Re: Printer connection

The Nokia GW offers no filtering for the LAN and it is unlikely the Arcadyan does either given it has fewer configuration options than the prior Nokia T-Mobile gateway. There are firewall rules for the WAN but for the local LAN the printer should be recognized and joined as long as the SSID is a match andauthentication is correct. Users have no influence over the open or closed ports on the WAN side so I don't know how you can do what you are after. Of course there are some older printers that don't seem to play well with the T-Mobile gateway.If you are getting a message about filtering maybe it is not a proper/accuratemessage. What suggests to youthe MAC address of the printer needs to be permitted? Post the model of the printer. It may be an authentication issue not a filtering condition. I have a HP Envy 5330 and the report gave me recommendations to add the printers MAC address to the router permitted devices. I am not able to connect even with the 5g wireless with a 2.5g wifi setup3Visto0likes0Comentarios
