Connect Brother DCP-L2540DW printer to tmobile Home WiFi
I was able to get my Brother printer printing and connected to my iOS devices without a call to Brother. If your Brother is similar to my HL-L2360 with a small display and a few buttons, then don't punish yourself by trying to connect to WiFi using that insanely horrible interface. Find and download their Wireless Device Setup Wizard (I have a Mac, I don't know if there is similar Windows software). Search for brother printer setup wizard download.
1) I reset the network on my Brother printer. I don't know if this is necessary or not. To do this you need to find the steps for the buttons to push. Don't try to figure it out with the keypad. You will get stuck printing test pages and trying to connect to WiFi. I did say it's an insanely horrible interface, didn't I!
2) I booted the Wireless Device Setup Wizard on my Mac. I connected the printer to my Mac with a USB printer cable. Then I followed the steps in the wizard and completed the setup, but when I disconnected the USB cable the wireless connection to my printer failed. I tried to "Add a printer" in the Mac System Preferences, but my Mac saw no printer.
3) This morning my Gateway lost its internet connection. Please T-Mobile fix this, and I do have the latest firmware which I was told: "would fix all the problems". I rebooted the Gateway.
4) Before my planned call to Brother this morning I figured I would try again. Low and behold my Brother appeared in the available printer list as a Bonjour printer and I could add it. Now it prints wirelessly from my Mac.
5) Then I tried printing from my iPhone. Sure enough, it sees the printer and it prints.
Conclusion: It appears that upon resting the Brother WiFi setup the next step is to reboot the Gateway. Good luck and let us know if you can refine the steps for this fix.
