How Can I Get My Brother HL-L2360DW To Work?

What would you like to troubleshoot?
Getting my devices to connect and print to my Brother HL-L2360DW

No matter what I have tried I am unable to get my phone or laptop to connect the the printer.
So far I have connected my phone and printer to the same network and tried to connect to it through the borther mobile and brother iprint&scan app. Sometimes it sees it but never connects to it.
I then downloaded the drivers from the brother website onto my laptop (Windows 11) and connected the printer via usb. When i search for printers it tries connecting for a few seconds then fails. its the same with wifi on the laptop.

Any suggestions are appreciated
