cannot connect wireless printer
I recently bought a wireless printer. When going through the initial setup, it was able to connect and work automatically with my linksys wireless router. It ran the WPA process itself! Now, i have U-Verse and i've tried everything I can think of to connect and i still haven't been successful - any ideas? Here's what i've tried so far:
Tried WPA (pushed button on router while going through setup process on printer)
Followed some resources online and went to http://homeportal. Found that WPA was disabled, so i turned it on and tried again.
Opted to try the PIN from the printer. Have generated and entered a PIN multiple times, but it still will not connect.
Tried changing the router to channel 11 and going through same processes again
i still cannot get this printer to connect to the wireless network.
Any ideas? i've spent at least 3 hours on this so far and several days and it's getting frustrating. 😞 Otherwise, i am super happy with U-Verse thus far (was previously on Time Warner)

Hi David
I'm having a similar problem.
I just purchased a new wireless Epson printer and the drivers were downloaded fine when I did so wirelessly. However, the printer's network connection printout said there was a router/access point channel conflict. So, I then connected my laptop directly to the printer and all went fine and yet I still have a "router/access point channel conflict" message.
I think I need to disable whatever security is in the new Netgear 7550 ADSL2+ router which I just purchased last month. Can you let me know how? Or if this is not the problem, what else should I try?
Thank you
Terri

I need the same information
It works fine then says router/access point
channel conflict.
I believe it has to do with the directv recording
