There is no wireless on LJ Pro M281fdn.  fdn stands for fax, duplex, network ( wired) 

 

For a printer to have wireless it needs to have a w in a name, for example, M281fdw has wireless.

 

You can connect M281fdn with LAN cable on your wireless router and then you will be able to use it because it will be on your local wireless network.
