1441054 2017-10-25 04:44:00 The wifi on the printer is on right? I think you have to find out why the printer doesnt show an ip address. According to the Canon site if the printer doesnt show an ip address it's not connected to a network

Did you install the IJ network tool from the Canon site ?

1441056 2017-10-25 07:03:00 I may just do that PJ, but will be in hawera working thurs and friday so if i havent thrown the beep thing in the trash by then I will come a calling :)

so this modem doesnt see the puter, the pc doesnt see the puter..... so unless cable is used I cannot change the password...... its in a no mans land spot, and yes I tried what I believe is this IJ network thing- tried many different things multiple times.and names became a blur... lol ... but will research it and give it another crack.

1441057 2017-10-25 09:17:00 The printer gets set up with WPS.

Follow carefully from here:- ugp01.c-ij.com

Of course, the Fritz will have to have WPS enabled, but it probably has. If WPS is disabled, it will have to be enabled. There is another setup for this if needed!

Good luck.

1441059 2017-10-25 17:48:00 I have a Fritzbox from 2D not using here as on 4G but I could never get the WPS on it to work so always did things manually gary67 (56)

since the printer isnt connected to the new routers wifi , it wont be getting a valid usable IP
And the software wont work unless the printer is connected via wifi or USB (catch 22)

Easiest option would be just to buy a USB cable & use that , USB cables are quite cheap
