What you need for an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network

To connect the HP All-in-One to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you will need the following:

A wireless 802.11 network that includes a wireless router or access point.

A computer with either wireless networking support or a network interface card (NIC). The computer must be connected to the wireless network that you intend to install the HP All-in-One on.

Network name (SSID).

WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).

If you connect the HP All-in-One on a wireless network that has Internet access, HP recommends that you use a wireless router (access point or base station) that uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to your network. You can also use SecureEasySetup, if your wireless router or access point supports this feature. See the documentation that came with your wireless router or access point to find out if it supports using EasySetup and for additional setup instructions.
