Troubleshooting; Wireless Lan Report - Brother DCP-J172W Quick Setup Manual

For Wireless Network Users

Troubleshooting

If you need assistance during setup and want to contact Brother Customer Service, make sure you
have your SSID (Network Name) and Network Key ready. We cannot assist you in locating this
information.
How can I find the wireless security information (SSID and Network Key*)
1) Check the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router.
2) The initial SSID could be the manufacturer's name or the model name.
3) If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system
administrator, or your Internet provider.
* The Network Key may also be described as the Password, Security Key or Encryption Key.
