HP Printer not working since Xfi install
Hi,
Just switched from Uverse to Xfi gig . Seems a good service , well apart from getting 950 mbps with ethernet , but onlu 90 mbps wifi from 12 inches away , testing with 5 different devices ...
Anyway, since the install last week, my HP printer is not working. I have tried with 4 laptops and the same issue. None of them are seeing it. I have tried powering it down, clearing netwrok and redoing the setup wizard. It is on the same netwrok name and connecting OK.
I have tied using the HP APP on PC - it says offline and cannot fix
I downloaded the HP print doctor app and that did not work.
I tried using my brand new laptop to 'connect new printer' and it is not discovering it on the network.
I have disabled advanced security (did this anyway for my Plex server remote access)
Any ideas ?
thx

After telling the agenct on Xfinity chat my PRINTER issue - they proceeded to reset router and then tell me my INTERNET should now be working. Seriously ??!! lol
I just got this messge: As per checking it here that since your modem is GREEN and you are able to access Internet in your devices, I would recommend for you to contact our Advance Wireless Team @1-800-934-6489 to help you set this up and address this concerns right away.

Had same issue - older HP printer did not like mesh of XB7. It did work for a while when it conected to a pod 2 rooms away at 2.4G. Can you put a pod close to it, and connect via ethernet. Bet that would work and how I have had to connect some devices that do not like mesh or have no wifi.
I bought a new HP laserjet..... fixed the issue

I have it working for my wife with direct setup via USB. However, that does not solve for the other 6 laptops via wifi.
Is this something I should even waste my breath talking to Xfinity about ? It is tedious wasting time talking to people who have no clue.
thx

Does it have a ethernet port? If so you could conect to a pod, or the cablemodem. otherwise, wasting time IMO. No, prob not an Xfinity issue.

LOL, CC! After three hours of fighting with this printer and configs, I saw your solution. I can't believe that never entered my mind. Now I have my 2.4 and 5 split just so my printer can avoid conflict. Thank you!!!

I'm so grateful for this question as I was having the same problem with my pretty much brand new HP Envy no longer connecting once we got the xfi router. Following the directions on how to split our network into 2.4 and 5 I finally got the printer working again.
