## 📶 **2. Before You Begin — What You’ll Need**
Before starting the setup process, make sure you have:
✔ **Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** and **password (Wi-Fi key)** — these are case-sensitive.
✔ **Your Wi-Fi router is switched ON and functioning** (internet isn’t necessary just for local Wi-Fi).
✔ **A Windows PC, Mac, or mobile device** connected to the same Wi-Fi.
✔ **The Brother HL-L2360DW printer turned ON** and in a ready state (no error lights).
✔ **Optional:** A USB cable if you’re using the USB-assisted method. ([HackMD][2])
*Important networking note:* Some printers — including Brother models — are designed to work on standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi bands. If your network has both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, ensure your computer or mobile is connected to the 2.4 GHz band during setup to avoid connectivity issues. ([Reddit][3])
