Can't connect printer to wireless network
« on: April 23, 2013, 09:46:04 PM »
So I just got my brother MFC7360N printer. It came without a usb adapter so I'm trying to connect it with ethernet. I connected it to the wifi router and its not showing on the network. Any idea what the problem can be?

Setup a static ip address - should go easily from there. The driver should automatically detect the ip address.

On the printers dashboard main menu there should be an option to set up static IP.

Note: You can only connect to one or the other, wireless or wired.
