Troubleshooting
I cannot complete the wireless network setup configuration.
Question
Is 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?
Brother machine is not found on the network during the printer driver installation.
Question
Are you using security
software?
Is your Brother machine
placed too far from the
WLAN access point/router?
Are there any obstructions
(walls or furniture, for
example) between your
machine and the WLAN
access point/router?
