Hi, since the MFC-8680dn is not a wireless printer, you would need a wireless print server, such as the TP-Link TL-WPS510U 150Mbps Wireless Print Server, in order to give your printer wireless capability. If your printer is close to your wireless router, you could attach it to your wireless network via an Ethernet cable, but otherwise a wireless print server can allow your printer to function wirelessly.
