>From a fellow Marylander: I recently went through this with a Brother HL-2270DW and MY "new" Verizon FiOS router [Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I] as well. What worked for me was:
1) Download the Networking Manual from Brother for detailed instructions; 2) Do a complete reset of the printer to factory settings per said instructions: a Turn off the machine. b Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. c Hold down Go as you turn on the power switch. Keep Go pressed down until all the LEDs light up, and then the Ready LED turns off. d Release Go. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off. e Press Go six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its factory default settings. The machine will restart. Then either 3a) use the Web Based Management (browser) method to configure the printer OR 3b) Download the BRAdmin Light for Mac and use it via a USB 2 connection to configure the printer. As I recall, I used method 3b above to finally get things working (I was also connecting to a couple of Win7Pro PCs as well, and this got everything going). Hope this helps, Ramon On Oct 4, 2016, at 12:43 PM, Bill Spencer wrote: > Hi there: I got a new wireless router from Verizon the other day, and now the > printer (Brother) and the new wireless network don't see each other.
