Title: Lexmark Wireless Printer Problem
Post by: gfreek on March 06, 2012, 02:09:51 PM

Lexmark S600 wireless printer.  It worked fine with my old dlink router but now with the new DIR 655 I have to reboot the router after afew days to communicate with the printer.  Any suggestions on what I need to do?  Thanks..

Some things to try:
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.

What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out.

Thanks.  Admit that I have no idea what some are, but i'll try.    There are no other routers, no security passwords just wide open basic setup.  I have no neighbors.
