administrator, or internet provider.

1. Check the following 4 points.
- Make sure that the wireless access point/router is powered on.
- Move your machine to an obstruction-free area, or closer to the wireless access
point/router.
- Temporarily place your machine within about one metre from the wireless access point
when you are configuring the wireless settings.
- If your wireless access point/router is using MAC address filtering, confirm the MAC
address of the Brother machine is allowed in the filter.
2. If you manually entered the SSID and security information (SSID/authentication
method/encryption method/Network Key), the information may be incorrect.
Reconfirm the SSID and security information and reenter the correct information as
necessary.
