I am trying to connect my Windows 10 laptop to my Canon MG3100 printer using a wireless connection. I've installed the software, but my router does not have a WPS button, so I am trying to use the USB cable to connect to the printer. I've followed the instructions and have pressed the key on the printer and hooked up the cable when prompted, but I get an error message that reads: "MP Drivers: An error occurred while communicating with the printer."

I'm using the TP-link Router with model TL-WR841N. I'm facing this weird issue I have a Wi-Fi network setup at my home, I'm connecting around 3 mobile devices and 2 laptops to this network. So whenever I'm connecting my windows 10 laptop to this network it works for a small period and the Wi-Fi will get disconnects for all the devices, To fix this issue I have to restart the router. It will happen again and again when ever I'm connecting my laptop to this WiFi network. Tried checking with the ISP but no luck its happening only with my win 10 laptop.

I thought my laptop is the buggy one but my win 10 laptop is working without any issue on my mobile hotspot(With mobile data of course) as well as with my office network. Also My IT team told to change my router. But I want to make sure that my TP link router is causing the issue, Since my win 10 laptop is working flawless in other networks. The funny thing is if I connect my laptop with the wired lan cable in the same network I'm not facing any issue even now I'm connected like that only. I'm using my laptop like a desktop have to keep it in my table all the time which is quite annoying. Can I get a solution for this your help is much appreciated.

When the Windows 10 laptop connects to the network of the WR841N, how about the LED status of the router? You can also login to the router web interface to confirm if there is still a WAN IP address and gateway, try to do a simple ping test under System Tools > Diagnostic by ping 8.8.8.8 and www.google.com.

The Router LEDs status all are green. when ever this issue is happening the router web UI won't load untill the router is rebooted. There are no additionla softwares that is installed on my laptop. My IT team had reinstalled my win 10 OS recently on my laptop.

@GophalRaj Just for clarification, you cant access the router webUI from any other device on the network, once you connect that laptop to the WiFi?

That router is pretty old. On my C50 v4, i had a security vulnerability, which caused DOS when used - the httpd service crashes and you need to reboot the device.

But that was happening when i expliciltly tried to test the vulnerability with the nmap script. While yours... sounds a bit different.

@GophalRaj Well, for starters, check to see if your HW version is indeed V1. Then check the TP Link website for your country, and see if there are any FW updates.

If there are any applicable (newer than your current), try updating the FW.

Does the WebUI comes back up, once you disconnect the laptop?

Trying to use my Iphone hotspot out and about and it will not show on my wifi settings on my laptop. Have tried running network adapters troubleshooter and switching airplane mode on and off again on both devices. I can connect to other iphone hotspots on the laptop and my hotspot shows for other laptops. Any advice?

Yes, it's turned on. Yes, the settings are all correct. Yes, I reset the phone's network. Nothing makes it show up on the Windows machine. It *does* show up on my ipad, so it's broadcasting the hotspot's name. But Windows 11 does not seem to see it. Tried everything on both iphone and laptop. Nothing. The only way to connect via my phone's connection is with a usb connection. Anyone have any ideas?

I connected using bluetooth. I turned it on on both devices and connected the laptop to the iphone. Then I went to 'bluetooth and devices' on my laptop and the devices were displayed on the screen. On the picture where the iPhone was shown, I clicked on the three dots and selected 'connect to a personal short-range network'. On the bottom right of the screen, where the Wi-Fi icon would normally be, a different image is now displayed, but the internet is working for me.

In my case, I found that Windows 11 wants you to go an extra step. Maybe 3 or 4 steps, if a click is a step. You now have to go into Settings > Bluetooth & devices, and lo, your enabled iPhone hotspot should be there, THEN you have to open up the properties ellipses for the device, where you will see a "Join Personal Area Network (PAN)" link that pops out.

Click that link, THEN another link is presented in a "Bluetooth Personal Area Network" window. (sigh) And in That Thing, there is a dropdown selection list with a single item. This is labelled "Access Point" click that and then of course, click the "Connect" button that appears under there and now, now my friend, after a great sampler of possible widgets - you are in business.

On the device that you want to connect, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. Then tap the Wi-Fi network to join. If asked, enter the password for your Personal Hotspot."

I was having this issue, checking my Windows 11 tablet prior to travelling. I found that for the iPhone to appear on the list of available networks, it needs to be on a 4G network, not the normal (home) Wifi. Once you open the Settings / Personal Hotspot screen, you will see that the phone switches from WiFi to 4G (or presumably 5G). Once this happens, the iPhone network connection appears more reliably on the list of Available Networks on the Windows 11 device.

Brand new IPhone 15 Pro here and I have the same issue, and everything online is useless to fix it. My hotspot is invisible to share it with others (but it works with my MacBook), for example I recently tried unsuccessfully to connect a Samsung TV, sooo annoying!!! And the this is the top tier smartphone in the market. I had to remove the SIM card and put it in my old Galaxy S10 that now I keep in my bag for all my trips to be able to get an internet hotspot that is reliable.

I have the exact same issue. It won't show up on the list of available networks of my laptop. It has windows 10 too. It shows and works fine in other devices (laptops, cellphones, tablets). I don't know what to do about it

The Nokia Tower offers a wide selection of Wifi Channels which is fantastic. These channels are used world wide meaning not all channels are used in all countries. Its a global device. The Channels offered to us in the USA includes some channels with restrictions and not commonly used in typical routers. In this respect the Nokia router is superior, as you can truly set a channel in a crowded wifi area that no one else uses.

More or less, it is something with your computer and not the Nokia Tower. Try refreshing your network on the computer because no matter what, its should be seeing the 2.5 network at the least, no matter what settings on the router.

How do I change set it to "auto"? I have the nokia gray tower. I changed the name it with and it works on all other devices but on my laptop's list of network does not show. I don't know what you mean by select your own channel.

PROBLEM SOLVED. I was having the same issue with an older Asus laptop. When I had the 4G LTE router/modem from T-Mobile the network would show up on my laptop but once I got the 5G one the network wouldn't show up on my laptop but it would show up on all other devices. The work around I found was purchasing the TP-Link RE300 range extender. You connect the range extender to the 5G router/modem then connect the problem device to the range extender. In my case it was my laptop which is now connected to the range extender and working fine. This range extender is 2.4ghz and 5g compatible. Not sure if other range extenders would work as this is the only one I own and have tried. Also, I just ran a speed test and there's no noticeable difference in speed due to being connected to the range extender instead of the T-Mobile router/modem directly.

After installing the T-Mobile Gateway Gray Kit I was unable to see the SSID name in the list of available networks on my 2017 HP Laptop running Windows 10, but everything else in the house connected, since I renamed Gateway to the previous router SSID name. I searched the type of wireless adapter I have in laptop, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265, and visited Intel site to update Wireless adapter Driver to the latest for my device, 19.51.33.1. After the update I am able to see the Gateway SSID and laptop connects.

Hello all. I am new to the TMobile Gateway. I just got the grey Gateway tower and I am having the same issues with my older laptop not connecting or even seeing my SSID. Everyone else in my house can connect and be on it just fine but when I got to connect my laptop it won't come up. It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro L850 series running Windows 8. I have done everything I can think of to find my connection. I went in and made sure my Wifi adapter was up to date, rolled back the drivers and even went in to command prompt and did the config. Still nothing. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get it to connect??
