Brother Printer 2270dw Wireless Setup With a Pen

[@MrSevigny19]

Thank you so much! The setup was so complicated and I couldn't get it to work before I saw you video. Thumbs up!

[@chary9712]

I've had this printer for a few years and FINALLY, thanks to this video I have the wireless printing set up! Great video!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 😊

[@dasawdustgirl2943]

Thank you so much for this video. This printer type was donated to me with no instructions on how to set up. Thanks a million.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome

[@beloved9152]

Thank you sir! This was such an easier way then what Brother first had me do! I appreciate your help! God bless 😊

[@ny8851]

Great stuff......have had this printer for ages & every time it goes of line I'm bamboozled !!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help ☺️

What if the printer prints out a wifi protected setup with a pin code?

[@melissadeal5099]

Did you figure this out? Having this problem too.

[@isarafan]

I get a pin number too

[@isarafan]

I ended up using an ancient USB cable just for the installation process, and it connected it to the network without issues. Now it works wirelessly. Ancient tech for the win!

[@Mr95Kenny]

If you press the button with pen longer than a second it prints the pin code, power down reset, all you need is to just click the button with pen, at least thats what worked on my second try, no long press!

[@Pelicrow]

​@@Mr95Kennythank you, from the bttm of my heart.

[@maheshsankaran7981]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for posting this video. I have owned this printer for a bunch of years and never knew about this trick for connecting it to my home WiFi. I had always struggled to reconnect it to WiFI whenever the connection conked out for whatever reason.

[@Prickly_G]

I echo this comment exactly. Thank you!

[@shalom64112]

Hello, Collegepicker! You promised to link to a video for those who don't have a WPS router (at 1:22). My new router (courtesy of Spectrum) has no WPS button/switch. I've been able to reconfigure my Brother 2270DW to the new router using a downloaded wizard from Brother, but I can't get it connected to the new LAN. I've used it for years with the old LAN (that included a WPS router), but now I'm stuck. Help!!

[@kendrastenlund7829]

Thank you, this was really helpful. This is a great printer btw. I've had it for years, and even though the cartridge is expensive it's lasts 2-3 years with at home use.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome. I was so lost before I figured this one out.

[@drlegendre]

Cartridge is expensive? You can get a new 3rd party drum & toner for about $15 on ebay.

[@viviz5787]

I didn't expect it to work. But it worked perfectly. Quick and easy! Thanks~

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it helped!

[@oxeclean8]

Got it to print the "Connection : OK" page but it still won't show up on my computer or anywhere as connected to the network to actually print. Anybody else encounter and resolve this?

[@susan3235]

Help n I've followed this successfully a couple of times but have recently changed providers and while all the steps are successful - the all important one - printing wirelessly doesn't.

[@medimagery.]

Same here. Everything looks like the video on my printer. But when I go to print, the Brother Printsetup says "Printer offline".

[@Hellokitty-lr1eg]

Great video, short and to the point. Thank you so much.

[@DonnaScofield-h6b]

Thank you so much for this video. Saved me from buying a new printer or hours of frustration

[@oopsdididothat7727]

received a print out that it's wifi-protected with a pin code. Any help?

[@marlenescarlettlopezroman8439]

Press the wireless setup button located at the back of the machine for less than 2 seconds. DO NOT press the button for 3 seconds or more, since the machine will change to the PIN Method of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode. To clear this mode, wait for 5 minutes or turn the printer power switch off and then turn it on again. After clearing this mode, press the wireless setup button and try from the step 1 again. support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl2270dw_all&faqid=faq00002037_011

[@fauxmaux]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your video was extraordinarily helpful. I am so grateful. xoxo

[@ChrisBrooksufc]

Is there anything yet for hooking up the 2170W with a Router without WPS (Starlink)

[@ryanthomastew]

Super ez - Ty for the helpful video!

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help

[@carligrube4133]

My router does NOT have a WPS button but does have WPS capabilities. When I hit the button on the printer, it printed out a page with an 8 digit pin. I am not sure where to go from here to connect the two?

[@KhalilHouri]

Thank you very much for this video. It helped me connect my printer where in the past I had some problems. one thing to note on my printer when enabling WPS I was, pushing and holding the pen and nothing was happening. I figured out it just needs to be clicked once.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Yes just click once 🤝

[@JimBiggr]

I got the same page you did but it still doesn’t print and it says my printers offline. I’ve tried going to system preferences and printers to reset but nothing happens when I right click on it.

[@mostefabounegta7047]

Thanks for this video, but What about brother HL 2170w without wps option ? Please help if possible?

[@Mikee535]

So I recently bought some generic TN450 toner for my Brother HL-2270DW, which I bought in 2011. I have been connecting via USB and when I swapped the cartridge it printed one page, then nothing. I have been troubleshooting for quite awhile. I followed your instructions and now its printing wirelessly on two MacBook Pro, but not on the USB, that just no longer works. One Mac is connected via wifi, the other is plugged into the router via cat5 and wifi is turned off, on that computer. Im glad its working but do not understand why the USB connection is no longer working. On one Mac I am sharing the printer on the network, on the other with the wired connection to the router, I have sharing set to off but it still works.

[@thecollegepicker]

Try a different USB cable.

Took several attempts but Drum started flashing; however, it then printed WI-FI Protected Setup 8 digit pin code and then connection failed printed. Been trying to find/search next steps. Any thoughts? I did get a new router about two weeks ago; all other devices connected successfully; now trying to connect my Brother HL2270DW. Tried via Brother software--failed also. TY

[@pattyhamann6179]

Nevermind -- read more of the comments and saw how to reset the pin. Followed and just printed. Most useful video and comments!! Thank you!

From Mr95Kenny in a nested comment below: if your printer prints a "wi-fi protected setup" pin code: "If you press the button with pen longer than a second it prints the pin code, power down reset, all you need is to just click the button with pen, at least thats what worked on my second try, no long press!"

I was having trouble with my connection and then I read your comment with "a quick click with the pen", it worked! ...thank you for helping me out!

hey sent me pin code why? thank you

you need to add a new device and when it sees the printer click and will have a place to had the code.

Do you have a 2.4ghz band? Are you turning on the router WPS first?

A walkthrough that even an idiot could do. Thanks!

[@greenleaf4918]

Just don’t press the pen into back of printer too long, or it will print password, which who knows what to do with. After I got it right, the printer printed a report saying it was connected. But I still can’t print from my wi-fi-connected phone to the supposedly wi-fi-connected printer🤷🏽‍♂️

Doesn't work, tried twice. Router is a Comcast Arris TG1682G

[@thecollegepicker]

I believe Comcast routers block WPS, or possibly it doesn't have a 2.4ghz band.

[@drlegendre]

@@thecollegepicker Definitely has 2.4GHz band. Not sure why it might block WPS, it has the button and the firmware supports the feature

[@thecollegepicker]

It's possible they turned it off in settings for security reasons.
