I recently upgraded my router and set it up with the same SSID and passphrase as the old router. Everything I own has flawlessly reconnected to the router except for this printer. The router's IP is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The router reports the printer is connected, but doesn't show an IP address. Looking at the printer, it shows IP of 169.254.117.205. However, when I connect with a wire, it connects with an IP of 192.168.1.157 and works fine. I went to that address in the browser, set up the wireless credentials, then disconnected the wire. Wireless continues to go to the bogus address. I have done everything I can think of and I'm at a loss as to how to resolve this. Any ideas? Thanks!

I found a work around... Since I already had another router attached to the new router, I connected the printer with a wire to the new router, entered the IP into a web browser and configured the printer to wirelessly connect to the attached router. I then connected my laptop to the same router as the printer, set the printer's IP to a DMZ. Reconnected my laptop to the new router, entered the IP of the attached router into my browser and the config screen for the printer came up. Added the same IP to my printer's port tab and started printing from computers connected to the new router.
