Etzee, if available on your router, it may be worthwhile to select “the Disable PMF option in the Advanced Wireless Settings page in the router web interface to fix legacy wireless client and printer connection issues” (see the release notes for the RAX120 1.0.1.90 firmware).
In addition, it may be helpful to ensure that you are connecting the printer to a primary (not guest) network SSID, and that your password contains only letters and digits.

The router supports WPS.
So does the printer.
Tried that?
