Rating: 5/5Will Do Wifi & LAN at the same time
Pros: One reviewer said you can't use the Wifi and LAN at the same time.
It is true the printer joins the LAN either through Wifi or Ethernet cable but not both at the same time.
Once the printer is on the network through Wifi you just plug your desktop into the router and you can print/scan etc.
All of my laptops use Wifi and my desktop plugs into the router. My Android phone can print and scan through Wifi also with the Brother App.
If your router only has one ethernet port use a switch to add more ports for more computers.
That is, plug the single ethernet port from the router into a switch and then plug the computers into the switch.
If you have no Wifi devices and a plain old wired ethernet router plug the printers LAN port into the router and then plug the computers into the router.
CobraCommander's tech knowledge is listed as high. This is simple networking.
Cons: NO CONS
Other Thoughts: Install the drivers on any computer you plan to print/scan from.

Rating: 5/5SOLID BUY
Pros: Huge improvement over the Samsung monochrome laser I had before this. No fax capabilities which is nice if you're never going to use it like me. I'm 7 months in with mine and no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend.
Cons: Must be too popular to go on sale very often or I'd have snagged another to give as a gift by now!

Rating: 5/5Solid printer!
Pros: This is my first Brother printer and I have to say that I am very impressed!
Fast and easy setup No mess toner Quick warmup before print Wifi/LAN support Built-in webpage for management Very quiet during and after print Very quick copies
Cons: Not many cons to list, but I was disappointed by one in particular.
Can't use Wifi and LAN connection at the same time, which means you're forced to make it a Wifi OR LAN ONLY printer. Really, really sucks because I have multiple laptops using Wifi and several PC's that use LAN.
Not a deal breaker by any means for me (just had to keep my wireless ink jet around for my wife LOL), but people should be aware of that if they are looking to consolidate or use this printer as the Main printer.
Other Thoughts: Well worth the price. Just be mindful of the Wifi/LAN restriction.

Rating: 4/5Brother HL-2280DW MFC all inwone
Pros: It scans, it prints, it's wireless and laser. NO more inkjet headaches. It does both WEP And WAP. You can scan into Word or Photoshop without Brother Software. Standing photo copier. Wireless range is fine though out house. Fast and pretty quiet. Bought is onsale for 99. Arrived in good shape.
Cons: I fought with the software for 4 days. (XP with Trendnet router) Kept getting Nuance Port errors. It left bloated 1gig+ files on desktop. I deducted star for hastle. Its fairly large and won't fit on average shelf. Needs a stand.
Other Thoughts: After fighting with software and deleting it, went to brother and downloaded the drivers and network wizard (14mgs) Installed in a couple of minutes. Works fine with outside programs. Can scan color into computer. Only prints Monochrome. Prints from desktop, laptop and netbook. Pretty average print quality.

Rating: 5/5great printer
Pros: This printer was a snap to set up. Just put in the disk and it found my printer hooked up to my wired network. Fast print speeds.
Cons: The lid on the scanner feels a little light and weak. If you put a book on the scanner you might have to hold on to it to keep it in place. This printer may print a 27 ppm when printing on one side, but when you print on both sides, it feels more like about 5 ppm.
Other Thoughts: Still a great printer for the money. This is the second brother laser printer I have owned. Never had a problem with either one. yes I would recommend this printer to anyone.

Rating: 5/5Awesome!
Pros: Wireless printing, Smartphone printing, Duplex laser printing, scanner and copier...What more do you want??
Cons: Doesn't have a feeder tray to copy multiple pages at once.
Other Thoughts: You can't go wrong with a monochrome laser printer if you print a lot and don't care about color. It's the best value for your money and the most efficient option!

Rating: 5/5Outstanding!
Pros: Fast printing, great form factor, easy to use, backlit display, simple navigation, quiet, DUPLEX. Apps for iOS, reliable windows software, PAPER TRAY!!!!!
Cons: When I initially got it, the printer wouldn't print due to an error. I forgot the error number, but 24 hours after I got the printer it started to work.
Found out the error was because of condensation built on the mirrors, being winter outside, the printer was in the snow for 5 hours before I got home.
Not the manufacturers or newegg's fault, but just want you guys to know if you do buy it and it doesn't work initially :)
Other Thoughts: I love this printer! Being a college student, I take notes on iPad and like to print off my papers and reports from them, and Brother has software to do so.
The duplex feature is great, It has a paper tray to protect the paper.
LOVE THIS PRINTER AND I LOVE NEWEGG!!! Got it for $99.00 on BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL!!!!
THANKS!!!
