Brother HL-L2350DW and WiFi

I bought a new Brother HL-L2350DW because my old Brother printer was needing a new drum and had some other minor issues. It served me well for many years. However, I noticed with the HL-L2350DW that after it went to sleep, it wouldn't wake up to print. Hitting buttons, opening and closing the lid on it, etc. didn't help. After a little Googling I found a culprit. I had to change a setting on my router (Asus RT-86U). It's under Wireless->Professional. I had to switch "Airtime Fairness" to "Disable." Thankfully it just has to be on the 2.4Ghz channel so it shouldn't be a big deal to my network (hopefully).

Now if I could just figure out how to get my Chromebook to work with it without using Google Cloud Print . . .
