Printer doesn't support wireless networking

ProGamer643 · Feb 15, 2014

I have a Brother MFC-9120CN, and basically I want to connect it up to my network, but that isn't possible because it only supports networking by means of an ethernet cable. I could move the modem out to where it is, but by doing that it would be too far away from my computer and create bad wi-fi signal. Is there some way of doing it wirelessly?

Thanks

Can you put the printer near your modem?

I can't really because my house has limited jack points, the modem is in the room next door where people sleep, and they probably wouldn't appreciate the printer loudly churning out pages whenever someone needs to print something.

Search Google for "wireless print server devices". Here are some:

https://www.google.com/search?q=print+server+devices&oq=print+server+devices&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l4.5192j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=wireless+print+server+devices&tbm=shop

The problem is that almost all are designed to interface printers who only have a USB connection. In a quick look I did not see any that have an Ethernet to wireless interface. So I suspect most would only work if your printer also has a USB port (most do).

Given the price of printers when they're on sale, it would probably be not much more expense to buy a printer with wireless built in and sell your current printer.
