Wireless Printer dropped off

I have a Belkin 54g that was hooked up to a wireless printer. Up until this past weekend it was running fine and suddenly it does not permit me to run the printer wireless anymore. When I unistalled and reinstalled the computer cannot find my SSID name of belkin54g. The router runs the internet well but I just can't seem to get it to reconnect to the printer.

What items I should be looking at to fix this.

Thank you.

Hi
You have to reset every thing, switch off the security and assign the
Printers Wireless card a Static IP (read the manual).
Enable the security when every thing works again.

In addition to Jack's comments ...

It's not clear what you uninstalled and reinstalled, but if something
(your computer? the printer?) can't find the SSID of your router, make
sure that your router is configured to broadcast its SSID. Not
broadcasting the SSID (or "hiding" the SSID) is not a good security
measure and can cause problems. Also, you should change your SSID from
"belkin54g" to something unique that you will recognize, other than your
last name or address.
