I was under the impression that your
router was the Fedora 23 box - now
this is making a little more sense. I
notice you're using custom firmware on
those devices and it makes me wonder
whether they might play a role in some
way.
The next thing I would try would be to
wire the Fedora system and one of your
other devices to the router and see if
a router reboot affects the
connectivity between the system and
the device. This procedure simplifies
the problem set by removing the
wireless piece of the puzzle. If
rebooting the router affects
connectivity between the two wired
devices, then you might have a problem
with the router's switch. To confirm
this you can substitute a simple
switch for the router, connect both
the system and the device to it, check
connectivity, reboot the switch and
check connectivity again - rebooting
the switch should have no effect and
the systems should be able to interact
with each other consistently.
If rebooting the router doesn't affect
the connectivity of the wired system
and another wired device, then the
problem might be with the router's
wireless capability and possibly with
how the system and other devices
interact with it.

After exhausting everything else I reset
and reconfigured the Brother HL-2170W
printer, which had been running for
years wanting no attention beyond paper
and toner since new, and miraculously
things began to work again! I've
rebooted the routers, tried both of
them, and it finds the remote wifi
devices immediately. Presently back on
the Openwrt router.
As best I can recollect all this began
after Firefox went berserk and locked up
my computer when I wanted to shut down,
my effort to kill it failed when top
kept showing new pid's for Firefox and I
foolishly just pushed the reset button
and went to bed. That's the only event I
can think of and I would not expect that
to have affected the wireless printer.
So, I just dunno, but thanks for the
suggestions and encouragement,
Bob
