What box is this?
What printer are you using?
The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.
The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.
Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.
It was the netgear control box. Got it to show tried printing and starting printing stopped now can't get to print. tried uninstalling everything and starting over.Now won't recognize my printer.
