To create a new network profile

Note The HP All-in-One comes configured with a network profile with hpsetup as the SSID. However, for security and privacy HP recommends you create a new network profile on your computer as described here, and then run the Wireless Setup Wizard to detect the new network.

1.Make sure that your AirPort is turned on.

When AirPort is turned on, the following icon appears in the menu bar (Show AirPort must be selected in the menu bar).

To check this, click on the AirPort icon.

If Turn Airport On is available, select it to turn on AirPort. If the AirPort icon is not present, do the following:

a.On the Network Preferences screen, select Airport Panel.

b.Enable Allow the computer to create networks.

c.Enable Show Airport status in menu bar.

2.Click the AirPort icon.

3.Select Create Network….

4.On the Computer to Computer dialog, click in the Name box and enter a new network name.

For example you can type the name Mynetwork (or something more meaningful, such as your initials).

Note Notice that the M in Mynetwork is uppercase (capital), and the rest of the letters are lowercase (small). This is important to remember in case you need to enter the SSID at a later time on the Wireless Setup Wizard.

5.In the Channel box, use the default Automatic setting.

6.Click Show Options.

7.To enable encryption for security, select the Encryption check box.

8.In the Password box, type a password that has exactly 5 or exactly 13 alphanumeric (ASCII) characters. For example, if you enter 5 characters, you might enter ABCDE or 12345. Or, if you enter 13 characters, you might enter ABCDEF1234567.

Alternatively, you can use HEX (hexadecimal) characters for the password. A HEX password must be 10 characters for 40 bit encryption, or 26 characters for 128 bit encryption.

9.In the Confirm box, type the same password.

10.Write down your password, which on your HP All-in-One is called a WEP key. You will need your WEP key when run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

11.Click OK.

12.Go to the HP All-in-One and use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect your HP All- in-One to the wireless network.
