WAX214 - Connect Scanner Using WPS
Hi! Newbie problem: Just bought a Brother DS-940DW wireless document scanner and would like to connect it to the home LAN via the WAX214 access point so that all computers can use it via the net...
Thanks for the reply.
I resolved it eventually by using the "Machine Settings", available from either "Brother Utilities" or from "Brother iPrint&Scan". This brings up a web browser interface to the scanner itself. Log in using the password on the bottom of the scanner, then select the Network tab, Wireless sub-tab and Wireless (Personal) menu option. On this screen the SSID and Passphrase can be manually entered.
The reason for my initial confusion was that clicking on Machine Settings did nothing for me. This turned out to be a Windows 10 glitch - web pages were not opening from email links either. So I went into Settings, reassigned my default browser and rebooted; then I was able to access Machine Settings.
Consult your Brother DS-940DW for Wi-Fi Infrastructure mode configuration, manually add the network name SSID and the wireless key (wireless PSK password).
Start from https.//support.brother.com/ of you don't know how to access your device Web UI.
This should not require any assistance, neither from the Brother nor or Netgear help desk 8-)
To my knowledge, there is no virtual WPS Button on the WAX214 (or any other Business Wireless Access Point). I'll request a moderator moving your post to the correct Business Wireless community section.
Thanks for the reply.
