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).
