Re: J6480 Printer Wireless Fails due to MAC address filtering?

I resolved the issue today. I decided to see if there were router settings that might be causing a problem. The Netgear WGT624 wireless mode was set to "Auto 108Mbps". I changed this to "b and g" mode and it worked fine after that. Not sure why, but the problem is resolved.

 

Thanks very much for your time and help!

Good find -- I should have thought of that.

 

Many 802.11g wireless-routers, in an attempt to differentiate themselves, implemented proprietary Wi-Fi modes that broke compatibility with standard 802.11g devices.

 

Thanks for letting us know the solution.

This is the solution for the DLink router also

Set 802.11 Mode to g and b on the router control panel

Then the "No Filtering" error goes away.

The printer must be using 802.11b only. 

Previously I had been set to g and n
