Problem with IOGear GPSR01U Wireless USB Print Server

Don't have DHCP assign it an address, just pick one outside the 50 or so that your DHCP server on the AP is issuing and use that. For example, I have my router DHCP server issue IPs from 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.150, Yes I know 51, but it lets me get away with it so I don't fight . For the print server I would manually configure it to say 192.168.1.77 (note it is NOT between 100 and 150). This way you are ensured no IP conflicts (assumes AP is at 192.168.1.1). Once this is done, start browsing the netowrk for the device, you now know the IP. Point is on a 'dumb' device like this you need to manually assign the IP. Give us a shout back if this doesn't get things going.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I've tried to assign an ip address manually to the PS - unfortunately still without success. My AP has ip 10.0.0.1, and its DHCP pool is configured from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.32. Therefore I gave the PS 10.0.0.70 with gateway 10.0.0.1. From my PC (10.0.0.2) i can ping the AP, but not the PS. The device is still not found in PSAdmin, unless I change it to diagnostics mode and connect directly to it.

Are you sure you CAN ping a "dumb" device like a print server?

It's only the ICMP protocol that responds using IP as the transport, it doesn't need any other software. Response to ping (ICMP) *is* part of the IP stack feature set.

In that case, sounds like a job for the vendor support line.
