Troubleshooting
I cannot complete the wireless network setup configuration.
Question
My machine does not
connect during wireless
setup?
Are your security settings
(SSID/Network Key)
correct?
Are you using MAC address
filtering?
Is your WLAN access
point/router in a stealth
mode? (not broadcasting
the SSID)
I have checked and tried all
of the above, but still cannot
complete the wireless
configuration. Is there
anything else I can do?
The Brother machine is not found on the network during the printer driver installation.
Question
Is your machine connected
to the network and does it
have a valid IP address?
Are you using security
software?
