HP Recommended

For a good few hours I have been trying to link a HP 3050 to the new Vodafone PowerHub. The printer connects to a Windows 10 laptop to print with success, with a USB cable, but fails miserably to connect to the same wifi that the machine (laptop) is on. With the old router it did.

It seems that I have to delve into the Mac Filtering, this seems impossible with the Web UI access of http://192. etc, but alas I have failed to find this.

Any solution ideas ?

Can the USB port on the back of the router be used to connect the printer to the network.?

 

The HP Wireless Network Test Results, were as follows:

ATTENTION
Your HP printer is unable to connect to your wireless router. MAC address filtering my be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent your HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.

SOLUTION
If MAC address filtering is enabled and yo would like to keep it enabled yo must add the MAC address of your printer (available in this Test Report) to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.

From what I can gather it used to be possible to edit the MAC allowances on the http://192.1.1 Vodafone

 

 

 

Many thanks,

Martin
