I’ve a fiber optic reference to a Huawei OptiXstar Wi-Fi 6 router, lately put in as an improve over the earlier one (a FritzBox 7490).
My printer is a Canon i-Sensys LBP223DW which, till earlier than this modification, was at all times being recognised with none subject by all my (and my companion’s) units.
The road is configured with a 2.4 and a 5 GHz networks. All units (an iPhone 6S+ & an iPhone XS; an iPad Professional 9.7 (2015), an iPad Air 2020, and an iPad Professional 2018; a Mac mini 2018 and a MacBook Professional M3 Max) join flawlessly to each networks.
IoT units (we have now only a few, a dehumidifier, a vacuum cleaner, and the printer) require 2.4 GHz networks—no thought if this is because of their age or different decisions.
My workflow was to go to print a doc, faucet on Choose Printer, and it will be there within the record ready for me. At this time, I observed this was not the case. I reset the printer and reconfigured it from scratch, including it to the native 2.4 GHz community. The printer’s display screen stated connection was “Good”, and the title of the community was right. But, the MBP M3 Max with macOS 15.1 would see it (because it was configured earlier than in Sonoma) with a yellow gentle. It will not print. I eliminated it and tried so as to add it once more. macOS wouldn’t see it as earlier than.
From the printer display screen, I browsed to search out its IP tackle, then, on macOS, added the printer by means of the IP tab, which labored. My iPhone XS (iOS 18.1) and iPad Professional (iPadOS 18.1) wouldn’t see it. I restarted the printer, then these units would see the printer.
My companion’s units (iPhone on iOS 16.7, iPad Professional on iPadOS 16.7.10, iPad Air on iPadOS 17.6), although, wouldn’t discover the printer until they’d change their wifi connection to the two.4 GHz as effectively, one thing that neither the Mac nor my different units needed to do.
I attempted to restart the units, to overlook the networks and reconnect, nothing. If they’re on the 5 GHz they’d not discover the printer.
Actually, this seems like a silly subject, however I don’t know tips on how to work round it? Is it my new router doing one thing towards particular units which have an older web protocol? Please discover that their connectivity is ideal although. Is it the printer?
What would you recommend me to do?
Thanks!
