Connect to a wireless network

with an access point

Use this chapter if you want to use a wireless (802.11b or g) access point to connect

your HP all-in-one and the other network elements. When network elements are

connected through an access point, this is called infrastructure mode.

The benefits of using an access point include:

● advanced network security

● enhanced reliability

● network flexibility

● better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode

For ideas on ways you can set up a wireless network using an access point, see

Wireless connection networks.

For wireless setup without an access point, see Connect to a wireless network without

an access point.

Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.

To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, first see the next section for the things

you will need. When you are finished connecting your HP all-in-one, you will need to

install the software as described in Install the software.

What you need

To connect your HP all-in-one to a wireless network, you will need the following things:

● A wireless 802.11b or g network that includes a wireless access point. If you are a

Macintosh owner, Apple sells an easy-to-configure access point called AirPort.

AirPort has to be connected to a Macintosh, but it accepts signals from any

802.11b-compatible wireless network card, whether PC or Macintosh-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. For Macintosh, wireless

network support is usually offered by AirPort card. Most Apple computers have a
