1. Find the wireless network settings of your wireless router/access point

You must find and write down the wireless network settings of your wireless router/access point (you will need this information later):

• Network Name (also known as "SSID" or "ESSID")
• Network Key (also known as "Password", "Security Key", or "Encryption Key")

1. Check the base or side of your wireless router or access point.
2. See the documentation provided with your wireless router or access point.

After writing down the network information of your wireless router/access point, go to step 2 to set up your machine on a wireless network.

2. Connect your Brother machine to a wireless network

1. Connect the power cord to your Brother machine and then connect it to an electrical socket.
2. Turn your Brother machine on.
    
3. Press  (Settings) or Menu > All Settings > Network > WLAN > Setup Wizard.
   ("All Settings" and "WLAN" may not apply to some models.)
    
4. When Enable WLAN? or Switch Network interface to wireless? or Network I/F switched to Wireless appears, enable the wireless network. 
    
5. The Wireless Setup Wizard starts and the machine searches for your network and displays a list of available Network Names (SSIDs).
   When a list of Network Names (SSIDs) appears, press the Up or Down arrow keys to select the SSID you wrote down earlier, and then press it.
    
6. Press OK. (This step may not apply to some models.)
    
7. Do one of the following:
   • If using an authentication and encryption method that requires the Network Key (Password)
     Enter the Network Key, and then press OK.
     To apply the settings, select Yes. (This step may not apply to some models.)
      
   • If your authentication method is Open System and your encryption mode is None
     Go to the next step.
8. The machine tries to connect to the wireless network you have selected.
   • If your Brother machine connects successfully
     The machine's LCD displays Connected. Go to section 3 - Download and install your Brother machine's software.
      
   • If you cannot connect

     The machine will print a wireless connection report. Check the error code on the printed report.
