Networking :: Printing With Asus RT-N56U
Apr 16, 2013
I have the printer hooked up to the USB port on the router (Asus RT-N56U), and in the router GUI, it recognizes the printer but when I set the printer up on my computers, they seem to not want to connect, or if they do it won't print anything for a few minutes after clicking "print." Is this just one printer that's going to have issues printing through the router?
I've tried both USB ports, and a couple different cables.USB flash memory works just fine and is quick, like it's plugged straight into a computer.Ironically, I bought this router to replace my file/print server.

3 times in the last 2 hours i have had my new rt-n56u give me the message.You have set the wrong dynamic or static IP address for your RT-N56U.
So i reset the router and it pulls the same IP and info it had before from my ISP.Doing some reading it seems some people have had this issue occur over and over.I am upgrading to the new Asus1.0.1.8i from 1.0.1.8f which is installed now, but wanted to ask if i have other options for this router as this problem gets annoying..Example i am used to DD-WRT for my linksys wrt- models..does the NT56U have something similar...

I have had the Asus working with a netgear CVG824G(in unison, not bridged) for some time with IP cam & usb media, but no DNS access as running through the netgear gateway. I just upgraded to Optus premium speed pack & received a netgear CG3000 & now can't find the Asus when plugged into CG3000 ethernet port. I have tried to plug it in the same as it was so I could access the asus routers page & change settings to bridge but find nothing. When I try to connect wirelessly to it, the security key is not accepted. Have tried original key and '�dmin'' all with no use. I want it to run bridged to make use of the DNS service with IP cam & attached media

I selected WPA-PERSONAL on the router settings and set a different password for each one.
2.4ghz has a password and 5.0ghz has a different pass.
When I go to my new slim 360 downstairs and try to connect wirelessly, it only shows the 2.4ghz SSID but not the 5.0ghz one. And this goes the same with the laptops downstairs and blu ray players.
I wanted my 360 on a 5.0ghz bandwidth.

i replaced a lightning damaged Linksys router in my home network with the RT-N56U. My main computer is Win7 64, (Phenom II quad, asus M490GTD) , my wife's computer(wired connection, Dell P5Duo) and my work laptop (wireless connection HP core I5) are XP. I have a USB printer attached to the wife's computer and two wireless Squeezebox receivers. This network worked with the old router. With the new router i can access internet from all computers, and connect to the new network with the Squeezeboxes. I cannot print from the main computer, even though the printer shows up in the devices window and the test page spools.

Here's the key background info:
I've got an Asus RT-N56U router. Attached to the router is a USB hard disk with a bunch of music on it. The music is accessible to devices on my LAN over uPnP/DLNA; this works great. My WAN connection is provisioned at 100 Mbps down / 40 Mbps up. I want to use some of that upstream bandwidth to stream my music to myself wherever I happen to be. I could but don't want to leave a server running on my network 24/7 to accomplish this when the router is already able to share the content locally.
So what I want is some way to make the content that the router is already able to distribute across the LAN accessible over the Internet as well. I've looked around but haven't found any prebuilt solutions to this that don't involve hosting the content on a server behind the router, which I'd like to avoid.
The router does have built-in support for serving up the content over FTP, but I've tried that and found that it really does not play well with media players. It kind of works, but the seek time when switching between tracks is absurd, and some tracks just plain fail.
One thought I've had is serving up the content over HTTP by installing an Apache instance on the router (and/or editing the configuration of the built-in instance that provides the configuration portal, if that's possible?). The router appears to run some trimmed-down version of Linux (I can telnet/ssh into it, it has a filesystem, package manager, and similar things).

We have an Asus RT-N56U router at home, which is connected directly to a cable modem. I am attempting to remotely access the router's interface, and am having trouble doing so even after configuring it properly. I configured the router's firewall to allow remote access, using port 8080. I also set up DDNS, although I tried connecting using both the IP and the DDNS name.I also set the router to respond to pings, and I am able to successfully ping the router (from a remote location) using both the DDNS name and the public IP. But when attempting to connect using my browser, it doesn't work. I have tried multiple browsers, multiple remote locations, and disabling my computer's firewall, all with no success.

