    Hopefully someone can help me with this router, I have laptop an iphone, ipod, windows 8 phone, android phone and 2 tablets connected to it with no problems. I got a canon pixma mg 3550 last week and for the life of me can't get it to work wirelessly.

    I checked the logs and it says its connected using WPS but doesn't show up in connected devices. I have a netgear DGN1000 that the printer works with no problem but the wireless on it isn't the best, can someone tell me how to get it to work or how to bridge the two and use the netgear just for the printer.

    Thanks.

    You cannot print from an iphone or iPad (amongst other limitations) with Eircom broadband because of the cheap and nasty Eircom / Zyxel D1000 modem. I confirmed with Eircom technical support that there is no fix for this - it's a known issue with their modem and Airplay / Bonjour. The only solution is to purchase a different modem.

    press and hold the wps button on the modem for 3 seconds... the wifi light should start flashing orange

    next press and hold the wps button on the printer for 3 seconds.

    leave for 2 mins and it should connect
