Welcome. Today we’re going to learn how to install your Brother HL-L2460DW on a wireless computer.

This video will cover multiple models and operating systems even though your machine may not match the model on the screen the overall process will be the same. (Covers HL-L2460DW XL and Brother HLL2420DW wi-fi setup too)

You will need to gather some information about your wireless network in order to connect your machine. You will need to know the SSID or Network Name of your router or access point and you will need to know your Network Key or password.

The default settings for your router or access point can be found on the equipment label. If your SSID or Network Key contain both uppercase and lowercase letters be sure to record them as both of these credentials are case sensitive. You will also need administrator rights.

If you have setup up a custom SSID and Network Password and cannot recall this information, please contact your router manufacturer. Setup cannot be accomplished without this information.

Begin by pressing the Wi-Fi button

Press the up or down arrow repeatedly until the “Find Network” option appears on the LCD window.

Then press “OK”

If the WLAN enable message appears, (press the up arrow to) select the ON option

Your Brother machine will now search for available wireless networks

Please note that if your network is set to hide the network name you will have to manually add your network name.
