Wireless setup problems

Why do I have to change my machine’s network setting to “Wired LAN” during setup although I am trying to setup Wireless LAN?

If you are using Windows^® 2000, Mac OS^® X 10.3.9 or greater or your computer is connected to the wireless network using a network cable, it is recommended you temporarily connect the machine to your access point/router, hub or router using a network cable. You will also need to change your machine’s network setting to wired LAN temporarily. Your machine’s network setting will be changed to wireless LAN automatically during the course of the setup.

•	For Windows^®: Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel Wireless configuration for Windows^® using the Brother installer application (MFC-8890DW only)
•	For Macintosh^®: Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel Wireless configuration for Macintosh^® using the Brother installer application (MFC-8890DW only)

3	Reset the print server back to its default factory settings and try again. (For the information how to reset to the factory default settings, see Restoring the network settings to factory default.)
