HP CM1415fnw goes APIPA on a Thomson TG789 GW through a Netgear WN3000RP
A HP CLJ Pro CM1415fnw (MFC) on Netgear Wifi goes all APIPA on me (169.254.x.x), connecting to a Thomson TG789 gateway (192.168.1.1) through a Netgear WN3000RP range extender (192.168.1.72.)
The gateway-signal at extender is good, at the HP MFC-unit the gateway-signal is very poor and the extender signal at the MFC-unit is excellent.
In the Gateway Network Map I can see two IP-assignments from the gateway to the HP MFC-unit's WLAN-ports, based on known MAC-adresses, but I cannot connect or set-up the IP's as Network Printers on the gateway-side of the range extender. On the other side of the range extender -- the MFC-unit side -- I have full access to the MFC-unit using an APIPA-adress.
Question: Does Netgear really follow IEEE-standards to communicate by Wifi and if so, why doesn't a HP MFC 2011-unit communicate with a common gateway through Netgear Wifi 2011/2012-equipment, all on WPA/WPA2?
P.S. About the IEEE-standars; I'm asking because in another Netgear related issue it boiled down to a LaCie USB2-drive not wire-talking to a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo due to component incompabilities -- beyond the USB-standard. D.S.
