Question

Interface Solution

Is your security settings
(SSID/Network Key)
correct?

wireless

Reconfirm and choose the correct security settings.

• The manufacturer's name or model no. of the WLAN access

point/router may be used as the default security settings.

• See the instructions supplied with your WLAN access point/router for

information on how to find the security settings.

Internet provider or network administrator.

Network Key and channels in the Network Glossary.

Are you using MAC address
filtering?

Confirm the MAC address of the Brother machine is allowed in the filter. You
can find the MAC address from Brother machine's control panel. (See
