[QUOTE="sabretooth02, post: 208334, member: 9383"] While DHCP is convenient, devices such as printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a static (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and [U]must be outside the DHCP range of the router[/U]. After setting the static IP, [B]the computer must be updated under Printer Properties/Ports to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the printers IP address. [/B] [B]1. [/B]Set a [URL='http://www.watchingthenet.com/linksys-tip-assign-static-ip-address-to-printer-while-using-dhcp-on-your-wireless-network.html']static IP in the printer (click here)[/URL] [B]outside the DHCP range of the router[/B] (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed.

Video [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEqvUKxWmq4']here explains the problem and how to fix the problem[/URL]. <-- [B]So watch this![/B] 2. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer. 3. Make sure printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not into a UPS, power strip or surge protector. This will cause the printer to drop offline and disconnect (yes verified!) [/QUOTE]
