An access point is in the network, but the computer is not wireless capable
This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point is connected to
a computer which is not wireless capable with the Ethenet cable. When the Brother wireless machine (your
machine) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
