Problems printing from an iPad with a Brother printer.?

I have a Brother printer, model DCP-J172W. It prints beautifully from my laptop, but will only print once in a while from my iPad. It makes no sense, no rhyme or reason to it. Most of the time, the IPad says it can't find an air printer, but occasionally, perhaps one in ten times, it finds the printer and prints. Makes no difference whether I am very close or several feet away. I had an Epson printer before this and it printed easily every time from both the laptop and my iPad. I would be grateful for any help or advice. Brother's email help is useless.

    find a brother printing app, check the IP addresses are on the same local network and are not duplicated, reserve an IP address for the printer and ipad in the router dhcp page