I use to have a DIR-655 and dap-1522 both worked without any issues. I recently upgraded to Asus RT-n56u and now I want to setup the dap-1522 with it.I have no issues with the Asus RT-n56u everything seems to work fine here the problem seems to be with the dap-1522 where it connects but then disconnects almost instantly.
1) Connect dap-1522 with my desktop computer via Ethernet
2) Change the LAN settings for tcp/ip v4 to manual IP
3) I set the manual IP to 192.168.0.60/ subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway to 192.168.0.50
4) I open my web browser and connect to 192.168.0.50 and I see the dlink page and I log in fine.
5)I tried going through the wizard, picked manual and have tried both the 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz bands they are set up as WPA-Auto Personal and I enter in my password. It says settings will be saved
6) The page refreshes to the wireless one but I don't see any options here just the save config one. When I go to status sometimes it says its connected but sometimes it just says it's not I try to unplug from my desktop and take it over to where my apple tv is but it never works..One thing I should note is my asus is connected to 192.168.1.X so do I need to change the dap-1522 to 192.168.1.50? instead of 0.50?

I am unable to set router's (RT-N56U) IP adress to default one (192.168.1.1), or any other in subnet 1. It always popum message to me which says "IP adress 192.168.1.1 is not a valid adress". Also when I restart device it automaticaly sets its IP to 192.168.2.1. I have static IP which is translated to IP in subnet 1 so I need this working. The router is in "Wireless router mode (Default)"

Earlier this AM I got an email from one of our distributors... So I began to print it. Then I realized that it was over 100 pages long. I decided to stop the printing job at that point. The printer kept printing the job still... even though I told it to cancel like 50 times.
Only thing I could thing of from there was to reboot while the printer was still going. Upon reboot I found a weird issue. Now the printer will not work with the laptop on the network.
Its prints fine on my machine... but now the laptop can only see the printer but not use it. I go to set it as the default in that machine and it says it will DL the drivers for use on printer. When I do that it just returns an error.... can not connect to printer.
I have tried to use the manual method of using a manual port setting but it just returns an access denied. How I can get this printer working on that machine. I have tried searching online for this error.

I've got a network setup (n only) with a bunch of devices wireless and wired. I've got in my PC an Asus PCE-N53 wifi card (comp isn't close enough to modem), and using it and speedtest.net I get speeds up to 40mbps (rarely, at average around 28-33mbps). When I test on a wired PC or on my brother's surface pro, I get from 60-80mbps. I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong with the asus card. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, switching PCI slots, different system and it's still the same.

So I finally got rid of the network cable across my hallway, yes it was faster, however It was ugly and I just didn't like it being there or having to cover it etc.
My attic makes a simple drop very difficult. I would need to cut into my plaster walls and hire a drywaller who knows how to work with plater to fix them, then re-paint my walls etc.
I always thought wireless N would be too slow to stream larger H264 files mkvs etc. So I bought a new ASUS Wirelss AC router, and AC network card.
I also bought some toplink 500mbps power outlet transmitters to test in the bedroom. This PC also has a ASUS PCE-N13 300MPS wirless card (150MPS upload), that was missing antennas. I borrowed some wireless g antennas fro some old routers to to test it out. For the Tp-Link Power Line adapters I tried 3 plugs that are all on the same braker, and in fact are wired off the same run.
Both living room and bedroom are pretty close to the office, with 2 walls (but also 2 door ways that line up through a JackNJill bathroom (so no walls?) directly into the bedroom. The living room has to go through one wall and around the hallway corner.
So the ASUS AC network card picks up the router at 833Mbps in my living room.
The ASUS PCE-N13 picks up at 150/133 Mbps in the bedroom.
The Toplink 500Mbps powerline adapter is shows as 100Mbps.
When plugging in the powerline adapters the Gig router it as a 100Mbps line too (Yellow light). Shouldn't this register as a Gbps line? How can they claim 500Mbps is they are only using a 100Mbps controller?!?!
[Code]...
So it seems like wireless N is working much better for me than the powerline adapters? I really like the hard line style of the adapters, but it concerns me that they are only detected as 100Mbps devices. How can they be detected as 100Mbps but claim up to 500Mbps? Should I send these back and try different powerline adapters? Or maybe I should just get another wireless Asus wireless AC card.

