Brother hl 2280dw wireless setup windows 10

I finally ended up resetting the modem to its original settings. I also reset the printer network settings each time I tried something different with the printer with the menu-7-1-1(?) reset command. I connected to the router with an ethernet cable and changed WEP to WPA and then turned encryptiont off completely (temporarily), neither of which helped. I have an actiontec router, like many other people who've had this problem. The printer would recognize my SSID, but then fail to connect. I just bought a Brother MFC-9320CW and had the same issue. I'm not sure if you ever solved your connection problem. But at least you have all the info you need to have that conversation if you still need it. All told, once the two techs talked and actiontec walked me through the new set up it took about 10 minutes. I had to reconnect my laptop to the new wireless network, but that's not a big deal.

And do avoid losing password I used the wep key from the router as my new wpa password. You'll notice your router has the SSID - so basically I renamed that to my own name. But basically I had to disable my wireless network and create a new one with new name. there were a few steps involved here, I can't recall them all. You need to change your security from wep to wpa. Username is admin and password is either password or password1 The actiontec person had me log on to the IP address 192.168.1.1 to access the router. One issue is that the brother folks tell you to enter your wep key in caps when in fact you need to enter them in lower case. After a couple hours of dealing with it I finally had the brother guy on the phone and three way called into actiontec like he recommended. I too had many of the same issues trying to connect to wireless network. I just purchased brother multi function wireless printer even though I had concerns from all I read. I've tried everything - can't get it to connect - ands it's nobody's problem. I've tried static connection as well as letting router set the printer's IP. I just took an HP wireless printer off the network - it worked just fine. I've rebooted the router, updated the router and printer firmware, and, in case of printer, the software. My router has never had any problems connecting to any wireless device - until now. So the printer CAN connect wirelessly - just not to my Actiontec Router. They got it connected to their wireless system quickly. What it is is a problem between my Actiontec Router and my Brother printer- that no one wants to own up to.ДЄfter failing to connect the printer wirelessly, I took it to a local Brother service center. Brother tech rep says it's a router problem. Have you solved your Brother printer problem yet? I have the identical problem with my new Brother MFC-6490CW.
