    My first Brother printer- and a nightmare to get working on my network. Your tutorial is solid gold; it saved hours of frustration. Brother's own instructions were useless. Thank you!

      Done, this video is realllllly right on the spot. Lots of information (such as WPS) that are not even mentionned in the Brother's doc and many web sites.

    Agree with John Saiz. Brother ought to link this video as 'Required Viewing' with this laser printer model. I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to set up on my own out of the box with no progress whatsoever. Yours was the first YT tutorial I watched and I immediately told my boyfriend how this was a god-send video. Who else is going to tell us about turning off the 'deep sleep' function? These videos are so helpful. And thank you for using clear, concise language. Keep up the great work!

    I just set-up my Brother HL-L2405w. Everything looked like it was set-up correctly, but it wouldn't print. I thought I'd have to return it because it was defective, but I decided to try one last thing - TURN OFF ALL THE DEVICES. I turned off the router, my computer, and the Brother; and after a few minutes, reconnected everything. To my pleasant surprise, the Brother printer connected and printed my test document. I was so relieved, but still a bit peeved and frustrated that Brother has such an archaic WI-FI setup and provide their customers with a useless USER GUIDE (from their website). I do appreciate the information that you provided in your video.

    I saw your video just before choosing the Brother HL-L2350DW printer and it convinced me that it could work with my Chromebook as well.
    For two days, I had been living a real nightmare with my old HP printer, a LaserJet Pro M12W which refused to print and connect to WiFi despite 4 years of good service with my Chromebooks.
    Fortunately, the Chromebook automatically detected the Brother printer and you are fine.
    Thanks for your video which is very clear and saves me a lot of time and trouble.
    You could add Chrome OS to your tutorial.

    Wish I would have found this when I set mine up. I am pretty savvy overall and I have other Brother products that were very simple to set up. I love brother printers overall, but this one was horrible to set up so great job on this video. I already know about Brother telling you to change toner WAY before it's time so I knew how to reset that message on my other "all in one" printers, but not this one. Found your other video on that topic that led me to this video. I have bookmarked this video for future reference. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

    Great Video especially the deep sleep hidden solution. I still run into sleep issues and need to unplug and re-plug printer to get it working. I have used the printer for about a year, and have had to manually put in the SSID and key about 12 times as it seems to drop. Each time it shows the correct SSID and I have to remove it and then manually re-enter it.

    Awesome tutorial! Finally got the printer connected thanks to you! Turns out my problem was the printer wasn't on the same Wi-Fi network my laptop was using (my home has two, a main and a guest Wi-Fi, and I'm using the guest one). I also had to connect it manually by typing in the password like you said. Thank you so much
    Update: To anybody else, please DON'T do what I did. Please make sure you connect everything to the printer over *ONE* network. I accidentally kicked everybody else's computers off the printer by trying to connect to mine on a second network. Now we all have to redo it -___-

    I am so deeply grateful for this incredible video, I'm going to subscribe! But I ran into a problem I can't get around. I did buy a cable the same day, but would really like to use the wifi capability. So, I followed everything to a T, even though I'm a bit tech impaired, he was so clear, the beginning worked. I turned off Deep Sleep, I set the Toner to Continue and it does appear that it connected. Luckily our wifi password was all numbers, and even most small numbers, so that was quite quick, I pushed okay and it said Connected. The beautiful magic word. And then it went back to Wizard Setup, I believe. The light turned a steady....green? or yellow? It looks yellow to me, but okay, tinged green. I was certain I had succeeded and moved on to my MacBook Air--version 10.11.6. Yes, it's old, but it says it accepts it. (I just returned the HP Envy because that didn't! grrrrr.....) Now, actually, before I found your video, I had tried to follow the quick instructions provided and downloaded the driver package and it said it was installed. And here is where everything stalled, even when I got to this point following your video instructions. I simply could not find the printer on my Mac.And yes, my computer is using the same TP link. AND I could not ADD a new printer. First it would actually add it in the little box where it says Default, IP and Windows at the top left, but then it seemed to want Location and Use in addition to the Name and I couldn't supply those two and it would go no where. At least before I could ener the name, now I can't even do that--when I enter it in search, it does nothing. I would so appreciate some help.

    On an older video so I don't think I'll get an answer, but my question is, what setting do I need to change to allow my PC to go to sleep. I have the MFC-l2690DW connected via USB. It goes into Deep sleep and I can still wake it up no problem when I send a print job or want to scan using the PC. The problem is my PC will allow the monitor to shut off after 20 minutes like normal but the PC never goes to sleep and something brings the monitor back on about 10 minutes after it shuts off. So something is happening roughly every 30 minutes. The PC is set to go to sleep after 45 minutes of no use, monitor to shut off after 20 minutes of no use. I don't want to change the PC settings as I don't touch the computer while my videos are encoding and then it will normally go to sleep when it finishes. Since I got the printer it has never go to sleep.

I’m certain I followed the instructions implicitly, but mine will not power off!!! It doesn’t matter what duration you choose. 1 hour, 2 hours. It will NOT switch off! Any ideas?

    Nice tutorial. Didn't know about the hidden Deep Sleep settings. I have an HL-L2370DW connect via ethernet to my LAN, and I was still able to send a print job from Windows 10 to the printer while it was in Deep Sleep. The printer woke up, beeped, and the job printed successfully. Didn't have to touch the power button, so maybe the printer behaves differently on ethernet? Still working on the printer setup in CUPS on my Linux machine - I really shouldn't have to use Brother's .deb package to do this.

    Hi would this printer be able to print shipping labels for eBay ? Would I have to use sticker paper (basically shipping labels?)

    Thanks for great tutorial but just one comment about the colour image 'UNBOXING' printed in b&w - there looks to be vertical stripes in print. Any comments?

    I was wondering if you could help me with my printer I have a brother I have gone through the steps that you have posted in your video on how to get it out of sleep mode and I make sure that the sleep mode is off and it goes right back to sleep. I’m not sure what to do. Could you please get back with me?
