## 🧩 Part 1: Basic Checks Before Setup

Perform these initial checks to eliminate simple issues before starting the full troubleshooting process.

### ✅ Step 1: Verify Wi-Fi Network

* Ensure your **Wi-Fi router** is powered on and broadcasting a **2.4GHz network**.
* The MFC-L2700DW **does not support 5GHz** networks.
* Check your phone or laptop — if they can connect to the same Wi-Fi, the network is functioning properly.

### ✅ Step 2: Bring Devices Closer

Keep the **printer**, **computer**, and **router** within **6–8 feet** during the setup process. Long distance or thick walls can weaken the Wi-Fi signal.

### ✅ Step 3: Restart Everything

Power cycle your devices:

1. Turn off your **Brother printer**, **router**, and **computer**.
2. Wait 60 seconds.
3. Turn them back on in this order — router → printer → computer.

### ✅ Step 4: Note Down Your Wi-Fi Details

You’ll need the following:

* **SSID (Network Name)**
* **Wi-Fi Password**
* **Router type (2.4GHz or 5GHz)**
* **Network security type (WPA2/WPA3)**

Make sure these details are accurate before proceeding.
