Brother MFC - J5910DW wireless not recognized

I have a Brother MFC-J5910DW and Windows 8.   Everything was working fine until yesterday when the computer does not recognize the wireless connection and I received a print error message.  I tried to uninstall the software and downloaded the most recent software drivers from the manufacturer's website.  When I temporarily connect via USB cable to configure the printer, he finds the correct SSID.  However, as soon as I unplug the USB cable, I can not continue installing wireless because the printer is no longer visible.

Hello

Turn your router off and leave it off for 3 minutes. -Restart after that there
initialized restart the printer and the computer. Then try the installation again.

Check with the support of brother.

  • Software OCR Brother mfc j5910dw

    Hi all

    I bought an iMac in March 2015, but my Brother MFC-J5910DW will not run the OCR scan because I don't have the software installed on my iMac. I had a PC when I bought the printer about 3 years ago and have this software, but it will not work on Apple products. I called their tech support and they don't have or won't send me the OCR software for my iMac.

    Any suggestions?

  • Satellie Pro A120 - network adapter wireless not recognized by any operating system

    Hello

    I have a satellite Pro A120 (I bought two - it's a long story!)

    A month ago, I replaced the battery as life batt had fallen to 30 minutes. As a result, there were major problems with windows and toshiba software compete on power management and the long and short it wasn't that XP needed to be reinstalled.

    However, due to the relocation, the wireless card is not recognized. It is not the card, I swapped it out of the computer and it works fine in my other A120. If anyone has any ideas as to why it would not be recognized and that I could do to remedy the situation?

    Thank you very much for your time.

  • Brother MFC-L27000DW do not wake on print

    Just bought a Brother MFC-L27000DW and have problems make him wake up when printing to it.

    I have a Windows7 machine and it seems to have no problem to wake the printer to sleep deep whenever I have something down the print queue send to her. El Capitan however doesn't.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from brother and can get the printer to work if I put it off and then on again. But I can't seem to print from El Capitan by sending something to the queue printing after that he went to sleep.

    I wireless print and there is no wifi connection problem because it works very well after completing the printer.

    Update for this. After having frustrated and entertaining the idea of returning to the printer, I called brother support.

    They walked me through the process of updating the firmware on the printer and now everything works normally.

    Impression of something of El Capitan it will send to the queue printing and the printer will wake up from deep sleep and print normally.

    Everything is good.

    In case anyone want to know the details, you can press on the ' *' and ' # ' at the same time the keys on the keypad of the printer and see your firmware version. My long string of digits began with an 'H' and the latest driver from 11.1.2016 is 'J '.

  • Brother MFC 7820N does not work after upgrade to El Capitan

    I installed my OS to El Capitan. My multifunction Brother MFC 7820N printer was working perfectly before the upgrade. Now, I get an error message indicating that the printer is not connected, even though it is. He is unresponsive to the print command, and I can't find new compatible drivers on the Brother site. Any suggestions?

    If you haven't already done so, try to reset the printing system.

    Hi Karen,.

    -What version of Windows is installed on the computer?

    -What antivirus/firewall software you have installed on the computer?

    The document from HP concerning "printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c02817031#N80

    You have tried most the steps mentioned in the document, but please try once more.

    Additionally, make sure that you disable the antivirus and firewall programs just to make sure that these programs do not block the detected printer.

    Note: You must enable the /firewall antivirus as soon as you've done troubleshooting. If this is not the case, your computer will be vulnerable to viruses.

    Let us know if the steps of troubleshooting mentioned in the link will help.

  • Brother MFC-7420 does not appear on the Device Manager

    I run a Brother MFC-7420 on Windows Vista - do it for a few years. Last week, it stopped printing in the middle of a report. When I print, it shows Status: Error. I did that the USB is correctly plugged at the end of the printer and hard drive. I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled the driver software. The installation will not accomplish when I reconnect the USB hard drive according to the instructions. The printer does not appear in Device Manager - is usually present in the other devices folder, but who is absent too. Other thoughts?

