Okay so I have two issues I would like to address here.
#1: My PC is hardwired to my network at my house, my printer is on the wifi part of the network. Can't my PC send the info to the router and then the router transfer it to the printer via wifi? I cannot hook up the printer to my room because of space restrictions. Printer is a HP photosmart 7510 series
#2: My laptop, its a hp 450$ model piece of crap. I'll post model # later if you guys need it. I don't know it off the top of my head. At my house the dam thing cannot connect to the Wifi. (Yes before you ask the password and WEP keys are right). I know the wifi works because when I try to use wifi at another location like my college it works. I had this problem before and I solved it by calling tech support and one guy out of three solved the problem. Others tell me to update the drivers, restart the computer, or manually add the network. Nothing works. The only time it got fixed was when the tech support guy said that my router assigns ID #s to all of the devices that are connected to it. And he said the router assigned the same ID # to my laptop and another device, he cleared it up on his end and it began working properly for two weeks until it happened again. So I call back and the tech support people basically call me dumb and say I must be doing something wrong.
My question, is there someway I can fix this myself, like by going into the router settings?
My ISP is Verizon Fios. 20/5 mbps internet speed.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
