    Doesn't see wifi 10 feet from it. Defective, and the advanced button to manually enter the SSID is greyed out. I assume Brother has rushed these out since they have been out of stock for a year. DON'T buy a Brother until next year. Terrible quality, and I but nothing but Brother and have for 20 years. FYI, I am the IT director for my company.

    There is NO cord to connect to my computer. - There is NO CORD to connect to my computer. - I don't know how to connect the printer wirelessly. - More important, --I DON'T WANT TO-- connect the printer wirelessly. - - I spent time setting it up. -- I hunted around for a cord to connect the printer to the computer.

    Dumb printer The dumbest printer I've ever used. From day one it's had this error message and you turn it off and you turn it back on and it's still there. It says online to unplug everything and plug it back in. It will print put the error messages still there.
