Brother Hl 2270dw Wireless Setup
When performing the wireless setup for this system, the first thing to explain is that your machine need not have wireless capabilities. It simply needs to be wired to a wireless-element network. For instance, I currently have a wireless connection with this printer to my desktop computer. The desktop computer does not have a wireless network card but uses an ethernet cable to connect to my wireless router.
The next point of clarification is that for the initial wireless setup of this system you'll need a USB printer cord. Since the printer has no way for you to manually enter the wireless network settings you will need to add them from the device to the printer. Brother also doesn't include a USB printer cable, so you'll either need to buy one or better use the cable that linked your old wired printer to your device.
