Hello everyone,

 

My question is really simple...I have just received my AIO 966 with the internal wireless network adapter.  I have loaded the printer as a connected device onto my pc to make sure that the printer itself was working properly; and it did!  Now I have the problem with connecting the printer as a wireless network printer for my entire house.  The card is installed properly, I am only using the windows firewall that is part of Vista, and for some reason the printer is not connecting to the network. I have clicked on the "verify if the network adapter is available on network" to no avail. I keep getting an error that pops up saying that the device was not installed properly when I continue with the settings I have inputed.  Does my printer have to have a RJ45 connection to my wireless router, or can it connect to my home network through the wireless adapter in the printer?  If it can connect wirelessly then I have no idea as to what needs to be done next.  I have been looking for the MAC address of the printer to see if putting it in the filtering would help as stated on the error page, but have been unable to locate it in the spot that the error page suggests?!  What could be other solutions, please help!  For information perposes I use a WPA key that has been inputed in the proper place, and on the printer LCD screen under network signal there is none, but is has the proper name of my network and the proper settings that are used throughout my network. I have a Buffalo Airstation N-finiti wireless router that is compatible with 802.1b/g/n, two laptops that connect wirelessly and a desktop, all running Vista Ultimate.

 

Thanks John
