Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)
The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network
environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP
to assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.

If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
or AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your access point or wireless router.
Important
If you do not know this information (Network Name, WEP key or WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)),
you cannot continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your
access point or wireless router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.
SSID (Service Set ID or Network name)
Authentication (Open System or Shared Key)/Encryption Type (None or WEP)
WEP Key (if needed)
WPA/WPA2-PSK Encryption type (TKIP or AES) (if needed)
WPA/WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) (if needed)

The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you do
not know this information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is a 64-
bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.
For example:
64-bit ASCII:
64-bit Hexadecimal:
128-bit ASCII:
128-bit Hexadecimal:

WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi
points using TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or
more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
