What to do if my Brother Printer says 'A device is already connected'?

If your Brother Printer displays the message 'A device is already connected. Press OK' while using Wi-Fi Direct, it means that two mobile devices are already connected when the Brother machine is the Group Owner. To resolve this, wait for the current connection between your Brother machine and the other mobile device to shut down, and then try configuring the Wi-Fi Direct settings again. You can check the connection status by printing the Network Configuration Report.
