HP C8100 What you need for an ad hoc network, Create a network profile for a Windows XP computer

Page 13

NOTE: An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have a wireless router or access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower network performance than with a wireless router or access point.

In order to connect the HP All-in-One to your computer (ad hoc), you need to create an ad hoc network profile on your computer. This includes choosing a network name (SSID) and WEP security (optional but recommended) for your ad hoc network.

To set up the HP All-in-One on a wireless ad hoc network, you need to do the following:

First, collect all of the required materials.

Next, prepare your computer by creating a network profile.

Next, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

Finally, install the software.
