Hi Davevia!

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the computer operating system you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x). Any error messages or other details you'd like to give will also help the Community better understand your issue.


Thanks and have a great day!

Hi,

 

I also have an MP990 printer that I have connected to the usb port of my Netgear Nighthawk router. The printer drivers cannot find the printer. I am running Windows 8.1.  Is there any way to resolve this issue?

 

I can set the printer up wirelessly, but then the printer is only visible on 1 network. The Nighthawk supports multiple networks on the same router, and I would like the printer to be visible on all networks.

 

Thank you.
