Connecting your Brother printer to Wi-Fi enables you to print effortlessly from your Apple devices, computers, and other mobile devices. Below, we’ve detailed several methods to establish a connection, whether you have a wireless router or not.
Using a Wireless Router or Access Point
If you have access to a wireless router or access point, you can easily connect your Brother printer using either Infrastructure mode or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
