Here are a few Real Customer Reviews for the Brother HL-2170W monochrome laser printer:

This printer was the best value in small desktop lasers, after i conducted a recent search. I had been somewhat hesitant by some other comments on wireless setup, but found that reading the directions carefully, it was very easy to setup, and dealing within about Ten minutes. No problems whatsoever. My network isn't a "one button" setup network - we have a hidden SSID, use WPA2 with AES encryption, so I went with the "network cable" initial setup, then once configured, use it wireless. Installing paper drivers on the various machines in our house went great - each machine was printing within 3 minutes of putting in the installation CD.

So far, this is one of the easiest wireless products to increase the network, and top printing quality is great. I am impressed with Brother's documentation and software. Nice work. (R.Siegel)



Excellent price for a excellent printer...I was looking into their previous version (2070N) after i came across the wireless version, and chosen this one instead for a little more.

As for the wireless setup, it is VERY simple, and if you ARE some type of computer guy, you shouldn't even need to use the included CD for the install. I didn't use the included cd, fundamental essentials steps I popularized install the drivers and setup the wireless function of the printer... (fatal)
