Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)
The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network
environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless access point/router that uses DHCP to
assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.
a If your wireless access point/router does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup
or AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your wireless access point/router in the
area below.
IMPORTANT
If you do not know this information (Network Name (SSID/ESSID), and Password), you cannot
continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your wireless
access point/router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.
Item
