Confirm your wireless network setup method

There are three methods to configure your wireless network machine. Use the Brother installer application on the CD‑ROM (recommended). Use the one‑push wireless setting mode or use the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup. The setup process will be different depending on your network environment.

Note

If you configure the wireless network settings in Ad‑hoc mode, use the Brother installer application on the CD‑ROM we have provided with the machine.

Configuration using the Brother installer application on the CD‑ROM to configure your machine for a wireless network (Recommended)

We recommend that you use the Brother installer application on the CD‑ROM we have provided with the machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your machine for a wireless network. You will be guided by the on‑screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother wireless network machine. You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this installation.

Configuration temporarily using a network cable

You need to temporarily use an Ethernet cable when you configure your Brother printer in this method. The Ethernet cable is not a standard accessory.

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point (A) of your machine, you can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the machine using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to configure the machine. You can then remotely configure the machine from a computer on the network.
