My printer won't show my wireless router so I can't print anything. It says my printer is offline. I don't know how to fix it. It was working a day or two ago. The Router is a Netgear AC1900 Smart Wifi Router, Model : R7000. My printer is an HP OfficeJet Pro 8710. They are both connected to a Netgear  Cable Modem CM1000.

My cat had climbed onto the table where my Netgear  modem is and had accidentally hit the wifi button, turning it off and making it offline. However, I now have anoother problem. Somehow, during all my attempts to "fix" the problem, I set my printer to scan only and I can't get it back to being the default printer. I ran the Scan Doctor tool and when the option to make this printer the default one comes up, I click yes and it does NOTHING. Can you PLEASE help me fix this problem???

I have tried EVERYTHING! I went to the HP website to try and download the missing driver but all it keeps doing is installing the fax as the default printer and then the Microsoft print to PDF as the default printer. At this point, I'm just gonna wait on the geeks...
