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.
I never thought that I would be writing a technical comment. But, here goes. After subscribing to my new T-Mobile network everything connected, with some effort, except my Canon MX922. I spent two days trying everything I knew to connect to my network. However, it would not allow me to enter a passphrase. It would simply ask my Network name and then proceed directly to the Access Point. It would not ask or allow me to enter my passphrase. Then, like all technically challenged people I decide to look on the WWW for "HOW TO" and HELP! Which led me here. After reading through a few replies, I realized that I wasn't alone. CONFUSED. Bottom line, luckily I have an old Wi-fi repeater called "WiFiBlast." I have no idea where I purchased it or if it even "truly" works. But, I connected it. Chose it as my Access Point. It allowed me to enter my passphrase. I selected a security option (I read through a few more comments for an idea) selected it and VOILA!!! I am connected. AFTER 2 DAYS!!! This shouldn't be so difficult. But, such as life. Good luck!
