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.
tomwil - thanks for the reply. I didn't see anything in those threads about how to change the Gateway's transmission mode, but I'll check out the Nater Tater Youtube videos referenced.
iTinkeralot - the specific Model of the printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, Model Number on the back is: SNPRC-1101-01
I don't know how old the printer is, it isn't mine, but 8 years sounds about right. I think I used to have one of these for several years, but I'm now using an HP Color Laserjet at my residence.
I'm trying to upgrade a widow's Wifi internet from a VERY slow Century-Link DSL. Thought I'd try T-Mobile before I brought in Xfinity Cable. Everything was looking good until I tried to switch the printer over. I've spent a couple hours with T-M tech support, and have tried several times switching back and forth between combined gateway and separate 2.4g & 5G gateways. No luck on the separate 2.4G with a different name either.
If I can’t get the Arcadyan KVD21 transmission mode to talk down to the printer, I may have to pull the plug and wait for Xfinity to run a cable to the house.
