How To Use Brother MFC-7820n AIO Printer On A Network

  • 2

I recently had to move my MFC-7820N to a different room than the room where the router is located. How do I setup the mfC-7820 without being plugged to the router since the router is in a different room than the printer

    1. If the printer is in the same room as your computer, you can plug the printer into the computer using a USB cable. If it’s not in the same room, read the next paragraph.
      Your printer is not wireless so you will need to get an Ethernet connection in there somehow. The easiest way would be to use a technology called IP over AC. Basically you have two devices, one sender, one receiver. The sending unit has an Ethernet port which connects to the router and plugs into the AC outlet. The receiver also has an Ethernet connection, you would plug the receiver into the AC outlet in the same room as the printer and plug the printer into the receiver.

      Most companies that make routers also make these devices and can be found at electronic stores like Best Buy.
