Set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated wireless (WLAN 802.11) network

The HP All-in-One uses an internal networking component that supports a wireless network.

For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the product and the other network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access point, this is called an infrastructure network.
