I have a Canon 5100 series printer and a standard spark router which i am finding every time I re-boot my router i have to reinstall the printer drivers.

 

Canon have advised me to get a static ip or a cable.

 

A static ip there is a charge and the cable would have to be quite long.

 

Any suggestions of something i could do with the router ?

 

 

 

thanks

beenz: I thought you was talking about changing the printer settings.
This article relates to the router settings is that correct?
Thanks

 

Yep, the router assigns an IP address to your printer, so by changing the router settings you will force it to always give the same IP to the printer.
