Good value for money, I recommend it.

I would like to stay on Wai Fai, because. it was on him that I killed 2 hours of time (no printer took so much time, honestly). Firstly, it was not clear how to start the Wi-Fi setup through the setup utility from a PC, it turns out that I had to contrive to get this setup to start there, I had to select the item "Yes, I have a USB cable". Until I got to this point, I tried all the others, it seemed like it was logically possible to guess, but it was possible to somehow make the Wi-Fi installation wizard more understandable. Secondly, even if you found a list of Wi-Fi networks in your office (and we use two types of access points, eltex and tp-link), then do not rush to rejoice, for some reason, choosing the right point with the best signal, the printer will not be able to connect to it, no matter what you do - change the security settings at the point, remove the password, change the password to a digital one (we just have numbers) the printer will never connect to it (it turned out to be Tp-link Wi-Fi). And with each unsuccessful attempt to connect, for some reason it prints an error diagnostic page (it took me 20 pages for this whole procedure), in which it says that check the settings for accessing Wi-Fi at the MAC address (we really have such a thing in Wi-Fi points , but I added the printer's poppy to the access list and, moreover, created a separate SSID without this filter - it still didn't work). At the point I changed the security as you like, WPA, WPA2, aes, tkip - to no avail. And then I decided to connect to eltex, the signal which was weaker than the tp-link. Wow, I'm connected! I decided to compare what I had done in Eltex before, how it differs from the TP link in SSID security - nothing! also WPA2 and AES as in TP-Link!

So here's the Brader company's question - what's the problem, how do I configure the printer to any SSID? What kind of POOR wi-fi is this?

Pros

Have a web server Wi-Fi and network setup utility Printer and Cartridge Control Utility Small dimensions and weight

Cons

Drivers do not open on the official page, you need to look for a link to the software separately (it took extra time) However, when I tried to open the instruction on the page, it was also not found. A non-working instruction from the disk - a blank page just opens, like you need to allow the use of Java and so on - some kind of nonsense, I didn’t do this and waste my time. Why it was impossible to make one in PDF only God knows. Not an "omnivorous" wi-fi, it took an hour and a half or two to figure it out. Cut off Wi-Fi. Something creaks when printing, as if the cartridge is already old and refilled a couple of times (usually these produce similar sounds) It buzzes at rest and waiting, I don’t know what exactly the hum depends on, but after a while it stops, I think it’s when it goes into a “deep sleep” - I had to set it in the settings for 1 minute so that it doesn’t make noise (sitting next to such noise impossible, I haven’t seen this from other printers), he kind of heats up his oven to be ready for the next print (which, as it were, may not be, the strange logic of the control program)
