Hey there. I'm trying to connect my printer to my router. The printer says it's connected but when I get into my router it can't find it. It also says my printer is offline. I did the WPS and it says it's connected to my router but yet I don't see it and again, it say my printer is offlline. Tried rebooting everything more than once. LOL
When I connect to it, it says connected. It even tells me the name of the printer and the mac address. When I connect with WPS, same thing. tells me everything. but I can't print to it cause it's saying it's offline. The printer says it's connected. just not when I try to print.
Have had similar issues with printer, Epson in my case. Would always turn out to the the software on the PC and nothing to do with the router. The printer should show as having an IP address so you should be able to ping it as a simple test from the PC. I personally do not trust WPS and always configure the printer, or other device on the device wireless setup.
