Printer connection problems

Having trouble connecting wirelessly to a Dell 1760 laser (circa 2016) after moving from the BT to EE router.  Worked for a while but recently lost connection and can't get it restored.  Tried a few suggestions from other posts, pairing with printer and router buttons doesn't work, wireless status on the printer reports no reception, deleting and re-installing via windows doesn't work either.  Can't ping from a command prompt.  Connected with a cable and still couldn't connect but suddenly wifi connected.  Removed cable and no connection again.

Sorry, that's what I changed them to, they were 255.255.200.0, gateway 192.104.1.254

I ran the Dell setup software to install a network printer, gets to the "Press WPS button on printer and router" but the same result as installing manually, WPS button on printer flashes forever, router WPS times out.
