How I Set Up My Brother Printer Wirelessly?

Setting up a Brother printer wirelessly sounded complicated to me at first, but it turned out to be super simple. I recently bought a Brother printer for my home office, and instead of plugging it into my laptop every time, I wanted it to connect to Wi-Fi. Here’s how I did it—and you can too in just a few steps.

Step-by-Step Wireless Setup Process

Step 1: Plug in and Power On
First, I unboxed my printer, plugged it into a power outlet, and turned it on.

Step 2: Connect to Wi-Fi Using the Control Panel
On the printer’s touchscreen, I went to:
Menu > Network > WLAN > Setup Wizard
It searched for nearby Wi-Fi networks. I selected mine, entered the Wi-Fi password, and hit OK.

Step 3: Download Brother Printer Drivers
I visited setup.brother.com and downloaded the latest driver for my printer model. The site guided me through installation.

Step 4: Install and Complete Setup on My PC
Once the software was installed, it automatically detected my printer on the network. I followed the on-screen prompts, and the setup was done in minutes!

Step 5: Print a Test Page
I printed a test page wirelessly to make sure everything worked—flawless!

The entire process took about 15 minutes. What helped the most was using the official Brother setup website—it provided clear instructions and the right software. If you're someone like me who prefers wireless printing and less clutter, this setup is worth doing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Do I need a USB cable to set up a Brother printer wirelessly?
A: No, not if your printer has a touchscreen or control panel. The wireless setup can be done directly on the device.

Q2: What if my printer doesn't detect my Wi-Fi?
A: Make sure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz (some Brother printers don’t support 5GHz), and that you're within signal range. Restarting the printer and router also helps.

Q3: Can I connect the printer to multiple devices wirelessly?
A: Yes! Once connected to Wi-Fi, any device on the same network can print.
