How to Connect Brother MFC L2700DW Wireless

Connecting your Brother MFC L2700DW printer to a wireless network is a straightforward process that allows you to print, scan, and copy documents from any device connected to the same network. Whether you’re a beginner or a tech-savvy user, this guide will walk you through the steps to establish a wireless connection with your Brother MFC L2700DW printer.

Before You Begin

Before you start the connection process, ensure that you have the following:

1. A Brother MFC L2700DW printer.
2. A wireless router or access point.
3. A computer or mobile device connected to the same wireless network.
4. The printer’s power cable and USB cable (if you plan to use the WPS method).

Step 1: Access the Printer’s Control Panel

Turn on your Brother MFC L2700DW printer and access the control panel. You’ll find the necessary buttons and menus to navigate through the printer’s settings.

Step 2: Navigate to the Network Settings

Press the “Menu” button on the control panel to open the main menu. Use the arrow keys to navigate to “Network” and press “OK” to select it.

Step 3: Select the Wireless Setup Method

In the “Network” menu, you’ll find different wireless setup methods. Choose the one that suits your needs:

1. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup): This method is the simplest and fastest way to connect your printer to a wireless network. If your router supports WPS, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
2. Manual Setup: If your router doesn’t support WPS, you can manually enter the network name (SSID) and password using this method. Navigate to “Manual Setup” and press “OK.”

Step 4: Enter the Network Name (SSID) and Password

For the manual setup method, you’ll need to enter the network name (SSID) and password. Use the arrow keys to navigate through the options and press “OK” to select each field. Enter your network’s SSID and password when prompted.

Step 5: Complete the Wireless Setup

Once you’ve entered the network name and password, the printer will attempt to connect to the wireless network. If the connection is successful, you’ll see a confirmation message on the printer’s display. If not, double-check the SSID and password, and try the process again.

Step 6: Test the Wireless Connection

To ensure that the wireless connection is working correctly, print a test page from your computer or mobile device. If the printer successfully prints the test page, you’ve successfully connected your Brother MFC L2700DW printer to the wireless network.

Conclusion

Connecting your Brother MFC L2700DW printer to a wireless network is a simple and convenient way to access its features from any device. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can enjoy the benefits of wireless printing, scanning, and copying with ease.
