Hi @dancon1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To add the MAC address of your HP 7520 printer to your T-Mobile router, follow these general steps.
Find the MAC Address of your HP 7520 Printer:
- You can usually find the MAC address in the printer's settings menu. Refer to the printer's manual if you're not sure how to do this.
Access the T-Mobile Router Settings:
- Connect to your T-Mobile router either via Wi-Fi or using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address into the address bar. The default IP address for many T-Mobile routers is often 192.168.1.1, but it may vary. Check your router's manual or documentation for the correct IP address.
Log in to the Router:
- You will need to enter the router's username and password. If you haven't changed these from the default, you can find them in the router's manual or on a sticker on the router itself.
Locate the MAC Address Filtering Option:
- This setting might be located under different menus depending on your router's firmware. Look for options related to "MAC Filtering," "Access Control," or "Wireless Settings."
Add the Printer's MAC Address:
- Once you've found the MAC filtering settings, there should be an option to add a new device or enter a MAC address.
- Enter the MAC address of your HP 7520 printer into the designated field.
Save Changes:
- After entering the MAC address, make sure to save your changes. This might be a "Save" or "Apply" button at the bottom or top of the settings page.
Reboot Router and Printer (Optional):
- Sometimes, routers require a reboot to apply changes effectively. You can do this by turning off the router for a few seconds and then turning it back on. You can also restart your printer.
Connect the Printer:
- After adding the MAC address to the router, attempt to connect your HP 7520 printer to the Wi-Fi network again. It should now be recognized and allowed to connect.
Following these steps should enable you to add the MAC address of your HP 7520 printer to your T-Mobile router, allowing it to connect wirelessly.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
