I am answering my own question. I bought this model and files work great with wifi. But for SCANNING I hooked up a USB cord- printer to Apple laptop >system preferences >scan and print > scan > an error message came up AND a message from Apple also came up. It reads would I like to download an app to join with this printer > click accept > wait about 2 minutes for the download > try to scan a picture and it should work > remove the USB cord > try to scan again > everything should work fine with the wifi ( I set up the wifi with wizard setup previously). I am going to keep the USB cable as backup in case the wifi ever stops working. My laptop is an OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 So far everything works great.

Yes. The printer will automatically recognize your WiFi and all you have to do is enter your password.

No, the printer does require the CD installation disc.  You may be able to find the installation software on the Brothers official website.
