Having trouble setting up a Xerox Phaser wireless printer to the Nighthawk router? The printer message reads "IP address not recognized".

Issue was internal with the Xerox printer. Rep came out and first set it up as a direct print from devices to Xerox Phaser (with a password) but that was so slow I asked him to please set it up through the net gear router which turned out to be must faster. Works fine now.

Hi lkdnv,

Make sure the IP address is set to dynamic on the printer and not static.

  Hi lkdnv,

    Update: Spent 3 hrs on the phone with Xerox today. Installed new printer driver for my Mac, new software for the Printer and installed the new wireless adapter. Still wifi not working so a xerox rep is coming out tomorrow. Moved it close to the router so we could hook it up with a HTML cable/to the Ethernet and printing that way for now.

  Thank you. I will try that. Waiting for Xerox to receive a new wifi part that they believe is faulty.
