Like many of you, my home network has a wireless router that beams signal to computers and devices. My signal strength had been getting smaller and weaker, so yesterday I went out and bought a new router. A big, strong, dual band router from Netgear. Came home and started the installation. After a frustrating hour, I decided that my modem had taken a dump also, so I went back to the box store and bought another box. Came back home, called my ISP, and got the modem installed. So, now I'm running a nice, new strong wireless system that is completely password protected.
However, suddenly, my laptop computer won't talk to my network printer. That's not normally a problem, but I'm having trouble downloading and installing a driver. Something changed and my Toshiba laptop doesn't want to work with my HP printer. It's aggravating, but I can work around it. I probably have a box un-checked in some setup routine, and I'll figger it out. Still, it bugs me when things that are supposed to work together don't.
I can hear all you Mac guys howling. Fuggetaboudit. I'm not a Mac user.
Um... maybe check to see if there is now a security requirement to get to the printer... Sometimes you need to add a WPA2 password to allow the printer to accept commands.
