Does anyone use this printer wirelessly with WPA/WPA2 encryption methods?

WPA 2 has worked great since the startup. I have only printed about 500 pages since startup a few months ago and I have been thrilled with this printer

Yep...I use WPA2 and it never has any connectivity trouble. It isn't fun typing in a complex pass code, but I've only had to do it once. I use an AirPort Extreme access point. (Previous generation)

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

this is a wired print server, I have never tried printing wireless but in theory I think it could work as long as the print server in plugged in your wireless router.

Yes you can use both wired and wireless at the same time with this printer.I initially set it up via USB to a win7 machine and subsequently to 2 wireless win 7's and an XP machine using a wireless adapter.It works flawlessly, but won't wake on LAN, so you have to make sure it is on. Extend the time before "auto off" for best results.

Yes a wired network printer can work wireless with this gadget. The manual is not good at all so you should have some basic knowledge of networks and IP configuration.

I have this printer set up to receive print commands from both PC's and Apple products at my home. Using the wireless network I have sent documents to the printer from an Ipad, Ipad mini, Apple laptop. and a HP laptop. No problems.

I have an HP wireless printer and don't have any trouble with it printing over the wireless network.

Yes there is. Don't bother buying the expensive HP wireless print G print servers. I went thru a few of them as they would fail after about a year. I made that mistake a couple times before I wised up. Now I'm using the TP-LINK TL-WPS510U and have had no issues whatsoever with it. Setup was straight-forward. If you are still using this printer, then I'd recommend the TP-LINK wireless print server.

Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE. Yes... you can ONLY print wirelessly... which the guy in the store didn't tell me. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known as I need a printer I can take with me to events and they are not always at places with a wireless signal.Also... even though I have wireless in my home... my printer will NOT print at all when I send the print job to it. The only way i can get it to work is to EMAIL the print job... so it requires extra steps.I've printed with it only about 5 times now... and each time took me more than 30 minutes to try and get it to work. The last time it had numerous paper jams.Other people seem to like theirs... maybe I got a lemon. Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE.

I use this printer from my wireless laptop through a TrendNet router and a keyspan usb server (lets me use a printer, scanner and any other usb device wirelessly through my router). If you only have the printer you could plug in a plain usb print server to use with any router. It does not come with wireless capability built in. Print servers are under $20.

Not that I am aware of. My son researched and was okay with it for security. He is in that business. I found it much easier to set up wpa2 once I did the firmware update that I found. Also, running the set up on chrome didn't display correctly affecting my security setup. I ran it on Firefox with better results.

I don't believe there is a way to make this printer wireless. I use it on a network and it works just fine.

Hi! I have no idea...but I do print from other lap and desktops wirelessly with no problem.

Yes. If you use the software to set up the printer (which is wired), your computer will be able to print to it over your wireless network. Be advised: It is advertised as a Google Cloud Enabled printer. That function no longer works. Brother has stated that they are working to address it, but it is currently not working on this printer.UPDATE: The latest firmware addresses the Google Cloud Print issue

I just received this printer and have a company coming to my home to set it up on Monday. I have done some online research and found many people have trouble with the wireless connection. I have a laptop computer and have wireless internet via ATT Uverse "2Wire" modem. I found this answer when I did a search online: "I had the same problems with a 2Wire router from AT&T.; I simply found the router and selected "open system" and then chose the WEP encryption and entered the key. The printer immediately connected to the router." Evidently using "shared" instead of "open" is the problem. I just received this printer and have a company coming to my home to set it up on Monday.
