Printer won't connect
Time Warner gave me a new modem and now I can't connect my Brother wireless printer to the network. The router is wired to my destop and I can't logon to it (IP 192.168.1.1) from the desktop. However...
Elaine,
Thanks for your reply. I have resolved this. For whatever reason, my network will not recognize my printer from my desktop. I connected a USB cable from the desktop to the printer and it prints. My network does recognize my printer from my laptop. My printer does print wirelessly from my laptop. That my desktop is eight years old probably has something to do with it.

Sounds like a desktop problem.
What's the IP address of your desktop computer?
Is the desktop directly connected to the router using ethernet cable or this is also running wirelessly?
The reason why you cannot access the admin page of the router is that the desktop might not have the correct range of IP address.
