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.
My Canon Pixma iX6820 did not like the new T-Mobile Fast 5688W router either. I spent many hours trying to solve the issue. I put an ethernet expander and Powerline adaptors in the system and connected all with ethernet cables. It works great and no password is required! And the printer can be moved to locations away from the computer.
