Deskjet 3520 wifi WPA2 compatibility

[DMJ3000]

Hi,

I would like to know if the Deskjet 3520 is compatible with the WPA2 wifi security.

The data sheet does not include the wifi security compatibility (WPA2, WPA, WEP).

Thanks a lot.

The manual only talks WPA being the highest.  What is the issue?  Set your router to WPA2 only, then try WPA/WPA2 mixed mode.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm going to buy this printer, so I can't do this test, but I can't set the router in WPA/WPA2 mixed mode and I have to use WPA2 only, so I don't want to have issues buying this printer.

Is it possible that a 2013 wifi printer has not WPA2 protection?

[sabretooth04]

I doubt it.  The manual says b/g/n support so I would assume WPA2 support.  But I can't find any reference.  If someone else doesn't pipe in here, I would call HP and ask for verification.

I would like to contact HP, but I can't find a contact without having a product serial number.

It's about 20 years I buy HP printers and scanners, but in these days I'm thinking to buy an Epson or Samsung.

I can't find this simple information about WPA2 and I can't contact HP via email or web form. Very disappointed!

I have found the way to write to HP, but I received no answer till now.
I have called to more than one phone numbers, but they say pre-sales information should be found on HP website.

If the HP product page is lacking in WPA2 compatibility, WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO KNOW IT???

Hey DMJ3000,

I do not have a product reference stating the encryption capacity of this model, but can tell you from experience with this series printer that it does support WPA2 (AES encryption).

Thanks jason_h.
At this point the only way to confirm what you say is to buy and try this model. It's pathetic to find it out in this way.

Hey,

I understand the frustrations, but I at least wanted to clarify on the issue.  I have the 3510 e-All-in-One where I am located and this model is currently connected to a WPA2 (AES) connection type.  The 3520 and 3510 have the same network card with the same networking capabilities.

Best of luck,

Jason
