|
|
A few weeks ago, I put a security key on my wireless network. Ever since, my printer which is a Canon MX860 will not connect to the wireless router, making it unable to print. I've gone through all of the printer settings and can't find out how to reconnect the printer. Can anyone help? I'd appreciate it :)

Find out the model number of the printer, go to google and enter the model number then type "wireless key connect" (or something to that effect) then look for forums where others have had your problem or a guide instructing how to do it.

You can also use mac filtering so that only those with a certain mac adress can find your network.
That or you gonna have install software (printer driver) and connect it thru usb and set it up to send the password to the router.

Your printer obviously isn't able to access the printer because there is a security key on it now.
Go back to the beginning of the connection setup process with the printer, and this time around make sure you select the encryption (such as WPA or WEP) and then input the pass code/security key.

I took off the security key after noticing the printer had stopped working once I put it on.
