Before you begin
First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network
router/access point. After the machine is configured to communicate with your router/access point, computers on
your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install
the drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the
network router/access point as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two
devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you
may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest throughput speed.
Although the Brother MFC-6890CDW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the
connection methods can be used at a time.
Infrastructure Mode
a Router/Access Point
b Wireless Network machine (your machine)
c Wireless capable computer connected to the access point
d Wired computer connected to the access point
