Here are a few Real Customer Reviews for the Brother HL-2170W monochrome laser printer:
The epson stylus nx625 was the best value in small desktop lasers, after i conducted a recent search. I was somewhat hesitant by some other comments on wireless setup, but discovered that reading the directions carefully, it was very easy to setup, and working within about 10 minutes. No problems whatsoever. My network is NOT a "one button" setup network - we have a hidden SSID, use WPA2 with AES encryption, and so i went with the "network cable" initial setup, then once configured, use it wireless. Installing the print 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 very good printer...I was considering their previous version (2070N) when I came across the wireless version, and chosen this one instead for any 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 make use of the included cd, these are the steps I popularized install the drivers and setup the wireless purpose of the printer... (fatal)
