## **1. Introduction to Wireless Printing**

Wireless printing eliminates the need for physical cables between your computer or phone and your printer. Instead, both your Brother printer and device communicate over your home or office Wi-Fi network.

This setup is especially helpful in shared environments where multiple people need access to the same printer. Whether you are using Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS, Brother printers offer easy compatibility with wireless printing protocols such as **AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother iPrint&Scan**.

However, for the printer to function wirelessly, it must first connect to your Wi-Fi network properly — and that’s exactly what we’ll show you how to do.

## **2. Benefits of Connecting Brother Printer to Wi-Fi**

Connecting your Brother printer to Wi-Fi offers numerous advantages, such as:

* **No More Cables:** You don’t need USB or Ethernet cables to print.
* **Convenience:** Print from anywhere within your Wi-Fi range.
* **Mobile Printing:** Print directly from your smartphone using the Brother iPrint&Scan app.
* **Shared Access:** Multiple users can share a single printer.
* **Cloud Printing:** Send print jobs from cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox.
* **Fewer Setup Hassles:** Once connected, devices remember the printer automatically.

If you’re unsure which method suits your printer model, Brother’s trained technicians can assist you. Simply call **1-866-203-7571** to get professional help.
