NetGear RAX45 Access Control Preventing Access to Allowed Device
I have a NetGear RAX45 with the latest firmware. We have always had Access Control turned on, to allow only our devices. Just within the last couple weeks, we can no longer connect to our Canon print...
Is the printer on wifi?
The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.
The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.
Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.
Just another user with time on their hands.
Thanks for your answer. The printer is on wifi. But it has worked for years up until a few years ago with Access Control on. Now, I have to turn Access Control off in order to be able to print to it from any of our devices. So the problem is with Access Control somehow.
