Resetting the printer network settings may resolve the issue. Here is how to do it:

1.) Unplug your modem/router and leave it powered off.

2.) Restart your printer, from the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch  (Setup). Touch "Network Setup", touch "Restore Network Settings" and touch Yes.

3.) Power off your printer

4.) Reconnect your modem/router and wait for it to re-establish its internet connection.

5.) Power on your printer.

6.) On the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch .

7.) Touch the Settings icon . Touch Wireless Setup Wizard and then follow the instructions to connect the printer to your home WiFi.

Let me know how it goes!
