For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use
a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the HP All-in-One and the other
network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or
access point, this is called an infrastructure network.
The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network
include:
• Advanced network security
• Enhanced reliability
• Network flexibility
• Better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode
• Shared Broadband Internet access
To set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated
wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you need to
do the following: See this section:
First, collect all of the required materials. “What you need for an integrated wireless
