP server is enabled. Any ideas? WBMarble |
