After the electrical incident, I attempted to re-establish the wireless connection.  The wireless name xxxxx does not appear on the list of devices although wireless names of other routers in the neighborhood are plainly there.  I have attempted to re-enter the wireless name that was routinely used prior to the outage, but that name is not accepted.  Powering the printer "off" and "ON" does not help.  I have not reloaded the software for the printer, but that may be the next step.

 

The puzzling point is that seemingly all of the nearby routers in the area show-up on the printer, but NO wireless name for our  router.
