Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with my DD WRT setup on a Netgear R7000. I was getting a hacker scanning cell phones through the router (and still am) so I upgraded the firmware from 2018 to 2020, changed the password and removed remote access. Unfortunately not I can't ping the printer and I really need to get it working again. Please help.

It's sending out via SSDP, but whether or not that is being blocked by DD-WRT or Windows is another story. You should be able to map it via IP address on any client on the LAN. I don't know of any printers that respond to ICMP. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Thanks Kern. Can I have a link on how I do the mapping?
Also is there any way to fix the security on this router to avoid the takeovers? Right now it is set up with two SSIDs. What can I implement without messing up the other people's access to videos etc.

The R7000 is Broadcom ARM. You do NOT do a 30-30-30 reset on this device. All that is required is either a ~10 second reset button push while booted up, reset to factory defaults via DD-WRT webUI, or via telnet/ssh 'nvram erase && reboot'. If you did any kind of reset during upgrade or flashing, you have to set a new password to login to the router; the username for telnet or ssh is always root with the password you set for the webUI. #wemustrepeat #pogothread _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
