Welcome. Today we’re going to walk through the wireless setup of your Brother MFC-J480DW inkjet printer.

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.

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 WiFi button. Select “Setup Wizard” from the option list …..and press “OK”
