First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access
point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point/router, computers on your
network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the
drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the
network 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 DCP-J715W can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection
methods can be used at a time.
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.
On your machine, press Menu. Press a or b to choose Network and press OK.
Press a or b to choose Network Reset, and then press OK.
Press twice to choose Yes .
The following instructions are for infrastructure mode (connected to a computer through an access point/router).

b Wireless Network machine (your machine)
c Wireless capable computer connected to the access point/router
d Wired computer connected to the access point/router

To set up your machine in Ad-hoc mode (connected to a wireless capable computer without an access
point/router) you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the documentation CD-ROM.
Also you can download the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network
environment.
a If your wireless access point/router does not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or AOSS™, write
down the wireless network settings of your wireless access point/router in the area below.
Please do not contact Brother Customer Service for assistance without the wireless security
information. We cannot assist you in locating your network security settings.
Item Record the current wireless network settings

* The Password may also be described as the Network Key, Security Key or Encryption Key.
If you do not know this information (Network Name (SSID/ESSID) and Password (Network Key)),
you cannot continue the wireless setup.
How can I find this information (Network Name (SSID/ESSID) and Password (Network Key))
1) You should see the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router.
2) The initial network name 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.
