Here are some Real Customer Reviews for the Brother HL-2170W monochrome laser printer:
This printer was the best value in small desktop lasers, when I conducted a recent search. I was somewhat hesitant by some other comments on wireless setup, but found that reading the directions carefully, it was very easy to setup, and working within about Ten minutes. No problems whatsoever. My network is NOT 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, utilize it wireless. Installing the print drivers on the various machines in our house went great - each machine was printing within 3 minutes of investing in the installation CD.
To date, this is one of the easiest wireless products to add to the network, and print quality is great. I am impressed with Brother's documentation and software. Nice work. (R.Siegel)
Very good price for a very good printer...I was considering their previous version (2070N) after i came across the wireless version, and opted for this one instead for any little more.
As for the wireless setup, it is VERY simple, and if you ARE a 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)
