E515dw won't stay connected to wireless network
I've had this printer for over a year with no problems until recently. I had a router issue and switched to a new router (Netgear->Linksys) and I can no longer get the printer to stay connected to the network. It will connect and stay on for a few minutes and then it shows not connected. I've tried to connect by keying in the wifi password and through WPS and have had the same result.

I've had this same problem with this printer ever since I bought it. It will NEVER wake up when a print job is sent. I have had to reconnect to the network literally hundreds of times using the one-push WPS option on my cable modem/router and I've also used the PIN method from the printer. It will eventually connect and then I can print. When it does to sleep it loses the connection and printing no longer works. Even worse, every time I have to reconnect this stupid printer prints out a report with the connection status. I cannot turn this off. I have used and wasted more paper on these dumb reports than I have actually printing what I want.

wpjmurry,
Just a thought...
On your wireless router, are you using the auto channel? If so, try changing the router to channels 1, 6 or 11. I prefer channel 11.
