Wireless setup is requesting a WPS PIN to complete the setup

For certain models, the wireless network connection can be used only when the optional Wireless Module is installed.

While attempting to set up the Brother machine on a wireless network, you may see a screen requesting a WPS PIN to complete the setup. This typically occurs if Wi-Fi Direct is enabled on your machine and you attempt to add a Wi-Fi Direct connection using Printers and Scanners in Windows. We recommend using the Wireless Setup Wizard or the Control Panel method to configure the wireless connection instead.

 

NOTE: The screens may differ depending on your operating system and your Brother machine.
