Archer c9 vs Samsung printers - no connection!
Model : archer c9
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : last - Oct 2015
ISP : Rogers Canada
Exactly same problem here.
My printer is Mx288 series, actually xpress M2885FW laser mono multifunction. Printer was working before with the hitron modem from Rogers, bought the archer c9 on black Friday, and got no connection. Signal from WiFi can be seen from the printer menu. Password is entered and no connection. By wps, no connection. Got in contact with Samsung. Waste of time, they know less tha the manual.
SUMMARIZING WHAT I TRIED AND IT DID NOT WORK:
-Turn off 5g
-Bring printer side by side to router
-Change 2.4g channels to 1, 6, 11
-Change to 20 mhz, 40 mhz and auto
-Install by USB cable or direct connect.
-Change printer's WiFi WPS to pbc/pin. Nothing.
-Turn off all firewalls on router and windows
-Turn off the internet connection.
-Update router firmware. Update Printer firmware as well.
The only options I did not try:
-Activate guest network, but I noticed it is not showing up, so I will give a factory reset on the router.
- Change bgn standards, but I can as other equipments rely on 802.1b yet. I could try N just as a test.
- Turn off upnp (does not make sense, but I can try).
Note: I can connect to the printer by ad hoc, can connect printer to the router by cable and USB. Works fine, but the office is far from the router, so I do not look for workarounds as this.
THE ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT WORK IS THE PRINTER TO ROUTER WIRELESS CONNECTION.
