Configure your wireless computer and Brother machine with the same SSID as used for your WLAN access point/router. In many cases, devices using different SSID cannot communicate with each other, and cannot send or receive data through the same wireless network. However, if you want to connect all wireless devices to a specific wireless network, these devices have to use the same SSID. Each SSID can use different authentication and encryption methods so that you can connect wireless devices to the wireless network at different security levels at the same time. This function allows you to configure multiple SSIDs with one WLAN access point/router.
If the following functions are enabled, change the setting. See the instructions supplied with your WLAN access point/router and confirm your function settings. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is one of the network authentication methods which use a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.įunction settings of your WLAN access pointĭepending on the WLAN access point being used, some functions of WLAN access point/router may cause interference to wireless communication between your computer and the Brother machine. If you still cannot find the security information, consult the manufacturer of your WLAN access point/router, your system administrator or internet provider. The initial Network Name could be the manufacturer's name or the model name. See the documentation provided with your WLAN access point/router.
