Information says to add MAC address to the Router - I don't know where to find or how to do that?  

Issue started when we moved and moved Router to a new home.   Prior it would connect.

Hi there, @hfamily1 I'm very sorry for the trouble you are experiencing, I definitely know how frustrating this is for you. To add a MAC address to your router, you need to access your router's settings page, navigate to the "Wireless" or Security, find the "MAC filtering" option, and then manually input the MAC address of the device you want to allow access to. You can find your device's MAC address in your device setting usually under "About device" or "Status" depending on your device type.-Richard

FWIW, if this is a Comcast rented gateway device, and in case you don't know, that access address is http://10.0.0.1 The username is admin and the password is password

I have the same problem, I have tried on my printer 10 times, the printer can find the SSID but cannot join, it let me make sure there is no Mac filtering in the router. I do not have mac filter, i allow all. It also doesn't work even i add the printer's MAc in the access list.

The printer do connect with other wifi (I user my iphone as a hot and it can connect)

@Garystone 

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. The original poster has not returned. 6-month-old dead thread is now being closed.


For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on someone else's older thread can delay getting help.