    Found a solution to the problem - had to install with a USB port - see below:

  • New wireless brother MFC-495 does not print Windows XP laptop

    Similar to other issues but quite different:

    1 installed the printer on the desktop that does not have wireless using the USB port.  Prints.

    2nd software installed on my laptop wireless.  I can see the printer in the Printers folder, it says ready, but will not be printed.  Printer has been implemented with the SSID, etc. and has even an indicator that it's getting the wireless signal.  I know that the laptop is wireless or I would not be writing from it now.

    How do I get my laptop and printer to really talk to each other?  BTW, my wireless router works fine from my phone runs Android on it.  Power doesn't have to be on the desktop for this.

    I really don't want the computers on the network since I will be out of the office, but so far the system made me do in my attempts to get the printer to print wireless.

    Rose

    I have all the IP addresses, but rather would not provide them.  Had problems with the protection of privacy on several fronts recently.

    When I go to printers and faxes, I have several printers 'shared' here.  Probably because I installed the drivers for the printer on the desktop and laptop.  Regardless, none of the printers to print from the laptop from the desktop computer.  The port on one is "roselaptop": Port TCP/IP Standard.  The other is COM4: serial port.  I have 2 computers on a network as a network home and figured that should solve the problem.  The laptop is the "residential gateway" in the network set up.  Looks like I should be able to add this wireless printer to the network.  It's playback a signal very well.

    I'll try to disconnect the USB cable from the desktop computer and see what happens.

    Thank you for all your detailed descriptions that have helped me!

    Rose

    You are currently too caveats regarding the IP addresses, but may help the following:

    When you have a router, the ONLY IP address that is "seen" by the rest of the Internet is one assigned to your router by your ISP.  The router assigns IP addresses to the devices to the 'internal' - your LAN - that's why they are called "private" IP addresses  There are three blocks of these private IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.  Almost every router uses the third block (which has the smallest number of possible addresses).  And almost every default router uses is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.

    Regardless a block of IP addresses used by your router, it is important that all devices are on the same subnet.  For example, if the default gateway (which is the local IP address of the router) is 192.168.1.1, then your computer AND the printer must have the form 192.168.1.x IP addresses.  If your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, then others should be 192.168.0.x.

    The difference between a shared printer and a network printer, the shared printer is a "resource" of a computer that is connected to the network.  In order to access a shared resource (if it is a file on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer by a cable of USB, series or parallel), the computer that "owns" the resource must be turned on and connected to the network.

    In your original post, you said that you had a wireless router.  This is the typical way that specific set up networks.  It is inconsistent, however, describing your laptop as the residential gateway.  Maybe say you you see an icon called "Residential gateway" laptop "My Network Places."  If so, this icon represents your router.

    Your description of the ports is also confused.  Usually, when you configure a port for the printer, the port name is the name you give to the printer - not the laptop.  But what is important here is that the IP address displayed on the screen 'Set up the Port' for the port of "TCP/IP Standard" that the printer uses (the one with the box), must be the same as the IP address assigned to the printer (which you find in print 'report Network Configuration' from the control panel of the printer).

  • Satellite Pro 2100: card network wireless not recognized after upgrade

    I have a Satellite Pro 2100 ad I used successfully a PCIMCIA 802. 11b card wifi for two years.

    Studying the manual, I discovered that the notebook is "wifi ready" (it has a wifi switch, a switch wifi of Alt - F8, and a section of the manual).

    I opened a Bay and found out a mini-pci slot. That's why I bought an Intel 2200 BG wireless adapter and I put it inside, which connects the sons of two antennas, located in the Bay. Finally, I was ready to son mask 11 and 13, as suggested in many forums. But when I put the card inside, unknown electrically. It seems that the mini-pci slot must be Electric.toutes impossible. My Bios is not impossible, but it.

    In another Bay close to the mini-pci card, I discovered an empty shell for a chip. Is this an impossible chip?

    The card is correctly recognized and installed in the Device Manager?

    Hello

    1. you receive the error message only when you scan directly from the Brother MFC-J615W printer?

    2. are you able to scan or print from the computer to which the printer is connected?

    If the problem occurs only when you try directly scan at the printer, then I would suggest that you contact the support of brother about the question.
