Brother Printer Wireless Setup Guide

Brother iPrint&Scan simplifies wireless setup significantly over manually configuring the printer's panel menu, especially for less technical households.

Symptoms to look for

• Printer not found during app setup
• Wireless setup completes but printing fails
• Printer connects only when very close to the router

What causes it

Weak signal strength at the printer's location, connecting to a 5GHz-only network on a 2.4GHz-only printer, or router security settings blocking new device pairing are common culprits.

How to fix it

1. Install Brother iPrint&Scan on your phone or computer.
2. Start wireless setup from the printer's panel menu.
3. Select your 2.4GHz network and enter the password carefully.
4. Move the printer closer to the router temporarily if signal seems weak during setup.
5. Print a WLAN report from the panel afterward to confirm signal strength and connection status.
