Choose a network type

The kind of network you have, or the one you plan to set up, will determine how you connect your HP all-in-one to the network. If you already have a functioning network, and you know the kind of connection you want to use, you can go on to the next section and choose a connection type. However, for ideas on setting up your network, please see Choose a recommended wireless network and Choose a recommended Ethernet network.

Choose a connection type

There are two types of wireless network connections and one Ethernet (wired) network connection that you can use for your HP all-in-one. Each of these is described briefly below.

Wireless connection with an access point (infrastructure)

An infrastructure wireless network uses an access point (also known as a wireless router) that provides a secure and flexible connection for your HP all-in-one. For information, see Connect to a wireless network with an access point.
