How to Set Up the Hl-2170W With a Linksys Wireless-G

The Brother HL-2170W black laser printer comes with a wired and wireless network interface. This makes networking the printer to the Linksys Wireless-G network a simple process. The "BRAdmin Light" utility that comes on the printer installation CD makes networking the printer simple for any user. This utility can also be found on the Brother website. Once you have successfully networked the printer to all the computers, you can use the laser printer as a default printer and save money by avoiding the use of expensive inkjet printing.
