Parameter	Description

Network Name	Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that
(SSID)	differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another.
	The SSID is also referred to as the network name. This is the name
	of the network to which the HP All-in-One is connected.

Signal Strength	The transmitting or return signal graded on a scale of 1 to 5:
(1-5)	●	5: Excellent

	●	4: Good
	●	3: Fair
	●	2: Poor
	●	1: Marginal
	● No signal: No signal detected on the network.
	● Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network
		type.

Channel	The channel number currently being used for wireless
	communication. This depends on the network in use, and might differ
	from the requested channel number. Value is from 1 to 14; countries/
	regions might limit the range of approved channels.
	● (number): Value ranging from 1 to 14, depending on country/
		region.
	● None: No channel is in use.
	● Not Applicable: The WLAN is disabled or this parameter does
		not apply to this network type.
	Note In ad hoc mode, if you are not able to receive or transmit data
	between your computer and the HP All-in-One, make sure that you
	are using the same communication channel on your computer and
	the HP All-in-One. In infrastructure mode, the channel is dictated by
	the access point.

Authentication	Type of authentication in use:
type	● None: No authentication in use.

	● Open System (ad hoc and infrastructure): No authentication
	● Shared Key: WEP key is required.
	● WPA-PSK(infrastructure only): WPA with Pre-Shared Key.
	● Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network
		type.
	Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting
	access to the network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users
	to access network resources. This security method is common on
	wireless networks.
	A network using Open System authentication does not screen
	network users based on their identities. Any wireless user can have
	access from the network. However, such a network might use WEP
	(Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption to provide a first level of
	security against casual eavesdroppers.
