Brother WiFi Printer won't recognize new Router. Won't print.

[Happy Grumpy]

Brother HL-1210w Wifi Printer.

 

Had a new Wifi Router put in the house last week. 

 

New SSID Network Name.

 

Went to print, nothing happening. 

 

Connect it via the USB and it prints no problem.

 

Updated the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled it.

 

Nope.

 

Rebooting the printer's Wifi and it prints a diagnostic reports 30 seconds later saying 'Wlan Report: Connection failed'. It lists the info and sames the SSID Network name as the one from the old router.

 

The PC cannot 'Find it' when searching for the printer device.

 

The Printer is only looking for the old SSID.

 

 

How to get the Printer to connect to the new SSID, and not the old one? 

[Gulfsailor]

Use the setup function on the printer itself to connect it to the correct SSID. Also assign the printer a fixed IP address in the router otherwise it may get assigned another address after a powercut or lease expire and it also won't print anymore.

Eventually fixed:

Pain in the rain, that was.
