Set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated wireless (WLAN
802.11) network
The HP All-in-One uses an internal networking component that supports a wireless
network.
For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use
a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the product and the other network
elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access
point, this is called an infrastructure network.
