Brother Printer 2270dw Wireless Setup With a Pen
In this video we go over how to setup this older mother brother laser printer, the HL-2270DW.
This method will work with other models with the same style WPS pen push button.
Make sure to set the Wifi WPS first, then the printer button.

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

[@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 😊

[@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!

[@ny8851]

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

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help ☺️

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@dikshansivakumaran7706]

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.

[@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".

[@viviz5787]

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

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it helped!

[@user-cv4pi2oe4s]

[@Hellokitty-lr1eg]

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

[@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 🤝

[@halraines9]

Thanks for your video. I've had this little printer forever. Simple hook up w/ your help.

[@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?

[@Jessica-yb6je]

Worked like a charm! Really appreciate it, thank you.

You saved me and our world from more e-waste. My wife almost bought a new printer, because the Wi-Fi connection was lost, and the printer is sitting in a room far from her WFH desk. Thank you, so much.

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 😃

[@JoDempseySales]

Only clicked this because you lugged this thing all the way home. 😂 👍👍

[@thecollegepicker]

Hahaha this was a different one.

[@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

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.

[@-stevenchu]

this video is so helpful, thx mate :)

[@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?

[@rodnolasco]

Working now. Thanks. Subscribed. :)

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

[@markzanetti6228]

most routers no longer have WPS buttons

[@JessOrnelas-vf5ms]

That was easy!

[@derekp2188]

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!"

[@gfotinakes316]

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!

[@ulichristine3246]

Thank you so much!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤗

[@ChrisBrooksufc]

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

[@Prickly_G]

Thank you. :)

[@MinaParkArt]

what if my router doesnt have a wps button

[@NOTW911]

I'm having the same issue. I keep reading to buy a new router but there must be some way ....

[@greenleaf4918]

Thanks, this helped

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome

Actually, it helped until the printer printed a pincode, which I don’t know where to enter. I tried to find it in device management on an attached pc but can’t find any instructions.

[@Truckseller89]

i did everything and got confirmation, but my windows still says its offline

[@surajkmali]

What about brother HL 2230? Please help if possible?

[@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!!

[@caeligood6607]

I have had this printer for years and have NEVER been able to figure out how to set it up. We have a Router from our Internet provider and it does not have that button.. and it is supposed to be the nicest router they had ..

[@thecollegepicker]

Sorry to hear that. Could you plug it in Ethernet for that?

[@zazzalo]

pretty strange but my 2270dw keeps going offline or simply doesnt want to print anymore. any advice for ppl using eero? (doesnt have wps)

[@canon9763]

I connected to router but it cant be found as an airprinter so pretty much a fail.

[@pattyhamann6179]

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!

[@SandraTDance]

Thanks I don't know what a router is? Would u know how I could connect this with my Android phone. I need to take am email off my phone. Amy suggestions would be great. Thanks

[@chrisneukum2168]

this has been helpful...however once I configured the printer it spit out "PIN CODE"...now I'm stuck...I dont know where the setup wizard is to input this 8 digit code...if anyone knows please advise

[@chrisneukum2168]

fyi update: i got to print wirelessly but letting everyone know i went and downloaded the "brother" printer wizard and set it up that way..tbh i was throwin ish against wall and got something to work eventually....i did NOT end up using the "pin code"...anyone have questions lemme know

I followed your instructions and got a printout: "Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN CODE" . Your method did not work.

[@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

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