Note: This morning's tests are using the original Linksys E3000 router and Tomato 1.28 which was in use when the problem first appeared. Just thought I needed to go back and reassure myself that the replacement Buffalo/OpenWRT router wasn't introducing new problems.
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
