Troubleshooting

Please do not contact Brother Customer Service for assistance without the wireless security
information. We cannot assist you in locating your network security settings.
How can I find the wireless settings (Network Name (SSID) and Network Key)
1) You should see the documentation provided with your WLAN access point/router.
2) The initial network name 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 internet provider.
* The Network Key may also be described as the Password, Security Key or Encryption Key.
* If the WLAN access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID, the SSID will not automatically be detected.
You will have to manually enter the SSID name. See Configuring your machine when the SSID is not
broadcast in the Network User's Guide.
