How do you SETUP this unit to make printer wifi? there was no instruction or manual. Also does this require a power adaptor? It did not come with one

You connect the dongle to your computer and insert the disc that came with it. It will guide you through the process of setting up your WiFi connection. Once completed you plug the ethernet plug into your printer where the hard line would normally go. You can use the USB for power or find a different DC power source. Pay close attention to the voltage and amperage or you could fry it.

Well you need to install the disc on to a computer. There you will connect the Wifi Bridge to your network. Once done you plug up the Ethernet to your device. You do not need the power adapter the USB plug can power the Wifi Bridge. Both have to be plugged up to work.

this one was for my security system. I dont think this one will work on the printer because this one connects to USB for power and to the ethernet connector. I dont know if you can make your printer wireless but keep searching for answers, someone has done it and it should be posted. My Dongle came with a disk for setup.

I am not sure if this unit can be set up using a printer, mine came with a set up disk. As for its power, it draws its power from the USB port.

This printer requires optional External Wireless Adaptor. I bought it for $50. I just saw where it now costs $69. The adaptor is in addition to the printer. Great wireless printer if you buy the adaptor.

The USB wifi adapter should have come with the driver software.If not, you will have to find it via google searching.

Wireless driver is already installed. You need to sync it with your wireless router using Ethernet cable. You can do other ways as described in instructions, but it took me long time and was unsuccessful after all. With Ethernet cable was quick and easy. I have the printer for almost a year already and it works good.I tried to do wireless and manual, but took me long time and did not work after. To save time and effort use an Ethernet cable.

I'm sorry, I no longer have this printer! And, I can't remember if I was able to make it wireless!

Suggest going on the internet to find the manual. (I couldn't find mine.) The word "ready" in "Wi-Fi ready" is a tip-off that you need something else to make it work. I have mine hardwired with a cable.

Skip the instructions for wireless setup, load the CD on the computer you want to print from, and have the CD "find" the printer wirelessly. This worked for me. The instructions led me nowhere. http://traveljapanblog.com/wordpress/2011/01/canon-pixma-mg5220-wireless-inkjet-photo-all-in-one-printercopierscanner/

The printer comes with a small power transformer. Mine had at the time I bought it (some years ago) came with a small USB printer cable. It didn't need any special drivers to install it. There was additional software supplied with the printer, ie a cd that had on it DYMO's postage program and a labeling prgram. I tried to use both and found them to be cumbersome and clunky. I never could get an account at "Endica" (Dymo's postage site) to work right and ended up using "Stamps.com" which I have used for over 5 years.

Mine didn't come with one and most printers do not include this cord. You can use one from an old printer but you can also set it up for wireless without needing to use a usb cord.

This printer does not have the wireless feature. I plug mine directly into a router.

Although I connect mine wirelessly, there is a port on back of the printer to hardwire connect via USB directly to your computer, otherwise you must have a wireless router.

Sorry, but I am unable to answer your question at this time. The printer was shipped without the power cord and adapter. They were just received so the printer is not in use yet.

At this point in time my printer has gone offline and its to much a hassle to upgrade . I would buy another one already upgraded. By this I mean the operating system I have us outdated I can't print wireless or get it to work . Not even hp tech line could get it to work. Hope that helps , they need to rewrite the program my opinion

If the box has no Bluetooth listing, the technology is not supported with the printer. You cannot do WiFi because no adapter is included. No printers of this kind supply one, as you often find the same disappointment expecting to find an HDMI cable with your new digital camera. Buying an accessory kit through a third-party is an excellent option, given you often pay rather little extra for the bundle.

You don't give any information other than your printer died. How long have you had it? Was it new or refurbished? Were you having any problems with it prior to it dying? How often do you use it? Eventually, the printer is going to die. I've had mine for 3-4 years. Mine still works as good as when I bought it. Even though I have WiFi at home, I hook my printer to my laptop when I need to print.

I agree with what someone else pointed out (the printer is NOT Ethernet capable). I suspect that the seller has confused this Brother with a different model. The printer should come with a power cord--but those are a dime-a-dozen, as all computer equipment that plugs into an AC outlet directly (without using a power supply) has the same kind of cord, which you can buy online or even locally for a few dollars. But why don't you ask the seller? The printer does come (when new) with a power cord. It does NOT, however, come with a USB cord which is what you will need to connect it to a computer.

This is still not exactly answered. He wants to know, as I do, if you can turn off the wifi so that the there is no wifi signal at all coming from the printer (e.g., if you were concerned about that). The answer ought to be yes but need confirmation.
