Re: Printer not Connecting to Wifi
I FOUND A SOLUTION!!! Apparently, the new tower is so powerful with its security that it won't let just anybody through. Here is what I tried for my wireless printer and it WORKED, because it creates a less secure connection for printers, etc.!!! 1. Open T-Mobile Internet App 2. At the bottom (where it says Home Devices Network Support More) SELECT NETWORK 3. Press the red circle with the PLUS sign in it (bottom right corner 4. Opens ADD NETWORK 5. Choose your Network NAME in the first line (where it says Wi-Fi network name (SSID)), i.e. Printer 6. Enter your password for this connection (where it says Wi-Fi network password (Key) Scroll down toAdvanced Settings: 7.CHANGE WPA VERSION from WPA2/WPA3 (recommended) to simple WPA2 (at the bottom) to make it slightly less secure When you ADD this new network to your existing one, the internet might disconnect for 90 seconds. Mine DID NOT even disconnect. Another thing I saw was CHANGING THE FREQUENCY BAND (above the WPA Version) from Automatic to 2.4 GHz, but I forgot and it still worked perfectly for my printer. So just in case it doesn't work for you, try changing that too. Then, when need to connect your printer, you can now find this new network, log in with that new password and it should work. I spent all morning trying to connect my printer (which I need for work) and it drover me crazy!!!!36Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: How to handle lack of WPS button on new Home Internet Router
