trying to setup Wireless LAN?

 X 10.2.4 or greater or your computer is connected to the wireless 

network using a network cable, it is recommended you temporarily connect the machine to your access point, 
hub or router using a network cable. You will also need to change your machine’s network setting to wired

Wireless connection problem

10

The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled.

10

The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other 
wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems:

„

A concrete or metal framed wall is located between the Brother machine and the access point.

„

Electric appliances such as televisions, computer appliances, microwave ovens, intercoms, 
mobile/cellular phones and the battery chargers and AC power adapters are installed close to your 
network.

„

A broadcast station or high-tension wire is located close to your network.

„

A nearby fluorescent light is being switched on or off.
