Wireless Networking - Wireless print server stopped working (XP)

07-07-2008, 08:34 PM

Hi-I've been using a Lynksys wireless WRT54GC with an older WPS-11
wireless print server for about 2 years with no problems. The printer
is an HP Laserjet 5. The wireless connection seems to have stopped
working. The only light lit on the WPS-11 is the ACT. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

if it working on its own.

It started working again wireless for a few documents, then I moved
the printer and print server a few feet away and it stopped. They're
about 10 feet away from the router.
