The router is available and you are authorized to connect the printer.

Step-by-step

Open Brother support, select the complete model and operating system, and obtain the official installation package.
Run it and select Wireless Network Connection (Wi-Fi) when asked for the connection method.
Follow the installer prompts for the intended router and credentials; do not enter a router password on PrinterHelp.
If setup fails, read the WLAN report and match its TS code to this exact model family.
Add the resulting network printer in Windows and print a test page.

Check whether it worked

Printer joins the intended LAN and a Windows test page prints.

If it still fails

Use TS-01 through TS-08 and network-diagnostic-flow; do not guess that every Brother printer is 2.4GHz-only.
