How to confirm wireless security information (SSID/authentication method/encryption method/Network Key) of your WLAN access point/router:
- The Default security settings may be provided on a label attached to the WLAN access point/router. Or the manufacturer's name or model number of the WLAN access point/router may be used as the default security settings.
- See the documentation provided with your WLAN access point/router for information on how to find the security settings.
- If the WLAN access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID, the SSID will not automatically be detected. You will have to manually enter the SSID name.
- The Network key may also be described as the Password, Security Key or Encryption Key.
If you do not know the SSID and wireless security settings of your WLAN access point/router or how to change the configuration, see the documentation provided with your WLAN access point/router, ask the manufacturer of your access point/router or ask your Internet provider or network administrator.
- If the error code TS-20 appears, the machine is still trying to connect to your wireless network. Please wait a few minutes, and then check the WLAN status from the control panel of the machine.
Find the Network Name (SSID, ESSID) and Network Key
You must find out the wireless network settings of your wireless router or access point. Check and write down the current wireless network settings below:
- Network Name (also known as "SSID" or "ESSID")
- Network Key (also known as "Password", "Security Key", or "Encryption Key")
How to find the Network Name (SSID) and Network Key (Password)
- Check the base or side of your wireless router or access point.
- See the documentation provided with your wireless router or access point.
- Brother cannot provide this information. If you cannot find your wireless Network Name and Network Key, contact your Internet service provider or router manufacturer.
- If your wireless router or access point uses WEP encryption with multiple WEP keys, write down and use only the first WEP key.
