Hi all,

I'm trying to add a printer to my wireless network. It's got a setup 
wizzard, so with sighted help, I've been able to set most things up. The 
part I'm having trouble with is the network password, but I'm starting 
to think the problem isn't the printer.

To add the printer to my network, I need to tell my printer to scan for 
networks, choose mine, then enter the network key. The printer is a 
Brother four-in-one (model MFC-7860DW). I'm able to find the network, 
but the device keeps rejecting my network key. I tried just typing the 
number, using the numberpad. Then I tried entering it as if I were 
entering numbers into a nine-key entry pad, pressing all digits four 
times except the 7 and 9, which I pressed four (and later five) times. 
the person helping me says the number doesn't display so she has no way 
of making sure it's the right number.

I'm entering the same key I've always  used to connect my various 
devices, most recently a laptop, which I added to my network about a 
month ago. Everything else is still on my network.

But when I went into my IP page and pressed enter on the password link, 
I couldn't log in. I tried both the network password and my regular log 
in password. When I press enter on Forgot Password, the computer tells 
me to check the label on my modem, and the number there is the same one 
I'm entering.

so my questions are these:

1. How can I check my password?

2. If anyone has this four-in-one, what's the best way to enter this 
password?

Thanks for any help.

ciao
