The extender, is it actually an extender in that you can see ALL the devices connected to it on the Device Manager? Does the printer have a screen or anything where you can see its IP and then find that on the Device Manager? It may be named differently to what you are expecting.

Will I only have 1 thing from HP so I think it is the printer. But it seems to keep going to offline, I'm going to restart and try it again. I can't see the IP of the printer as it doesn't have a screen. But I was able to find an IP of the HP item in my router and I could ping it. But still it stays offline. Dunno ;p The one thing in IT that is rocket sience for me is networking.
Guess I need to start over and disable all devices to start with and add them one by one.

Is there anyway you can turn it off standby or see if when you turn it off and on again if it comes online properly. Then check if you can wirelessly print, if so then may be something to do with standby.

It used to work wireless, but even that is not working. Never tried it before I had the nighthawk with my pc. But I will try connecting it with an ethernet cable and see if I can somehow get it to work wireless later if I start over again.
Thanks for the help!
