HP OfficeJet 7410 Wireless Networking - Adding WPA2

[DSG11]

My Officejet does not support WPA2, the protocol for my new wireless network.  Is there anyway I can upload new software into the device so I can either make WPA2 the default or make it a selectable option?  My broadband feed and wireless router are not in a convenient location, making a hardwire connection to those for the printer problematic.

Any solutions?

Thanks in advance for your support.

No, sorry, there is no way to update your printer to support WPA2.

Your only choices are a new printer or to change your router to WPA or perhaps a WPA/WPA2 mode.

If your router has an option for WPA/WPA2 use that.  If it does not, use WPA2 and use "TKIP or AES" as the encryption method if that's an available option on your wireless router.  On a linksys router these options are available on the wireless security tab on your routers configuration page.

EUREKA, i figiured out how to make office jet 7410 work with my Airport Extreme router. I'm not a techy so i'm not clear on the WPA2, WPA...and teh rest. I just know that when i tried to connect my printer to my network it wouldn't accept the network password because my password did not meet the 16 charachter length or 5 character lenght requirment for WEP.

Solution: I created a Guest Network on my wireless network and made it open (no password required). i then went to my 7410 and selected the guest network and because no password was required, it connected. problem solved. Hope this helps.

Uh, well, sort of.  Although your printer is connected to Guest, your computers cannot see Guest from your main network.
