I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers and entering the printer's IP address in the router to allow it. ARGH!!

I can't find anything in the Brother manual that says I have to activate the port or anything but it did have a plastic cover on it.

Any ideas?

Assuming you have your computers set up to "obtain ip address automatically" there shouldn't be much needed in the way of configuration. If the dhcp server is enabled on the fios router/modem your computers should be able to get an ip address without your having to do anything further.

To login to the fios modem at »192.168.1.1 (not »192.168.2.1 as with the usr)

The default login should be username admin and password for the password.

If you don't have a manual for your fios product you should be able to find one here:

If you have any problems post back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-help-setting-up-wired-network-printer-28808443 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 02:36:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-help-setting-up-wired-network-printer-28808299
Then set up the printer according to the manual.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-help-setting-up-wired-network-printer-28808299 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 00:08:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/help-setting-up-wired-network-printer-28807682
I've been running my new Brother HL-2270DW through the print server in my USR5461 router but that's been wonky lately (works perfectly when direct connected) so I'm just giving up on the print server part. My printer has an RJ45 port, but little instruction (the wireless set-up is 30+ pages long, wired is one page). I do not want to connect it wirelessly.

My router currently has all 4 LAN ports in use, one LAN connects to the modem (Verizon FIOS Model MI424WR Rev. 1) but the WAN port is unused. Yes, I know the modem is also a router; I used my router initially because my old printer was, well, OLD and I needed the print server :)

I've never used the verizon modem as a router and I'm fine taking the USR5461 out of the chain now that my printer doesn't need it.

So, I need to know how to set everything up, diagrams are nice too :D

Three wired computers, two wireless devices, one printer. I'll need to be able to get into the verizon modem's control panel to set up the wireless too. Login username? I have the password from the sticker.

Thanks!
