My printer I get connected to the internet and my computer only to have it disconnect for no reason.  It is a struggle to get it to reconnect.  Why can't it just stay connected?

It may be incompatibility of your product with current 5Ghz standards. In many cases you will get more reliable performance if you configure the 2.4Ghz channel of your router with a unique SSID and only allow the printer to connect to that SSID.

I have tried on the 2.4 wireless as well.  It does not find my printer.

Ha!  I have tried that as well and printer just doesn't want to connect.  I have now connected via usb cable but I will bet tomorrow it will have gone back offline and it will be a struggle to get it online again.  I hope I will not have to keep running the set up using the usb cable to connect as they defeats the purpose of a wireless printer.  So connected for the next minute.  We shall see.
