[Hidden-tech] I changed my router and now my printer won't work

Shel,

My first guess is it’s looking for a static IP. You might have to see if your new router is using the same addresses as your old router.

Neither will the network extender but that's less of an issue. I bought a TP-Link Archer 1800 Saturday. I can't find any way to talk to the printer either from the computer or TP-Link's Tether app. I made partial progress with the very poor interface when I pressed the wrench and the wifi buttons on the printer itself, which told me to remove the Ethernet cable to enable wireless printing (it's been printing wirelessly since I got the printer. But then it printed a page of instructions for web-based printing (which would be OK, I think) with an ip address that I typed into a browser tab and the page would not load.

The printer shows up as a password protected network on my phone but not on any computers and I don't know the password anyway. The router extender also shows, btw.

It's an HP Laser Jet Pro NFP M148fdw from about five years ago. HP's site was not helpful.

Can someone help me through this?\

TIA,
