Hello, I try and try, but the connection of the Brother DCP-J315W printer to my laptop via wi-fi does not work. The printer sees the router and connects to it, but that's where it ends. I have installed all the drivers but the printer is offline times even though it is connected to the router. I reset the router, took off the security and nothing ... Please help greetings

Been with us since 2010 year.
I configure everything according to the instructions and the printer prints me a report that it is connected to the router's network and the status prompt on the computer shows it to me offline.
1 Press "Menu" on the printer. Continue with "Print reports / WLAN report" and "OK". If the printed report shows "Connection K "and the status of" Offline "on the computer, go to point 2. If not, this method may not work (but it's worth trying).
2. Press "Menu" on the printer. Continue with "Print Reports / Network Config" and "OK". We underline on the printout (so as not to be mistaken and easy to find) "IP Address" We check the "Boot Method" below. It will probably be "AUTO".
3. Press "Menu" on the printer. Next "Network / TCP IP / Boot method" choose "Static".
4. Go to the Control Panel on the computer. We choose "Printers and Faxes". Right-click on our Brother we go to "Properties / Ports / Add port / Standard TCP IP Port / New port". A wizard will open. Click "Next", then enter the Printer's IP Number, which we found in point 2. Confirm.
5. A new one has appeared in the list of ports, it is selected by default. We choose "Configure Port" and in the "Protocol" section we choose "Raw". We confirm, we close.
6. From the control panel or My Computer, right-click on the scanner icon and enter "Properties / Network Settings". We select "Specify a device by address" and enter the IP found in the second point there. We confirm, close everything, restart the computer.
Hello I got to point 6, I did everything as it says but I use visty and please tell me what in point 6 means exactly the scanner icon somehow I can't get to these "Network Properties / Settings". Where exactly do I find these network settings in the vi, after making all 5 points. Thanks for the help
edit. I did everything including point 5 and without point 6 it works It was enough to go to the printer / then on brother to select online instead of offline and it was gone Thanks for this post, he made a lot easier for me Nevertheless, I would be grateful to write down what this point 6 is about
I have the same problem, of course I also stopped on ptk 6, it seems to me that it describes drawing the device with an xp address, and how to do it on windows 7. I can't find offline changes to online either
Hello, I just got a brother J315W printer and I'm trying to connect to my laptop via WiFi. Only I don't have a router (I have internet via cable), so how to connect directly to the printer?
Hello, I did everything like in the manual, but it still doesn't work, I don't know what happened because before that everything was going well. The printer connects to the router but is offline on the laptop. What's next?
Hello ! I struggled with setting up my Brother DCP 375CW printer with an Asus RT N 10LX router for over 3 hours Previously, I had a D-link dir 630 router and there were no such circuses. Fortunately, we still have kind people. Thank you very much cow for help !!! Best wishes .
Hello. Let me add to the topic, because I have such a problem. When I create a new port, I enter the IP number and the following message appears: The device was not found in the network. Make sure that: 1.The device is turned on 2.Network is connected 3.The device is properly configured 4. The address is correct
If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below>
Well, I don't know what to do next, I don't know what type of device to choose, .. What could be wrong?
I had the same problem, I wanted to connect the printer via the wlan card (wifi) installed in the computer in ad-hoc mode. For 3 days I was fighting and nothing, I gave it up. On the 4th day I start the computer and after about 15-20 minutes I look ..... and the "offline" icon in the tray has changed to "ready" just wait !!!! I give screenshots and settings of my configuration:
So in turn: 1. advise you to remove the printer software drivers, network settings for this connection, and more 2. in the wifi card software you create a profile according to mine (of course you give the profile name and ssid as you see fit), remember that there must be "autenthication - open" and encrypt - none " 3. in the properties of your wireless network in the properties of the tcp / ip internet protocol you want to be automatic (remember to turn off the firewall) 4. in the printer settings, set as shown on the scan above 5. you install the rudders for the printer and in the window, I don't remember exactly, but there will be 3 options to choose from, you choose the middle one where you can enter ip "advanced settings" or something like that. You enter the ip number there, as in the printer settings, i.e. 169.254.132.179
I did it and it works, I don't understand why, but it works, good luck
I signed up on purpose just to help with this configuration, because I was looking for myself and couldn't find the answer. it took me a while, but USB and WIFI printing works on a stationary as well as on 2 laptops.
