Wireless ad hoc network setup
Use this section if you want to connect your HP All-in-One to a computer on a wireless
network without using an access point. This is sometimes called a peer-to-peer or ad
hoc network. On a Mac, this is called a computer-to-computer network. You might
want to use an ad hoc connection if you do not want to invest in an access point, or
you want to set up a simpler, more casual network.
Note
An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have an access point.
However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower
network performance than with an access point. In addition, you will likely not
have shared broadband access (such as cable or DSL), and therefore not be
able to use the HP Instant Share feature on your HP All-in-One.
For information on connecting your HP All-in-One using an access point, see
.
In order to connect your HP All-in-One to your computer, you need to create a
network profile on your computer. A network profile is comprised of the network
settings, which includes the network name (SSID), the communication mode (ad hoc
or infrastructure), and whether encryption is enabled or not. For instructions on how to
create a network profile for an ad hoc connection, see the instructions below for your
operating system.
