Connecting Printer to Tenda Nova MW6 mesh network

[JoSiang]

Hi Guys, 

This worked for me, i hope it helps you.

Look under your printer General Settings on your printer, and turn off IPv6. I don’t know why or how it mattered, but that allowed the password entry

But yes, HP, get with the times........ it’s on you, HP.

Just disable Fast roaming option in Tenda Wifi device and reconnect HP printer. This should fix it.

Thanks, I'm using the 2630, put it in new setup mode (hold WiFi and cancel button for 3 secs) then disabled fast roaming and enabled the 2.4ghz setting in the Tenda app and worked straight away no problems.

Yep that works whilst data roaming is switch off.  Once it is switched on the printer disconnects.  FR is far more valuable to me than the printer connectivity direct...it connects fine with a wireless powerline connected to the Tenda.

Happy with this workaround

Thanks! This was the tip I needed.  I went into the MW6 Menu on my phone, turn off the Fast Roaming and voilá!! It is working again!

Help, I turned off fast roaming and was able to enter pw for my network and able to connected wirelessly but when I go to print says the printer is offline. How do I fix this ?

Thanks so much, so close but no worky.

What is the consensus after turning off fast roaming? Do I leave off or turn it back on.

Another user said the printer disconnects when FR is turned off. Is that true?

Thanks in advance

I was having the same issue with Tenda MW-6 and a HP Envy 4502 - I came across this other support article Connecting Printer to Tenda Nova MW6 mesh network - Page 2 - HP Support Community - 7478489 - disabling Fast Roaming from the Tenda WiFi app allowed me to connect to the printer to wifi, then I re-enabled Fast Roaming - so far so good

Hi

No matter what I tried, when I turned fast roaming back on the printer disconnected.   Mesh without auto handover is like a bucket with holes in so I bit the bullet and bought a new printer....connected first time.

Time to get with progress HP
