Hello Janet,

Please click Wireless printing center to access more info on how to connect you printer to a netgear router ( wireless )

Clarification Question:
1. What is the exact error message that you get?

First check that router light is blinking. If not, need to repair or replace.

If light is blinking, you need to reset it. There will be a reset button back side of your router, press and hold it for 30 seconds. Restart your router and reconfigure.

Also check that you had enabled wireless setting. Ask here if problem still occurring http://www.vtechsquad.com/wireless-router-support/

If your router isn't running firmware v 1.0.0.46 then download that from Netgear's website and upgrade the router's firmware.

Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on yourcomputer, open a browser and enter the Netgear configuration URL -
http://192.168.0.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = passwordYou can now change the default admin password and configurethe wireless settings.
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2encryption.or passphrase etc.
Apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

Usually there are 2 types of wireless connections, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Your laptop may not be able to connect to one of these connections, so it may be incompatible with your router. You can try buying a USB networking card (no more than $20). It will plug into one of your USB ports and should allow you to connect to your router. Hope this helps!

Look for more than 1 DHCP server running.

5 ghz is line of sight only so if the router is not in the same room you will not have much luck with the 5ghz band.

go to Netgear Support Home Page.

If you need more help come back.

Post / thumbs / testimonial are welcome!

My Friend ,

Seems that the router is producing the wireless signal the problem is only with the computer.


What i can suggest you is to delete all the wireless networks from the list and then try to add the network again.
