Connect to a wireless network

 

without an access point

Use this chapter if you want to connect your HP all-in-one to a computer on a wireless network without using an access point. This is sometimes called a peer-to-peeror ad hoc network. On Macintosh networks, this is called a computer-to-computernetwork.

Note This type of connection is available if you do not have an access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower network performance than with an access point. In addition, you will likely not have shared broadband access (such as cable or DSL), and therefore not be able to use the HP Instant Share feature on your HP all-in-one. For information on connecting your HP all-in-one using an access point, see Connect to a wireless network with an access point.

To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, see the next section for the things you will need. Then follow the steps in the remaining sections to do the following:

●prepare your computer

●create a wireless network profile on your computer

●connect the HP all-in-one to the wireless network

When finished, install the software as described in Install the software.

Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.