Main (desktop) computer 1.Software installation (Mlf-pro) with 1 usb cable connection option. restart 2. in the printer in the network options in the "booth method" select "static" and then configure TCp / IP 3 We install Braadmin light 4 Wireless lan configuration -> after installation (ip goes to the printer from the computer) then via Braadmin light as he finds it, click ppm and network configuration -> network -> static should be if not, then in the printer menu we look and set it also In the "booth method" network options, select "static as if it wasn't there. 5. Install "only the printer driver (for the network) -ip we give the same as the printer during the installation (the printer ip can be printed through the report print option, network conf, or click on the network and tcp / ip and look at ip only and rewrite them
There is already WIFI
For other computers with access to the router
6. Install "only the driver for the printer (for the network) - ie repeat step 5 for other computers. The same ip should be given for the printer on each computer.
Hello I bought a DCP-J315W brother, I want to connect to the network at home, everything would be ok if I had all devices connected to the router via wifi, but it is a bit different, I already explain: the net reaches me to the router, I have a desktop computer connected via a cable to the router and the laptop is via wifi and now my brother connects to the router via wifi, but I can't install this printer on a stationary computer, do you have an idea? on the laptop, the printer works normally.
Hello . Maybe someone will tell me what I'm doing wrong. My connection to / dcp-j315w / is via ad-hoc ... the scanner via the laptop works but the printer is not listed in "Connections and faxes", the printer is not listed, but in the settings "properties: print server drivers are visible ... 2 day and sneezes ... When I know life, it's a trivial matter - unfortunately I can't surprise what the problem is ... When I install the same printer on the drivers for the usb cable, everything is fine ... lan.

Because your PC is not connected to the "lan" network, it is only connected to the router through the usb cable as you say.
Everything is fine, but when I have a configuration for one computer, the problem starts to appear when I want to allow another computer, there is an IP conflict and I do not want to connect for any treasures, I tried various ways to install the printer on the other laptop, but unfortunately it does not connect it via WiFi (yes as if the printer was syncing with only one hardware), and again via the USB cable, printing is out of the question. Maybe someone had such a problem and knows how to get around it?
So how do I get connected to the network so I can use this network printer?
I have just like you, that is router pc (win xp) laptop (win xp) wifi printer (dcp-j315w)
Router from PC via fire wire Printer via wifi with PC and laptop
First, reset the printer settings (mandatory firewall on the PC) All options are auto, i.e. in the itc \ ip settings and in the printer You install the printer normally and at some point it is possible to manually enter the printer's ip, so check the printer settings for its ip and enter it. For me, it detects it immediately and you will know it later.
And I'll get mad soon. I have followed all the steps you gave. WLAN Connection: OK Boot Method: Static IP given Drivers have Offline printer I want to print and here it pops up: printing failed (sent to the printer and the printer dead): [
Hello, I had the same problem with this printer model, all configured connection to the router is a report the printer prints that it is ok but printing via wifi is not a problem in the router, when configuring the router I set the region to Poland because I live in Poland, and here there was a problem after changing the region to the USA and restarting the router and restarting the printer settings and re-writing the ssid and password to the printer, the laptop detected the printer and the printer now prints via wifi, I have a tp-link TL-WR740N router, best regards.
I did as my friend said above "tech4u2" I allowed myself to copy your text but I will make a small change after which it worked ;)
Main (desktop) computer 1.Software installation (Mlf-pro) with 1 usb cable connection option. restart disconnect the usb cable 2. in the printer in the network options in the "booth method" select "static" and then TCp / IP configuration turn on wlan in the settings in the printer (the query itself will also pop up when selecting the wps / aos option after that I connected to the router through the wps option in the printer, go to menu> network >> wps / aoss on the router, for example, if I have a tp link, it holds the Qss button on the front and after a while the printer downloads the settings. we use this option when we have such a button on the router.