I have setup an Asus RT n16 with 3 computers that support gigabit ethernet and a media server on one floor. On the other floor I have set up a fast ethernet switch (connected to my asus router) which is connected to several fast ethernet enabled computers.
Would the fast ethernet devices slow down the entire gigabit networking to 100mbps connections on my floor - similar to how a wireless n network running at 300mpbs must slow down to 54mbps when a wireless g device is connected to it?

I have an ASUS Z77 Motherboard and when I install the AI Suite II which comes on the installation disc it blocks my internet connection. When I uninstall the software my connection is fine. I am using an Ethernet connection by the way. I think it is being blocked by the component called Network iControl. As soon as that component is uninstalled my Internet connection comes back. I want to have the software, but I also want to have my connection.

I recently moved into a larger 2 story house, and for the first few months I was using a Linksys E1000 I've had for about 2 years now. It's a fine single band router, but the people upstairs and the xbox/PS3 in the living room didnt have the strongest connection.
I shopped around and finally got a ASUS RT-N66U for a really good, strong dual band router that would supposedly give better range and performance than my old E1000.
Unfortunately, since I got it everyone is having issues they never had before, namely:Signal dropping all around the house and having to search for the network much slower performance than before the xbox/PS3 cant hold a stable connection even for a few minutes now, when before you could watch Netflix HD programs easily
I've upgraded the Firmware to 3.0.0.3.178 since I heard earlier firmwares had issues, but other than that and opening my ports for qTorrent it is relatively stock settings.

I bought an ASUS Black Diamond Dual Band Wireless-N 600 Router (RT-N56U) to upgrade from my older router but I'm having a problem: It won't connect to my cable modem (via the WAN ethernet port), so I can't connect to the internet. [URL]
When I connect the router to my computer via ethernet cable, the light on the ethernet port of the router comes on (an orange LED light), but when I connect my cable modem (or computer) to the the router through the WAN ethernet port, the WAN port's LED does not come on at all and I keep getting an error message on my browser saying that I need to make sure the ethernet cable is connected.
I've tried three different ethernet cables, including the one that came with the router, with no luck (WAN LED lights never come on, so I assume that this means that there is no activity at all). I've also tried cloning the MAC address, restoring to factory default, updating the routers firmware, and holding the reset button on the modem for 15 seconds, among other things.
Also, something that might be worth noting: While one end is connected to my modem, if I plug the ethernet cord into one of the 4 ethernet ports on the router, the green LED instantly turns on but, as I said before, there's no activity when plugged into the WAN port. My modem is an Arris TM052G (DOCSIS 2.0) provided by my ISP, Time Warner Cable.

There are three RT-N56U routers in my family. I have one as does my dad and uncle. Bought all 3 about a year ago. They've been rock solid since.
However, my dad has been complaining of network issues, mainly lag and slow response. During Christmas yesterday, I took some time to troubleshoot it which ended in disaster. He was on an older firmware so I had updated it. After the update, the wireless would drop every 5-10 minutes after the router rebooted. I tried rolling back the firmware and there is still the same issue.I reboot the router, wireless comes up and within 10 minutes, the wireless is down.
Most of the clients on the network are iDevices. There are two iPod Touches, 4 iPad Mini's and iPad, two iPhones and an Apple TV, all wireless. Other than that, there is a PS3 and a bunch of wired clients. Looking in the routers logs, it appears that at least one device keeps requesting a DHCP request even though it has an address. Then at some point, the router spits out this error in the log: [code]
That error just keeps counting up, starting at 1 -- Based on google info it's related to wireless drops due to ASUS firmware issue with certain wireless cards. My guess is one of the new devices has a card that they don't support, causing this issue. I was stating to think, since he has so many iDevices on his network, an Airport Extreme?

I recently installed a very basic version of XP on my old laptop (Gateway MT3707).After hours of searching for the correct drivers, I found them, and installed them. After installing the correct drivers for wireless internet I was able to pull up the list and find my network on it.When double clicking on our wireless network it asks for a network key (also called WEP key or WPA key).Now we have a password for our network, but after an exhausting amount of tries that won't work. I not sure if that is what its looking for. In our apartment we run mac OSX, windows vista, etc., but usually the password for the network is satisfactory. I have never ran into this problem.I hate to be a noob, but I don't know where to go from here.

The scenario I am facing is, trying to have the ability to print from my laptop computer remotely to my home printer which supports IPP.What I did so far was to make sure that I enabled IPP in the printer. So the URL is 192.168.1.101:631. (I am able to connect and print to the printer on local network usinghttp://192.168.1.101:631.) I then went into my router and enabled port forwarding for that address and made sure to specify port 631. It doesn't work. I took the following steps: (It works neither with XP or 7)Windows 7 Steps:1. Start-Devices and Printer2. Add a printer3. Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer4. Clicked "The printer that I want isn't listed5. Choose "Select a shared printer by name" Below is the scheme I followedWhat is the proper way of setting this to function properly so that I can print to my computer remotely. I want to be able to print to the printer directly and not through a server or another computer. Is this even possible?

I need to be VPN'd in to work all day but during the day I need to print to my home network printer. The work around has always been to press print then disconnect from VPN, wait for the document to finish then reconnect VPN. This is starting to get on my nerves and I was hoping that there was a way to be on VPN through my physical LAN and maybe print over my wireless network. Is there a way to separate traffic in Windows 7?

My printer is hard wired to my wireless router, allowing me to print wirelessly from my laptop. After successfully printing this way, it is no longer working. I have tried re-installing the software, however, it is unable to "find" the printer. I have tried this from 2 laptops with no success. My wireless router appears to be working as far as internet.

But now there in the setup in the pic and the home group and printers don't communicate with each other anymore.

A weird issue that came up a couple weeks ago, about 15 users that print to network printer via IP. The printer is attached to a print controller with all print jobs are spooled to.
So when a user prints, lets say three pages, it spools to the windows queue and each page takes about 1.5min to get to the print controller queue, when it would only take a few seconds to spool.
Different switches, print drivers..etc have been tried and narrow it down to one thing. When working with the NAS server plugged into the switch, that's when it takes long but when unplug from the NAS, prints come out fast like normal.
how to find out if the NAS is broadcasting some crazy traffic? but it seems that it's only affecting this printer, other printers that don't have a controller print out fine and fast.

A friend has asked me to work with him set up a new office. He already has a PC and a phone line but not broadband, so he is going to organise that and getting a wireless router.He wants a wireless colour laser printer so that his visitors/guests can print easily from his office, or the next office. Does he really need a wireless printer to do this? Or if I plug a network printer directly into his router with an Ethernet cable, same with his PC, will that enable laptop users to print wirelessly (assuming they know the router passphrase of course)? I guess they would need to install the relevant printer driver to do this too.

I have walked into a company that has several small (1-4 PC's each) remote locations, and they all connect to Terminal Server to use our POS app. This app will not keep redirected printers saved between each session, so in order to save the printers, they have software VPN's set up on each client, then the local printers are installed on the server through a Local Port using the VPN ipaddressprinter share name. This allows the printers to be saved in the program and not re-assigned each session. Now, let's say that I have implemented a new desktop replacement procedure, and we are now in phase one of said procedure. I have purchased Windows 7 64-bit desktops. After setting up my deployment standards and testing in-house, I placed one of these PC's in the field. This is where I learned the issues of printing from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit client. I have not been able to successfully print to the printer installed on the server using the Local Port of the client, print job errors out. I have done some research, and found the issues with printing from 32-bit to 64-bit, and have installed all the additional drivers I can find, with no success.

I am trying to protect the computing assets on a perimeter firewalled / protected LAN from visiting laptops while still permitting the laptops wifi internet access and printing priviledges on the LAN's networked HP printer To do that I was thinking of setting up a computer as a dedicated firewall with 3 NICs (external internet, internal LAN and a DMZ for a Guest wifi router for use by the visiting laptops). (Will probably use free Untangle Firewall software software or such on the dedicated firewall computer).What I can't figure out is the firewall's topology, IP ranges and rules / forwarding that would permit such laptop operation.I would think it would be a common need for small offices but can't find much material on the subject.I do understand that such would slightly weaken the firewall but feel that I would gain more security overall.

I've tried scanning for viruses, using winsock fix (they had a static ip I also set to automatic since they should not need it). I just turned off the firewall as well, tried "selective startup" and unchecked "load startup items" and nothing has worked so far. We're working on giving them another computer but I'd like to know why this happens.
