❑
A wireless 802.11b/g/n network that includes a WPS-enabled wireless router or access point.
NOTE: This product will only support 2.4Ghz
❑
A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support. The computer must be connected to
the wireless network that you intend to install the HP Photosmart on.
NOTE: 1 If you have a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) router with a WPS push button, follow the Push Button
method. If you are not certain your router has a push button, follow the Wireless Settings Menu method.

the router and they are using no security encryption. In addition, WPS should not be used if WEP encryption
