Just replaced a Dlink router for the ADSL2+Router (DGND3700) since it had great reviews online, including CNet. Anyways, the set up was a breeze, all my componentsare connected via WI-FI but I can not get my HP Deskjet 3050 wireless print to connect through WPS and this is the only method of connecting wirelessly. Printer times out after the 2 minutes allowed; I've tried it several times, even with the PIN that my printer gives out and nothing. SO frustrating. When I connect my dlink back, the printer connects just fine to its WPS. Has anyone experienced a simliar issue and can you assist before I return this to the store?

I called Netgear support but they are pitiful! Sabretooth wrote: Don't use the WPS method. Follow the instructions in the manual and connect via USB and configure your wireless settings the then remove the cable. Not as simple as you think Sabretooth. Remember that I mentioned above that my printer only allows for WPS wireless connectivity for network connection.

And I know that the wireless capabilities of the printer are still working because I can connect to it directly thru my laptop via wifi peer to peer but the issue with that is that while I'm connected to the printer I have to disconnect of the router so Internet printing will be a mission. Attempting WPS simply times out on both ends, orinter and router after a minute or so. This is frustrating, I'm about to return this damn thing and the additonal cost on a Lynksys.

I hate to say this but this is incorrect. No printer just allows 'WPS' connection only. Like I said in your manual on page 36 follow the Traditional Wireless Connection setup with a USB cable.

Once connected you then remove the cable and you are connected wirelessly. Go here for your user manual. I've never gotten WPS to work on my HP printer. The problem with the Standard wireless installation instructions are that if the printer is already installed on that device, you have to uninstall it before the it will go through the connection process again after inserting the CD. This can be timely and rather frustrating since you probably got a wireless printer so that it could be far from other devices in the first place. (I quantify 'far' as further than my cabling allows.) Every time my router power-cycled, I was losing connectivity to the printer. The work-around I found was 1.

Uninstall the printer (for the.we'll say 5th time.pretty sure it was more but who is counting?) 2. Go through standard installation again, entering wireless info. Log into the router GUI and assign a static IP to the HP printer. Short of a factory-reset on the router, you're good to go.

To enable File Sharing on your Mac, open the Sharing pane of System Preferences and select the option for File Sharing. Windows computers and Macs can then see your computer on the local network. When you connect from a Mac using OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite to another computer using file sharing, your Mac automatically tries to use the Service Message Block (SMB) protocol to communicate. If SMB is not available, it tries to connect using Apple File Protocol (AFP). To connect to a Mac or Windows computer that is sharing files on your local network, look under the Shared section of any Finder window. You can also access local file shares from Open and Save windows and sheets. To connect to a file server directly, use the Connect To Server feature of the Finder.

Select Go Connect To, and enter a URL, IP address or DNS name. You can attempt to force a specific connection protocol (such as SMB or AFP) by using a valid URL.

As long as the server you are connecting to allows the protocol you specify, the URL should work. Smb://ServerName/ShareName afp://DOMAIN;User@ServerName/ShareName. When entering a URL, the name of the shared disk, volume, or directory you are attempting to connect to (share name) must be specified. You are not prompted for it.

You cannot type spaces as part of a share name when connecting. In place of any space in the share name, use%20. When troubleshooting a connection issue, you can ping the IP address of the other computer using.

A successful ping verifies a TCP/IP connection between the two computers. This is an important first troubleshooting step when there's no response or a timeout for a connection attempt, since SMB connections involving a Mac require TCP/IP. However, a successful ping does not mean the SMB service is also available or working from the other computer. Check Microsoft support resources for information about setting up file sharing on your Microsoft Windows-based computer. These may include Help files installed on your PC, or the Microsoft online. When troubleshooting an SMB connection issue, use Console in the Utilities folder.

Console logs can help advanced users identify an issue. Some log files may appear only when logged in as an administrator. If you are connecting to a Windows SMB resource, check to see if your firewall is blocking TCP ports 137, 138, 139 and 445.

After trying the above steps, you may perform advanced troubleshooting by inspecting log entries in the Event Log of the Windows SMB resource (if you have access to it), or the relevant logs in Console on your Mac. If you are connecting to Windows XP, make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall settings on your Windows computer are not preventing your connection. SMB uses ports 137, 138, 139, and 445. These ports should be open on the Windows XP computer.

This may require 'Advanced' configuration of the XP firewall. Mac uses SMB only over the TCP/IP protocol, not the NetBEUI protocol. It may be necessary to contact your network administrator in some situations in order to grant access to your Mac from the SMB resource, or its host network configuration. Learn about.
