Hi,
If you are sure that the model number is a Brother MFC 7340 then you’re out of luck as it doesn’t have a network option.
Brother network enabled printers have a N or W at the end of the model number.
You’ll notice on the cover page of the user guide for your model that there is no letter after your model number.
Here’s an image taken from the user guide which shows the network specifications for the models listed in the guide. Yours is not there.

Ok thanks i thought i could run the network through my computer but i guess not
Hi,
If your router has a USB connection and the right options, you could connect the printer to the router and use it that way.
Here's some information on doing it that way.
Alternatively if the printer is connected to a Windows PC you can turn the PC into a print server.
I don't know Mac so the option may be there for them as well if your printer is connected to a Mac.
There may be more online this was just a quick search ;-)

Normally, people get the brother printer not connecting to wifi problem due to the network settings or router settings issue. here are the steps to fix the problem.
- Reset the network name and password, and then retry to connect to wifi.
- Update the printer firmware and try to connect your printer again to the wifi.
- Turn off the router, and reset the computer and modem, and power them back on and try to connect your printer now.
- Reset the network settings, and then reconnect your printer to the wifi network.
