If you have a WLAN access point/router supporting WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or AOSS™ (AirStation One-Touch Secure System), you can easily connect your Brother machine to your wireless network as below.

To use WPS or AOSS™, your WLAN access point/router must support WPS or AOSS™. Confirm your WLAN access point/router has the WPS or AOSS™ symbol as shown below. For more details, refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.

STEP I: Configure the wireless settings:

1. Place the Brother machine within range of your WPS or AOSS™ access point/router.
    

   The range may differ depending on your environment. Refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.

    
2. On your Brother machine, press  (Settings).
3. Swipe up or down, or press the Up or Down arrow and then press Network.
4. Swipe up or down, or press the Up or Down arrow and then press WLAN.

7. When the LCD displays Start WPS or AOSS , hold down the WPS or AOSS™ button on your wireless access point/router for a few seconds.

   

    

   The length holding down the button may differ depending on the WLAN access point/router. For information on how to confirm if the WLAN access point/router is ready for use, refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.

    
8. Press OK and your machine will now automatically detect which mode (WPS or AOSS™) your wireless access point/router uses and try to connect to your wireless network.
9. A connection result message appears until OK is pressed on the LCD.

    

   • If your Brother machine is connected successfully, the LCD displays Connected. Go to STEP II.
