I have a Brother HL-2170W and all in all, I'm not very impressed with it's wireless capabilities.. It's VERY difficult to configure and get it all working correctly. I eventually had so many issues with it and wireless that I just ran a Cat5 cable to it..

Same experience here. I'm sure it would work fine for some people, but a printer that's constantly disconnecting is a major annoyance.

Wifi sucks on printers. Better to hard wire it to a router and then access it wirelessly through the network.
