Wireless infrastructure network setup

For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use a wireless access point (802.11b or g) to connect your HP All-in-One and the other network elements. When network elements are connected through an access point, this is called an infrastructure network. A wireless network without an access point is called an ad hoc network.
