If you have a WLAN access point/router supporting WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or AOSS™ (AirStation One-Touch Secure System), you can easily connect your Brother machine to your wireless network as below.

To use WPS or AOSS™, your WLAN access point/router must support WPS or AOSS™. Confirm your WLAN access point/router has the WPS or AOSS™ symbol as shown below. For more details, refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.

1. Place the Brother machine within range of your WPS or AOSS™ access point/router.
   
   

   Note

   The range may differ depending on your environment. Refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.
2. Hold down the WPS or AOSS™ button on your WLAN access point/router for a few seconds.
   
   
   
   

   Note

   The length holding down the button may differ depending on the WLAN access point/router. For the information on how to confirm if the WLAN access point/router is ready for use, refer to the instructions provided with your access point/router.

7. When WLAN Enable? or Network I/F switched to Wireless is displayed, press the OK key to accept. This will start the wireless setup wizard.
8. The machine will automatically detect which mode (WPS or AOSS™) your access point/router uses to configure your machine.
9. A connection result message appears on the LCD and a WLAN report will automatically be printed.
   
   If the connection failed, check the error code on the printed WLAN report, and click here for more details on the error code.
