Review on Brother HL-L5200DW Monochrome Laser Printer with Wireless Networking, Mobile & Duplex Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready by Ryan Calabro

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Reliable wireless printer ever

Surprisingly, there aren't many wireless LASER printers in 2016. Of the available models, wireless connection issues are the main complaints. Great, the only thing you want to do is not very good. Brother wireless laser printers are no different. This is one of their new models and after 2 weeks of heavy use it seems fine. Brother laser printers are generally reliable workhorses. This one seems no different. You can connect it via USB 2 (not 3 in 2016?) if you have wireless connection issues. Setup is fairly easy, but I recommend ignoring the CD and checking the Brother website for the latest software and firmware update tool. Everything is pretty easy except setting up the wireless network is a bit clunky. If it asks you for your WiFi router's "network key" and shows you where to find it on your router, that's all nonsense. Just use your password and you're good to go. Hey bro, it might be worth changing the setup language so I can get it done in 3 minutes instead of 15 because I had to google what the hell my Apple AirPort Extreme network key is in relation to setting up a wireless printer Brother means! A guy said just use your password. BINGO!

Pros
