Before you begin
First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your wireless access
point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your wireless access point/router, computers
and mobile devices on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from a computer, you
will need to install the drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and
installation process.
Important
• If you are going to connect the machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your system
administrator prior to installation. You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this
installation.
• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the network (LAN)
settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.
1. On your machine, press Menu.
2. Press a or b to display Network, and press Network.
3. Press a or b to display Network Reset, and press Network Reset.
4. Press Yes.
5. Press Yes for 2 seconds.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to
the wireless access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the
two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics,
you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest throughput
speed.
• Although the Brother MFC-8950DW(T) can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the
connection methods can be used at a time.
• If you use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Using IEEE 802.1x
authentication in the Network User's Guide.
