Agree with John Saiz. Brother ought to link this video as 'Required Viewing' with this laser printer model. I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to set up on my own out of the box with no progress whatsoever. Yours was the first YT tutorial I watched and I immediately told my boyfriend how this was a god-send video. Who else is going to tell us about turning off the 'deep sleep' function? These videos are so helpful. And thank you for using clear, concise language. Keep up the great work!

For two days, I had been living a real nightmare with my old HP printer, a LaserJet Pro M12W which refused to print and connect to WiFi despite 4 years of good service with my Chromebooks. Fortunately, the Chromebook automatically detected the Brother printer and you are fine. Thanks for your video which is very clear and saves me a lot of time and trouble. You could add Chrome OS to your tutorial.

I just set-up my Brother HL-L2405w. Everything looked like it was set-up correctly, but it wouldn't print. I thought I'd have to return it because it was defective, but I decided to try one last thing - TURN OFF ALL THE DEVICES. I turned off the router, my computer, and the Brother; and after a few minutes, reconnected everything. To my pleasant surprise, the Brother printer connected and printed my test document. I was so relieved, but still a bit peeved and frustrated that Brother has such an archaic WI-FI setup and provide their customers with a useless USER GUIDE (from their website). I do appreciate the information that you provided in your video.

I am so deeply grateful for this incredible video, I'm going to subscribe! But I ran into a problem I can't get around. I did buy a cable the same day, but would really like to use the wifi capability. So, I followed everything to a T, even though I'm a bit tech impaired, he was so clear, the beginning worked. I turned off Deep Sleep, I set the Toner to Continue and it does appear that it connected. Luckily our wifi password was all numbers, and even most small numbers, so that was quite quick, I pushed okay and it said Connected. The beautiful magic word. And then it went back to Wizard Setup, I believe. The light turned a steady....green? or yellow? It looks yellow to me, but okay, tinged green. I was certain I had succeeded and moved on to my MacBook Air--version 10.11.6. Yes, it's old, but it says it accepts it. (I just returned the HP Envy because that didn't! grrrrr.....) Now, actually, before I found your video, I had tried to follow the quick instructions provided and downloaded the driver package and it said it was installed. And here is where everything stalled, even when I got to this point following your video instructions. I simply could not find the printer on my Mac.And yes, my computer is using the same TP link. AND I could not ADD a new printer. First it would actually add it in the little box where it says Default, IP and Windows at the top left, but then it seemed to want Location and Use in addition to the Name and I couldn't supply those two and it would go no where. At least before I could ener the name, now I can't even do that--when I enter it in search, it does nothing. I would so appreciate some help.

On an older video so I don't think I'll get an answer, but my question is, what setting do I need to change to allow my PC to go to sleep. I have the MFC-l2690DW connected via USB. It goes into Deep sleep and I can still wake it up no problem when I send a print job or want to scan using the PC. The problem is my PC will allow the monitor to shut off after 20 minutes like normal but the PC never goes to sleep and something brings the monitor back on about 10 minutes after it shuts off. So something is happening roughly every 30 minutes. The PC is set to go to sleep after 45 minutes of no use, monitor to shut off after 20 minutes of no use. I don't want to change the PC settings as I don't touch the computer while my videos are encoding and then it will normally go to sleep when it finishes. Since I got the printer it has never go to sleep.

The printer woke up, beeped, and the job printed successfully. Didn't have to touch the power button, so maybe the printer behaves differently on ethernet? Still working on the printer setup in CUPS on my Linux machine - I really shouldn't have to use Brother's .deb package to do this.

Man! I looked at this video because I was planning on buying a 2350 or 2370. However, after watching I'm on the verge of changing my mind. What appear to be stupid defaults, and what appears to be user unfriendly complexity on the menu make it a real turn off. "Deep Sleep", a toner cartridge that doesn't simply let you use 95% of the toner and then give you a heads up, is not very potential buyer friendly. Did Brother make a point of not making operation/their menu intuitive? Think I'll start browsing Samsung, HP, Canon and Lexmark. Great video however. P.S.: is the default duplex rather than printing on one side only? If so, that also makes no sense to me. Whatever.
