English Also, the performance of the network might not be as good as an infrastructure network. The HP device is pre-configured by the factory to connect to an ad-hoc network with the SSID "hpsetup". NOTE: If you reset the network settings from the control panel at any point, the SSID will be reset to "hpsetup". Network name (SSID) The network name provides a basic connection to a wireless network. All devices trying to communicate with each other must have the same SSID and security settings. CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and a unique network name (Service set identifier (SSID)) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the HP device might accidentally connect to a different wireless network in your area which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access the HP device. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router. Security The HP Officejet/Officejet Pro supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security methods. For more information, see the electronic User Guide available on your computer after you install the software.
