Update the Wi-Fi password on your Brother

Changed your Wi-Fi password? The printer keeps trying the old one and never reconnects. Re-run the wizard with the new password.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • Wi-Fi icon shows “not connected” after a password change
  • Printer was working before you updated the router
  • Other devices reconnected fine but the printer didn't

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    On the panel, go to Menu → Network → WLAN → Setup Wizard.

  2. 2

    Select your network again and enter the new password when prompted.

  3. 3

    Wait for “Connection OK” and a solid Wi-Fi icon.

  4. 4

    If the wizard remembers the old network, choose it and select “Edit” rather than scanning fresh.

  5. 5

    Print a test page from the Brother iPrint&Scan app to confirm two-way communication.

Pro tip

If you use WPS, the password change is automatic — press WPS on the router and the printer re-pairs without retyping anything.
