When i turn on the new installed printer, no more internet

I have a old desktop computer. We bought a Belkin ME1001-USB Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter for it so that we can connect to our wireless router. It has worked great for about a month. Then we just bought an HP C4480 printer and installed it to the computer. It works fine but anytime we turn the printer on, the wireless adapter loses connection. Sometimes the connection goes in and out but usually it just loses it completely. Most of the time, when we turn the printer off, the adapter just regains connection but sometimes we have to re install it. The wireless adapter and printer are hooked up through the 2 usb ports in the back of the computer. I have one more USB in front and tried using that instead but it still happens. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

X2 above
no computer stated (old can be 20 years old)
post the service tag. and win,
those added USB wifi devices are known to be problematic.
its hack really.
best is to use Ethernet (cat5/rj45) to the router, on old gear.
and USB on the printer.

why not go to any GOODWILL stores
and buy used laptop for $25 one that is less than 10 years old
and win,or a DT.
there is no need to run old old gear now
they send most that old gear to 3rd world nations now.
in bulk.
or buy a e-machine here (e = cheap stripper)
way suffer with old old DT (desktop)
see these.?

Hello! I recommend that if you have a second desktop or laptop try to install those devices on it, so you can check if your old PC is the source of the problem or it is one of the devices. I think the most probable reason for this could be a power failure on that old desktop pc, that results on bad management of USB ports

We cannot connect the pro l7680 printer wirelessly. Connect the printer to the router via ethernet cable and connect the desktop to the router wirelessly.

SOURCE: how to hook up this printer wireless to my main computer

Hi jjank740;

First off, did you try to recycle your printer? Turn it off and back on again. Sometimes power outages can disconnect that printer. If that doesn't work. Go to the printer and access the system network configuration on the led panel. Type in the WEP number and password again, and let it search for the connection. That should do it. Once it's connected you'll see the blue wireless indicator turn on.

Good Luck

Mark

What is a belkin n wireless usb adapter model # fsd8053v4 used for and can u connect to the internet with it and where do i get the driver?

The wireless adapter is used to connect wireless to the internet, You can use it to make your desktop wireless and laptop.
You can connect to the internet as long as you have a wireless router in your place that will supply the wireless signal.

The driver can be download on this website

Netgear WG111v3 USB adapter not connecting desktop to Belkin router. this notebook is working OK. The adapter has been working OK for about 3 weeks.

Try to download the newest driver from belkin that matches the version and model. Uninstall the old driver and install the new one. This should fix the issue. you will need a pc that is connected / working to the internet to get this done.

Computer not conecting to internet

If you have not installed the USB adapter driver and configured the wireless network , you need to do that to connect to the internet. Once you have cd and installed the driver , you need to enter Wireless access key or SID to set the adapter to connect .

What is a desktop card? Belkin Wireless G Router questions too.

The only thing you need is a network connection in the back of your computer if you are going wired or a wireless adaptor for each device if you want to connect that way.

I understand the Wii has wireless built into it but you might want to check on that.

D-Link wireless router and Belkin Wireless G USB Network adapter

Set your wireless network as a preferred network and to automatically connect to it. Also set it at the top of the list so that it takes precedence. If you continue to get conflicts, change the channel of the router.

Lose wireless internet when printer is on.

the only thing that connects the printer to the internet fault is the fact that the printer and your belkin are both usb connected. If you are using a laptop then it could be a usb power problem and the motherboard is disconnecting the belkin adapter for some reason, the only one i can think of is a power problem. The same can apply to a desktop pc if there is a usb problem Firsly i assume you are using the belkin software to connect the usb adapter to the router, so on your taskbar on the right there is normally the little aerial type icon for the belkin adapter and a little pc screen showing the connection also, if you right click on one of theses icons you should get a line reading 'enable windows WZC', if you do get the option enable it and try using the windows connection software instead of the belkin as it may stop the disconnecting. Also ensure that when you installed the software to your printer your firewall and antivirus was dissabled as certain elements to the driver may not have been installed. Lasly, try using different usb ports if you have spare ones, with both the printer and the adapter as sometimes the chip on the board may be instructing the usb ports incorrectly as to which is required first, as windows asks for certain things eg input/output ports to be used first,in other words the IRQ (interupt request) may be causing the problem.
