So, when the install asked me to pick one, it complained saying that there was another AP with the same name. Each unit has the same SSID, and, that's not something I can change. I was able to get to the point in the install where it asks to connect to an access point. I first tried to install it as wireless since that's how I was using it before the network change. I've tried for the last two days to reinstall it, but, I'm having difficulty. The network install went fine and all of my devices are attached except for my MX860 printer. I recently upgraded my home network to use an eero Mesh Network. And without knowing if this is isolated to ASUS or Canon, I cannot make an informed decision should it come to that.Īny help from Canon or the user community would be most appreciated. I either need to resolve this or purchase another printer or another router. If this is an issue with something faulty in the printer or an issue with all ASUS routers and Canon printers, I would like to know. This problem has been going on for quite some time. I had general connectivity issues with the ASUS for quite some time, but resolved them some time ago with a firmware update. Is this an issue with the router or the printer? I have searched numerous times looking for a solution to this specific problem and have not seen it addressed. After a print job it will stay connected, but usually not very long after some inactivity. After a scanning job, it loses that connection almost immediately. Although they got along fine for a while, for quite some time the printer loses its connection and I must either reboot the router or the printer in order to re-establish a connection. I have an ASUS N56U router and a PIXMA MX452 printer. So my question is this: 1/ Is the PIXMA 6250 printer supported by the new El Capitan OS, and can it print using a WIFI connection? 2/ If so, how can I implement this function, as well as Air Print, on my new lap-top? I did take the chance of pressing a button that's beneath a WIFI-looking icon for 5 seconds, but then my WIFI network connection went blank, and I could no longer find my network from the WIFI drop-down menu.
I do have this contraption from the national cable network, though, for WIFI, cable TV and internet phone access (they call it the Live Box here). Now, where is this WPS button? I'm based in France, and I don't have a router to speak off.
When I bypass this and select the "Select Wireless LAN set-up", a message then tells me to "Press and hold the WPS button on the Access Point and hold for 5 seconds". In the process, I get a message "the OS version is unsupported".
So I tried to reinstall the PIXMA 6250 software from the CD-ROM. What's more, it would be nice to use the Air Print feature from my iPad. My PIXMA 6250 printer continues to work fine on a USB connection, but - unlike with my previous lap-top running the Yosemite OS - it no longer works on a WIFI connection. I just bought a new Apple lap-top (El Capitan OS, version 10.11.5).