3 We install Braadmin light 4 Wireless lan configuration -> after installation (ip goes to the printer from the computer) then run the program, a query will appear whether to add to the exceptions in the firewall, click yes. then via Braadmin light, as we find it, click ppm and network configuration -> network -> static should be if not, check it, then in the printer menu we look and set the network options in the "booth method" and select "static as if it wasn't there. 5. if it does not work, I mean, I go to the control panel> devices and printers> right-click on our printer> printer properties> ports tab> add port> choose the tcp / ip standard> enter the ip as shown on the "Braadmin" program light "if it is, for example, 192.168.1.106 then we will type it! after correct typing, continue with the finish, the window will disappear and apply. it worked for me after these operations this is what my port looks like:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us 6. if someone else would not work, you can go to the control panel> devices and printers> right "see what is printed"> in the window, click the printer> uncheck the box "use the printer in offline mode"
to make it work on other computers: 7. Install "only the printer driver (for the network) -ip we give the same as the printer during the installation we install braadmin light. 8.we do the same as in step 5, i.e. add the port. if it doesn't work
9.we do what in point 6 and it should be ok. sometimes it can block the firewall and antivirus together, so it's worth temporarily disabling it. !!
I had exactly the same symptoms. The connection for me is as follows Komp router printer / scanner. Everything is connected wirelessly. The report said the printer was connected to the network but the computer had not seen it. She was always offline. In addition, when I connected the computer to the router via the cable, everything worked as it should, so actually connecting to the router, the printer had to be OK.
The solution was to change the settings of the AP (Access Point) router to off and the hardware immediately started flashing. Good luck.
Forgive me for the lack of Polish letters, but my keyboard doesn't have any.
Hello colleagues, and someone knows if I can find drivers for the Brother DCP J315W printer for Windows 98? Is it possible to solve this problem differently? Because I have configured the printer but I cannot connect it to the system because I do not have drivers attached to it on the board
I have a problem installing my printer. My laptop is connected to the router with a cable. I wanted to configure the printer to be served by wifi on my laptop. I have no idea how to go about it. In the manual, it writes about some SSID. Where can I find it?
What he wrote Krowus also works for Brother J515W printer
WORKS I TESTED !!!
Re: Brother DCP-J315W configuration with wifi
We check if this is what it is about:
1 Press "Menu" on the printer. Continue with "Print reports / WLAN report" and "OK". If the printed report shows "Connection K "and the status of" Offline "on the computer, go to point 2. If not, this method may not work (but it's worth trying).

3. Press "Menu" on the printer. Next "Network / TCP IP / Boot method" choose "Static".
4. Go to the Control Panel on the computer. We choose "Printers and Faxes". Right-click on our Brother we go to "Properties / Ports / Add port / Standard TCP IP Port / New port". A wizard will open. Click "Next", then enter the Printer's IP Number, which we found in point 2. Confirm.
5. A new one has appeared in the list of ports, it is selected by default. We choose "Configure Port" and in the "Protocol" section we choose "Raw". We confirm, we close.
6. From the control panel or My Computer, right-click on the scanner icon and enter "Properties / Network Settings". We select "Specify a device by address" and enter the IP found in the second point there. We confirm, close everything, restart the computer.
Easier and faster solution is to connect the printer to the router via wlan (as infrastructure). The same as you connect e.g. a laptop with wifi.
In the printer, in the network menu, you look for your Wifi network name (SSID), enter your wifi password and that's it (the router will assign the printer's IP address).
In the computer it is enough to install from the disc- "printer driver only (for network)" The installer will find the printer on our network and install the driver itself.
I join the topic. I have a problem with wi-fi on the j315w.
Router: ASUS RT-N12E My PC: Cable to the router
The printer is logged in correctly to the ASUS network (infrastructure). Shows max range etc.
The problem is that the computer sees the printer as "offline" all the time - I tried the methods above here, but I still get an error when I try to print.
In "Devices and Printers" I write "Done" and I checked "Use printer offline"
Ports set, IP found. And in Brother Status Monitor still only information about the correct IP address of the printer and "Offline" below
The discussion revolves around issues with connecting the Brother DCP-J315W printer to laptops via Wi-Fi. Users report that while the printer connects to the router, it often appears offline on their computers despite following setup instructions. Common troubleshooting steps include ensuring the printer is not set to offline mode, checking the boot method (recommended to be set to static), and verifying the IP address configuration. Some users found success by resetting network settings, adjusting router configurations (like disabling access point isolation), and ensuring the correct drivers are installed. Others experienced issues with specific operating systems, such as Windows Vista and Windows 10, and sought solutions for direct connections without a router. The conversation highlights various methods and configurations that resolved connectivity problems. Summary generated by the language model.
K "and the status of" Offline "on the computer, go to point 2. If not, this method may not work (but it's worth trying).
this is what my port looks like:
