    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    Why do you assume I am inexperienced? Perhaps I knew this was an option from the start but chafed at the idea of having to run an inconvenient wire at all if there was a chance WPS would work. I do have it wired now and can set the SSID and password. Now that I've bothered to cleanly wire it up...

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    I often wonder if there'd be a market for tech that just works, not necessarily cutting edge. I guess Apple tries to control everything and make it smooth but I've never liked the limitations they impose.

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    Yes, I disabled Direct WiFi... no need for extra interference. Yes, no doubt that a wire is great, but it still sucks that WPS didn't work. It's not always convenient to run a wire. Part of the reason I bought a wireless printer was that I could put it anywhere without having to worry about...

    I plugged it in. So much for a wireless connection. Thank you for your replies.

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    I only have the 2.4G network enabled. Didn't get any option to enter the info in the setup. I thought maybe I could connect to the WiFi Direct network and enter the info but I don't have a password. The Internet says the default is 12345678 but no dice for me.

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    I used WPS with my old router. Wiring it is an option. I'd prefer to use the wireless feature I bought. If WPS is officially broken I will probably wire it up.

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    No, the geniuses who designed didn't include a way to key in the SSID and password. It's either Wi-Fi Direct (seperate network) or WPS. It may be possible to plug in an Ethernet cable and enter the SSID and password. Still want to know if WPS is supposed to work, because it sure looks like it...

    AC86U WPS not working to connect HP 452nw printer

    Trying WPS with my AC86U router to connect to HP 452nw printer. Firmware 386.4. WPS enabled in wireless settings. Connection status remains idle. Printer never connects. The router button blinks few times when I either push Start in the router GUI or push the button on the router. Is there a...
