Router not leting me connect wifi printer on my network.

I have a Brother MFC-J885DW which has been connected to my network router (Netgear R6300 for 

over a year. About a month ago the printer got unplugged. After plugging it back in, I tryed to bring it back up into the network. If I go into the router I can see the printer as being connected. I have also tried to connect it back in by using the IP adress, still no joy. Of course there is no way to talk to any Brother Tech (last brother for me). Can any body help? Oh the netgear routher is connect to the comcast modum/router/phone.
