Any Solution to the Printer connection problems with T-Mobile Gateways?
Installed my Arcadyan KYD21 Router last Friday, and everything works fine except that I cannot get my HP 8600 printer connected. Been through multiple conversations with support, and tried everything...
Got my Brother MCF working finally. TM gateway app showed my printer in the devices tab, but other devices couldn't connect to it. Solución:
1 open gateway app and select network tab
2 tap + button lower right
3 create a new Ssid and password
4 set frequency band to 2.4 Ghz
5 set WPA Version to WPA/WPA2
6 set WPA Encryption to AES (TKIP & AES)
7 Tap SAVE
8 Reconfigure your printer wifi to connect to the new SSID you just created.
9 Once connected other devices should connect to the printer.
Note: Before creating the new SSID , I already had separate 2.4 and 5.0 networks set up with different SSIDs.
If that is the model I am thinking it is then it is like 8 years old. You state HP 8600 so what exact model. Does it have an ethernet interface for a wired connection? The radio appears to be only 802.11 b/g/n - 2.4 GHz networks only. That would probably also suggest it only supports WEP or WPA but nothing more secure.
