If you still have an issue after connecting your machine to your wireless network, click here to see the important points you need to confirm before configuring your Brother machine for a wireless network.
 

CASE A: The issue occurs when you connect the Brother machine to a wireless network for the first time:

Your Brother machine can be connected to a wireless network in Infrastructure. In Infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with each other through an access point/router.
The following instructions explain how to connect your machine to a wireless network with an access point/router as the illustration below (In Infrastructure mode).

 

 

Infrastructure mode

  1. WLAN access point/router1
    *1: If your computer supports Intel® MWT (My WiFi Technology), you can use your computer as a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) supported access point.
  2. Wireless Network machine (your machine)
  3. Wireless capable computer connected to the WLAN access point/router
  4. Wired computer which is not wireless capable connected to the WLAN access point/router with a network cable
  5. Mobile Device connected to the wireless access point/router

There are two methods for configuring your Brother machine for a wireless network ;using Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™ (Recommended), or manually.

 

 

Configuring the Brother machine for a wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™. (Recommended):

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.
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.

 

WPS or AOSS™ symbol

If wireless capable computers or other wireless devices have already been configured for the wireless network without AOSS™, you must configure your machine for a wireless network manually.
> Click here to configure the Brother machine for a wireless network manually.
 
Configuring the Brother machine manually for a wireless network:

CASE B: You used to be able to print or scan over the wireless network, but can no longer perform this function.

If you were able to scan over the wireless network, but can no longer, first turn off your Brother machine and then turn it back on.
If the issue continues, please check your machine's wireless status from the control panel.
> Click here to check the wireless status on the control panel.

 

If your WLAN status is stating "Active", although you can not scan, refer to "Check the wireless status on the control panel" and check "Active".
