Network features
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired 1 or IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Note
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired 1 and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.
1 A wired network interface is available on the MFC-J825DW/J835DW and DCP-J925DW.

3 Configuringnetwork your machine for a wireless
Overview
To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide.
Configuration using the CD-ROM installer and a USB cable is a recommended way for Windows® users. By |
3 |
using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Macintosh users should |
choose their preferred configuration method from the choices covered in the Quick Setup Guide.
For additional wireless configuration methods please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway) uu page 4.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the WLAN 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 1, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.
• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired 1 and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your SSID and Network Key.

Configuration using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup
If your WLAN access point/router (A) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, you can also configure using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the
connection methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the wireless network and security settings. See the user’s guide for your WLAN access point/router for instructions on how to access the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode.
