Brother MFC-495CW Wireless Configuration - Hidden SSID not supported?

My network was also hidden. To simplify the process i made my network visible and then the printer found my network right away. I was then able to add this printer to my network. When I completed the setup I made my network invisible again. Worked great!

I don't think so, but i had it a while ago before Brother had made an app so that may not be the case now. Even if you can, it is an awful printer!

I have never tried to use this feature. However, the sticker on the top of the printer states that it has a "print from mobile devices" feature. It goes on to specify "Requires connection to a wireless network. See www.brother.com for details, availability, and mobile device compatibility." I hope this helps.

After downloading the printer drivers, I still find the duplex option is not available - any ideas on how to enable?

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.

It's been a while George, but if I recall correctly you need to temporarily enable SSID broadcast to set it up. Then you can disable again.

This model is network capable, it can be connected by cable to a wireless router which would then provide wireless access to the printer by other computers in your network. MF4570dw is the wireless model of this printer.

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

Not capable of independent wireless operation. The hosting computer can provide a link to the printer over Bluetooth or wifi or via Google's printing with chrome

I can't find any instructions in the manual and no indications of any wireless capability. We have a tax practice and have decided to go paperless with our supporting documentation. This unit is working fine with minimal setup and minimal jamming with source documentation that borders on heavy (social security statements) to light (yellow legal pages). Although the software is loaded onto just one of our computers, the scanned images are saved to a network hard drive accessible to all of the computers on the network. I haven tried networking the scan function into any more units

You rock man for posting this! what happen with me is that I attached a Wii to the network and it took the printer's IP address! Making the Ip address of the printer static is the key. This way, my computers aren't knocking on the addresses of other devices looking for the printer! :)Thanks again!

I would advise you to return it. I went through the same thing. What I learned from an IT friend....I live in a townhouse complex, the wifi could not distinguish my wifi code due to so many other wifi subscribers near by. I do think he was correct in his evaluation. I gave the printer to my sibling. He lives in a home. No problem receiving a connection to his wifi subscriber. This meant no more off line nonsense. I hope that helps.

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.

During the initial setup you will have to type in your SSID...But once you have finished going through the setup and KNOW your SSID and PASSWORD..You have the option of "hiding" your SSID by not broadcasting it....

If you have security enabled on your wifi router or just have the routers name "SSID" hidden. Take security off or unhidden the SSID and try to connect again. Mine is working fine but I had a hidden wifi name and had to unhide it to connect the first time.

unit should be located midway between router and your device. N150 will have its own SSID. Router SSIS_ EXT
