    I spent so much time trying to follow the instructions from the company. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SO EASY! Thank goodness for UA-camrs! Why can’t the company get a clue on how to provide instructions! You saved me. I was about to throw this thing out the window.

    I spent hours trying to get my Spectrum router to pair with the printer, pushing a useless WPS button. Was ready to call a tech, then I found this video. I had my printer back on AirPrint in less than half an hour, even though I had to use the ‘painful’ method. I try to keep up with most of the ‘new’ technology and thank heaven for people like you who are willing to share clear and useful information. Brother could not help at all. Spectrum could not help at all. Sad commentary on corporate support. Thanks again, you saved me an expensive tech call!🎉

    Great info. Really pisses me off that customers have to get this kind of info from youtubers rather than from Brother. I've wasted hours dealing with their useless instructions and install software. They should have people like you working for them.

      Jersey Jim, I totally agree.
      When I first got the Brother printer years ago it connected to my Apple network effortlessly. Later I upgraded my Internet to ATT Fiber and used their nice router. But after hours and dozens of attempts to connect the Brother I gave up and used USB.
      Two years later I see this video, and ten minutes later I was printing wirelessly again.

    New router and having the devil of a time trying to connect it. I started your video, but I couldn't tell from the router packaging whether I had WPS. I decided to proceed as if I did. Made all your selections on the printer; went over to me router (in a different part of the house), and looked all over for a WPS button - there it was! Marked wps/reset. (Or reset/wps.) That's all it took. Excellent instruction, clear unaccented English (no disrespect to the very capable non-native speakers, but sometimes, when trying to do these computer things, for example, one needs to understand the instructions without a struggle), very simple. A big Thank You.

Just got a new 'router' from T-Mobile and there is no way to do it the first way - the info. from Brother's web site is a bit nebulous but your explanation is solid, esp. the fact that the key they are looking for is the network password. Thanks ever so much!

  • @glennrosenberg6896
    @glennrosenberg6896 10 місяців тому

    Thank you so much for the info… my router does not have the wps button so I entered the password manually and although tedious it worked!! I do want to add that the password is case sensitive as I have 2 capital letters in mine and it would not take it without them being capital.. for those that have any capital letters you have to scroll first past the lowercase letters and then the numbers 0-9 and the capital letters will be next..also I downloaded both brother apps of ‘mobile connect’ and ‘iprint and scan’ and used both to complete setup and was immediately able to print 2 documents from my photo library. Also I never used a computer or the disk that comes with the printer, just my iPhone with apps and the printer.
    Thank you again for saving me time and a headache!!!
