How can I find the wireless security information (SSID and Network Key)
* The Network Key may also be described as the Password, Security Key or Encryption Key.
Wireless LAN report
If the wireless LAN report that printed shows that the connection failed, check the error code on the printed report
and refer to the following instructions.
Please do not contact Brother Customer Service for assistance without the wireless security
information. We cannot assist you in locating your network security settings.
1) You should see the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router.
2) The initial SSID could be the manufacturer’s name or the model name.
3) If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system
administrator, or internet provider.

- Make sure that the wireless access point/router is powered on.
- Move your machine to an obstruction-free area, or closer to the wireless access
point/router.
- Temporarily place your machine within about 3.3 feet (one meter) from the wireless
access point when you are configuring the wireless settings.
- If your wireless access point/router is using MAC address filtering, confirm the MAC
address of the Brother machine is allowed in the filter.
2. If you manually entered the SSID and security information (SSID/authentication
method/encryption method/Network Key), the information may be incorrect.
Reconfirm the SSID and security information and re-enter the correct information as
necessary.
