Deco M5 and issues with HP printer connection

2020-11-17 22:10:02 - last edited 2021-03-11 11:51:03

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I have just set up my Deco M5 mesh system for home. Its working fine. Except that I am failing to connect my hp printer which were previously easily connected over wifi. The printer can detect the network but I am getting an error message that it is unable to connect with wireless router. Its suggesting MAC address filtering may be enable on the wireless router.

Any solutions?

Its a shame but I do need my printer and if this does not work, I will have to return the Deco system and look for an easier alternative.

@DrK02

You need to turn off fast roaming, many HP Wi-fi Printers do not support it, also I suggest after successful connection please disable mesh also for this printer, becuase my HP Printer had frequent disconnections issues with mesh enabled. WIth both options turned off , it works perfectly.

@jthcomputers

1. Verify that you have the last firmware update of M5.

2. In printer:

A. reset the network connections exists in the printer

B. Try to establish a new WiFi connection, using the WPS system - let it run while finishing step 3.

3. In Deco app:

A. Go the "More" screen

B. Find WPS bottom and press it - it will allow you up to 120 seconds for finding your printer

4. I hope the connection is now successful .
