WPA authentication method on printer has been changed from the default. I didn't change it. Reset?

[AshaLynn]

Error message states "WPA authentication method on printer has been changed from the default  setting. This may cause problems when connecting to your wireless network."

It worked one day, then the next day it didn't. I also did not change the settings on my WiFi modem, nor the printer's settings.How do I change the printer settings back to default? I tried restoring my printer to factory settings via the menu, but that didn't rectify the problem.

Navigate to your printers Embedded Web Server by entering the printers IP Address into a web browser.  Review the Wireless settings and modify the WPA setting as necessary.  You should be using WPA2 in some form or another.  This may require you to temporarily connect the printer to your home router over an Ethernet cable.

If no option to connect over Ethernet Cable then you can try to configure this feature from the control panel.  However, most laserjets are really stubborn at reconfiguring network settings once they have been removed from teh defaults.  You may have to look up the Cold Reset/NVRAM Reset process for your model to start over again and configure it the correct way.

Hi John,

I have the same problem connecting my printer to my wifi .  It was working fine until l had the NBN connected. 

Would you please be so kind to explain step by step your solution as l am not computer savvy at all.
