  • Brother printer wireless setup is easy with the first method and it's a pain to setup with the second manual wifi password entry. Hopefully you have a WPS compatible router to save you from having to manually type in the wifi password on the control panel to connect your brother printer to wifi.

    The Brother HL- L2350DW Laser Printer is a model that I recommend for a great value black and white (monochrome) document printer. It uses toner, which is an economical powder (not an ink) that is much less expensive than ink, as well as less messy. Yes you can print shipping, tape it on or use half sheet labels.
    Some of the Brother HL- L2350DW Specs -amzn.to/2VMd13H
    -Wireless or USB
    -Duplex (2 side Printing)

      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.

    The printer was a bit complicated to hook up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 but it does the job very efficiently. I like the ink wells versus the ink cartages that cost an arm and a leg. It prints quickly and the quality is excellent. It shuts off when not in use, so you have to remember to turn it on. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. I'll update my review in a couple of months.

    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.

    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!🎉

    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.

    Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. That was me trying to connect using the instructions that came with the printer. Thank you for your help today! Liked and subscribed!

    Thank you. I had to do it the slow and painful way; but this ancient printer works!

    Thanks for the video. I have really bad attention span for these type of things and videos are a godsend!
