Need tp set the wireless setting lost the instructions
To setup your Brother MFC-7840W on a wireless network do the following:
Press Menu.
Scroll down to #5 LAN and hit OK
In the LAN submenu, scroll down to 2. WLAN and hit OK.
In the WLAN submenu select 2. Setup Wizard.
(The printer will search for the SSID of your network. If you are presented with multiple networks, select yours and hit OK.)
Depending whether you have setup a network key on your wireless network, you will have to choose the type of connection. Your options will be Open System, Shared key, and WPA/WPA2-PSK.
If you have a Shared Key or WPA/WPA2-PSK network, then you willhave to enter the key to connect. Open Key does not use a key to connect.
So for instance, if you selected WPA2-PSK you will then be asked to enter your passphrase key to connect to your wireless network.
Hi. I followed all the steps above. The printer recognizes the SSID, which is encrypted with WPA/WPA2-PSK. Then I enter the passphrase, but the printer doen't connect to the WLAN, ending with e "connection problem" message. I'm stuck with this problem. Any sugestion will be very welcome.
Hello Chiappa,
A couple of things to check out:
1. Special character - If you want to enter special characters, check out page 150 of the User's Guide which I will repeat below:
you have to press *, #, or 0, then press < or > to move the cursor to the symbol you are looking for. Each symbol *, #, or 0 has their own unique special characters so you may have to search all of them.
2. Always verify your passphrase for upper and lowercase characters, then be sure to press the letter button the appropriate times for that upper or lowercase letter.
These are the two that I most often see, let me know how this works out for you.
