Integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network setup
For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use
a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the HP Photosmart and the other
network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or
access point, this is called an infrastructure network.
The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network
include:
• Advanced network security
• Enhanced reliability
• Network flexibility
• Better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode
• Shared Broadband Internet access
To set up the HP Photosmart on an
integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network,
you need to do the following:
First, collect all of the required materials.
Next, connect the HP Photosmart to the
wireless router, and run the Wireless Setup
Wizard.
Finally, install the software.
