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.
