Brelynn,
To connect to WiFi, I would use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, I use channel 11. I would make a new SSID to make connecting easier.
Try this procedure and see if the printer installs.
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove any stuck print job in the queue.
Disconnect the printer.
Hit the Windows key and the x keys at the same time, programs and features, your printer, uninstall.
Restart your computer. Make sure the printer is removed. Manual Printer Driver Removal
Download the Vista 32-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 32-bit or the Vista 64-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 64-bit. Install the Vista drivers in the Vista Compatibility mode you’ll get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at this time (powered on).
Links to the drivers can be found at…

Remember virus programs and firewalls will block communications.
Also turn off the printers balloon tips.
(Right click) Start, control panel, devices and printer, your printer, printing preferences, advanced, more options. Tell it to never show.
