You can connect directly to computer with USB. But going WI -FI is better. You can print from smart phone or tablet if you use WI - FI.

The quick answer is no it doesn't have to be connected to the internet .There are many way to use this printer. One if the nice things and I would guess this is more your question does it have to be connected to a WiFi network. I really like this printer. It prints beautiful photos.

You do not need to be connected to the internet for this printer to work. It will easily print from the internet, though. Once the software is loaded, it is a USB "plug and play."

If the printer is indeed a M601N (the "N" is for Network), then it will have a standard Ethernet connection for network connectivity. You would use a standard CAT-5 or CAT-6 network cable to connect the printer to your data network.

This printer has a network card so that it can be connected by wire to the internet through your router. Your computer can then communicate with it through your router.

The only way I know of is to print via the USB cable if you aren't connected to the network it is on.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

Yes. It either has to be connected through wireless or a standard usb printer cable.

it should be none. Recheck the settings on the printer. Use your web browser to go to the IP address of the printer, it should look like, but may not be (192.168.1.11) then just hit return. This is assuming that your connected to it via a network connection.

If the printer has no wireless connection you must first put through USB port on a PC or laptop to be shared over the network, this router is to access internet anywhere but must be connected to the network cable. There is another product that can meet your need is called wireless print server, you can search and find Amazon.

No it is wireless. You have to tell your computer what printer you are using.

It's not a Wi-Fi printer, so by itself it won't. You can however connect it to a computer and share the printer queue on that computer. That way other devices on your network could print to it through the shared queue.

It is wireless ready, so you need to have some type of internet access/network for the printer to be on. It also has a USB port/cable to print directly

Yes, you just have to connect it diretly to your computer using the included cable. Hope this helps..BTW, I've gone through 3 printers in 3 years, all with some problems. This Brother far exceedes every one of them, and works flawlessly. No problems whatsoever.

Marci, the printer would have to be connected direct to a computer in order to work with no internet service. It would only work from the computer to which it is connected.

Yes as long as the printer have WIFI otherwise you will have to connect the printer through an Ethernet cable.

Yes, I believe so, even though I didn't hook it up on a network (SOHO). The output of the printer status states that the network is disabled, which I interpret as a software setting issue rather than capabilities.

No. You can hook it up to a wireless router and access it that way. It's an excellent printer. I little noisy, but the print quality and scan quality are the best.
