can't download software

I have had my printer for a month and I can't figure out how to connect wireless so I have not been able to download my software to use the fax and scanning features. I have called three time to the help desk and have not gotten a return call. Not sure where to go from here.

Great printer, but I ran into an issue during setup. The printer instructed me to choose my own device password to replace the default. I did it on the touchscreen, quite precariously as you can’t really tell what button you pressed, or see what you’ve typed. But I entered it again, so figured I must have gotten it right.
Later in trying to access all settings through the mobile app, and when updating firmware, at asked for my password (that id just created). I copied and pasted from my password manager app, but it didn’t work. Tried multiple times. Eventually had to reset the printer and go through the whole setup process again, pairing mobile devices, setting preferences, etc. What a pain!
After creating a new password a second time, it still doesn’t work in use! Beyond frustrating! Eventually I have the sense to type it in manually, and guess what? It works.
Brother, great printers, but two requests - don’t automatically blank out the text when entering passwords so we can see what we’re typing, and let us copy and paste. I feel like it’s 2010 manually entering a complex password every time I want to go into the advanced settings.
Works perfectly every time. I purchased an HP just a year ago, and it was simply ridiculous. 6 service calls, and it never resolved. They refused to honor warranty, etc. In the trash it went. However, the Brother is another story. Works every time, perfectly. Scan utility is perfect. No paper jams, ever. By and far superior to HP. Glad I found a solution!
The toner cartridges do not last as they are suppose to
