Recently I bought a Brother All-In-One Inkjet ALSO GET been ACTUAL happy with it. Since it had ENTIRE the controls UPON the printer itself, I was able INTO set up the wireless connection quickly ALSO without SOME problem. Plus, ENTIRE the other features worked well. I needed a laser printer INTO replace my ACTUAL old NEC. Based UPON my experience with the Brother Inkjet I decided INTO buy this Brother 2170W.
The Brother laser printer is ACTUAL small, yet holds 250 pages which is far INTENSIVE than my old one. It wakes up INSIDE less than 10 seconds FURTHERMORE prints pages lightening fast. The print quality is sharp ALSO clear. I GET the printer INSIDE my office ALSO connected it directly INTO my PC with the USB cable. However, I also GET a laptop about 10 feet away that I wanted INTO setup wireless INTO the laser printer. Well, that is where the problems began.
I tried for several hours INTO connect the laser printer INTO my laptop ALSO never could get it right. I was able INTO connect wirelessly directly between the printer ALSO laptop without going through the router. However, doing it this way I could not be UPON the internet ALSO printer IN THE MANNER OF the same time. Also, the connection would keep dropping. Try SINCE I may, I could not connect the printer through the router like my other Brother Inkjet. I am convinced that I am simply doing some little something wrong. Therefore, I can not blame the printer for something that is my fault. Since I do GET the printer wired INTO the other printer INSIDE the office ALSO that printer is connected INTO the router, FURTHERMORE I can still access the laser printer through the other computer.
I am still giving the Brother 2170W printer high marks because, except for the connection problems, it is ONE excellent printer.
UPDATE: I was trying INTO setup the printer wirelessly, without plugging the cable INSIDE. Bad idea! I finally decided INTO wire the printer INTO the router SINCE recommended INSIDE the manual. After setting it up I unplugged the wired connection ALSO now the printer works wirelessly from both of my computers. The whole thing took less than 3 minutes. Lesson for today: Read the manual ALSO do what it Recommends.
It would benefit most people INTO GET a laser printer INSIDE addition INTO their inkjet printer. And this is why. Keep track of just how many documents ALSO letters you print that do not require color. If you print INTENSIVE than ten percent INSIDE black ALSO white FURTHERMORE you can save a lot of money UPON ink by using a laser printer. Here are some figures INTO consider. The cost of toner (ink) for a laser printer is higher than inkjet, but a laser can print many INTENSIVE pages. The cost per page UPON a laser printer can be SINCE low SINCE 3 cents. Whereas, the cost of ink for ONE inkjet can be 11 cents or INTENSIVE per page, ALSO that cost can be ten times INTENSIVE for photos. Therefore, if you only print a few things that do not require color FURTHERMORE you may only save ten INTO twenty percent UPON ink. However, if you do a lot of black ALSO white printing FURTHERMORE you could save fifty INTO seventy percent UPON ink using a laser printer. And if you decide INTO buy a laser, FURTHERMORE this Brother is one of the best because of the speed ALSO print quality.
ANOTHER UPDATE: After using this printer for several months I must give it 5 stars. It has worked ENTIRE this time with no problems IN THE MANNER OF ENTIRE ALSO I love it. However, I still give the overall rating 4 stars because of the install problem. I even contacted Brother several times ALSO followed their directions UPON how INTO set up the printer without using a cable. Both Brother ALSO myself finally gave up because it just would not work unless I used a cable, even though Brother said it would. Brother never did figure out why it wouldn’t work that way. But, it doesn’t matter. When I want INTO change my WiFi key, I just use a cable.
