How to connect wireless printer wirelessly to netgear nighthawk AC3200 without a USB cable

I don't have the cable for the wirless wifi brother printer and got a new router nighthawk X6 AC3200. It seems the only way to connect is through a USB port. Is there a way to configure it wirelessly without the USB cable?

    You should be able to connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network by using the controls on the printer.

      That worked! I selected network through the printer menu and then WPS and used the WPS wizard thriugh the router. Thanks for helping. Saved me a lot of time.
