Wireless connection problem

The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled.

The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other

wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems:

A concrete or metal framed wall is installed between the Brother machine and the access point/router.

Electric appliances such as televisions, computer appliances, microwave ovens, intercoms,

mobile/cellular phones and the battery chargers and AC power adapters are installed close to your

network.

A broadcast station or high-tension wire is located close to your network.

A nearby fluorescent light is being switched on or off.
