Ok - this is really frustrating now.

 

I purchased the WPS510U on the basis of it being able to simply wireless share a printer amongst the 3 computers regularly in use at my home office. All are Windows 10. And I don't own an iPad.

 

So the Easy Setup just fails 1/2 way through. It disconnects my laptop from the WiFi netwrok, then fails with an error "WlanConnect failed".

 

So, is there a solution for this now (I see the other posts are years old)?

 

I really don't want to spend a day reconfiguring just to get a printer to work - if that's what it takes, I'll just plug it into the USB and use sneaker net to print.

Hi, 

Please refer to the below instruction to configure the WPS510U.

Good day. 

Hi Mike,

The printer server's wifi is open, no password needed. It is suggested to reboot your Android phone and disable/enable wifi function to give it a go.

Once you connected to it, you can setup a static IP for the phone per instruction said. 

Besides, you can use other wireless devices to set it up as well.

May it help. Good day. 

Hi Mike,

Have you setup static IP for your smart phone after it is connected to the print server's wifi? It should be 192.168.0.x, in the same subnet as the print server.

After that, please test whether you can access the web UI of it. 

Besides, you can change different different web browser or open a new incognito window or private windows  to give it a go.

Any updates, just let me know. 

Good day.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I have done as you suggested - rebooted phone and disconnected from our home WiFi network. Tried connecting to WLAN-PS. Please see attached screen recorder video.

 

Thanks
