Canon printer will not connect to T-Mobile 5G Gateway home internet
I have the Arcadyan KVD21 Gateway and a Canon PIXMA TR4520 printer. I have tried multiple methods to connect the printer to the T-Mobile wifi network and am still unsuccessful. Currently, I am attemp...
For my Pixma MG5420, I had to change the WPA version on the Tmobile gateway app (Network tab, select your wifi network, under WPA version, change to WPA/WPA2 from WPA2/WPA3). Then on the printer, go to Device Settings ->LAN settings, ->wireless lan setup, ->Other setup options, ->Standard setup,->select access point, → Directly enter the access point name, then manually enter your wifi network and the passcode. Voila! This is after a fruitless call to Tmobile tech support, which described the problem I had connecting to a printer problem, and transfer me to Cannon tech support, which never connected me to a live person, but instead directed me to their website, then hung up.
Good you got it connected. Another thing came up. I had to choose between a more secure WPA3 or wireless printing. I connected back to my original settings. I had to login but I expected that. What I didn't expect was one of my macs wasn't connecting. I moved closer to the gateway and got connected.
I had a feeling I could have more than one network. So I looked and found how to create another network. Its on the t mobile internet app under Network. I can use this network for my wireless mac with WPA/WPA2 and 2.4 GHz.
USB connected printers are heaven on earth.
