What you need for a wireless infrastructure network
To connect your HP All-in-One to a wireless network, you will need the following:
❑ A wireless 802.11b or g network that includes a wireless access point.
Note If you are a Mac owner, Apple sells an easy-to-configure access
point called AirPort. AirPort has to be connected to a Mac, but it accepts
signals from any 802.11b-compatible wireless network device whether PC
or Mac-based.
❑ A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a
network interface card (NIC). You can use either an Ethernet (wired) connection
or a wireless connection from the computer to the access point. If you want to use
an Ethernet connection to your access point, follow the directions in
Wired
network setup .
