WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
To connect the HP Photosmart to a wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you will need the
following:
❑ 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.
NOTE: 2 WPS should not be used if the network uses the default network name set by the manufacturer of
the router and they are using no security encryption. In addition, WPS should not be used if WEP encryption
is used.
