my computer prints fine from 3 computers in the house. it is functioning wirelessly. However the printer itself cannot connect to my wireless network. The first icon in the window of the device has a yellow error triangle. also the ipv4 listed on the printer is 192.168.223.100 whereas the computer closest to it is listed ipv4 192.168,1,165

Edits - Add content for "Internet" connection
Internet connection is the printer's connection to the network outside of your home network.
Try: Switch off Web Services - Wait several minutes and switch on Web Services

Though certainly related, the printer's ability to connect to the Internet is not the same thing as the printer being connected to your home / local network (192.168.1.xxx).
Check your DNS settings, normally your Internet connection will still go through the router on your home network and use the router's ISP (Internet Service Provider) setup. For example, you might get your Internet Service from Xfinity.
There are a couple of ways to prioritize the connection:
Set the DNS to the actual ISP or set the DNS to your router (for example 192.168.1.1) and let the router manage the connection to the "rest of the world".
If the DNS is totally failing (unlikely else you would have issues connecting to the Internet on your computers), consider using free DNS (google). This is not usually necessary, but can be tried when everything proves stubborn.

Thank you all who replied to my query. I went around and around this for quite a while. used some of the suggestions given plus others from the website. Finally settled on going back to usb connection to the laptop closest to the printer. Everything works.
