Archer C8, cannot connect with Samsung wifi printer M2875FW
Region : Canada
Model : Archer C8
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : Latest, march 2015
ISP :
Hi,
I just bought a TP-Link Archer C8 to upgrade a home wireless network. I previously had a Linksys E4200 that was now a bit outdated.
i received the TP link yesterday and promptly installed the router into my home network. Everything works nicely with good speed and nice range but I cannot make my Samsung Multifunction Printer to wirelessly work with any computer/phone/tablet in the house. It is a model M2875FW, that was working nicely before with my old Linksys router.
i did reinstall everything, update all drivers, tried to restart and set the printer to factory defaults and get a fresh start, it just doesn't connect with the Archer C8. I can print no problem via USB but the printer is unable to be connected to the home wireless network for unknown reasons so far.
I tried the WPS button on my printer AND the C8, it gets stuck at "Connecting...." and never moves forward. I tried to connect the printer via USB cable to set the wireless network, no luck there too...
Out of ideas here...any tips??
Thanks!!
Seb

@DanEE You are right. Thank you so much for sharing.
It worked for me too.
"THE WIFI DIRECT NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF" by DanEE
It worked, finally. It's been years we struggled with the SAMSUNG M2070FW that didn't want to connect to WIFI from TP-LINK ARCHER C9 (EU)
It worked immediately. I love when it works immediately.
Such a good day
