Since you have replaced the wireless router, you will need to get every wifi connection to "join" the new wireless network wifi network.  You need to follow the directions to get the device to re-connect / re-join the new wifi network.

It could be that your new router is using a different IP scheme and you would need to adjust it on the printer.

Hope this helps.
