Connecting your Brother printer to WiFi lets you print from any device on your network. There are three methods: the control panel setup wizard, WPS button, and the Brother installer.

  1. Press Menu on your Brother printer
  2. Use the arrow keys to navigate to Network and press OK
  3. Select WLAN then Setup Wizard
  4. The printer will search for available networks
  5. Select your WiFi network name (SSID)
  6. Enter your WiFi password using the keypad
  7. Press OK to confirm — the printer will connect

Method 2: WPS Push Button

If your router supports WPS:

  1. Press and hold the WPS button on your router for 2 seconds
  2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your Brother printer
  3. The printer will automatically connect to your WiFi

Method 3: Brother Setup Wizard (Windows/Mac)

  1. Download Brother's installation software from the support site
  2. Run the installer and select Wireless Network Connection
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions — the software will detect and configure your printer

Confirm the WiFi Connection

Print a Network Configuration Report:

  • Press Menu > Print Reports > Network Config > OK
  • Check that the SSID and IP address are correctly listed

Troubleshooting WiFi Issues

Printer not finding the network: Ensure you're connecting to a 2.4GHz network — most Brother printers don't support 5GHz.

Wrong password: Re-enter your password carefully — WiFi passwords are case-sensitive.

Weak signal: Move the printer closer to your router.
