NOTE: An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have a wireless router or

access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and

slower network performance than with a wireless router or access point.

In order to connect the HP All-in-One to your computer (ad hoc), you need to create an

ad hoc network profile on your computer. This includes choosing a network name (SSID)

and WEP security (optional but recommended) for your ad hoc network.

To set up the HP All-in-One on a wireless ad

hoc network, you need to do the following:

See this section:

First, collect all of the required materials. “What you need for an ad hoc network”

on page 11

Next, prepare your computer by creating a

network profile.

“Create a network profile for a Windows XP

computer” on page 11
