Connect the printer to a wireless only network
This section contains information about connecting the printer to a wireless only network. For
more information about wireless networking, see the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer Wireless
User Guide.
NOTE
The printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the same time. For
example, if the printer is set to a wired network, you cannot also connect it to a wireless
network.
NOTE
It is highly recommended that you implement a wireless security scheme (either Wired
Equivalent Privacy [WEP] or Wi-Fi protected access [WPA]) prior to setup. In addition, use
an antivirus program to protect against computer viruses, and follow basic security rules.
Other network components, including firewalls, intrusion-detection systems, and segmented
networks, should also be considered as part of the network design.
Networking information and components
Installing the printer to a wireless network requires networking information and networking
components.
Networking information
Obtain the following information from the system administrator or the person who installed
the network:
● The network's network name (SSID): the SSID identifies a particular wireless network. In
order to operate on a network, any connecting device must know the network name.
● The network's communication mode: either infrastructure or ad-hoc.
In infrastructure mode, the printer communicates with network computers through a
wireless access point (WAP) or a base station. The access point acts as a central hub or
gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices.
In ad-hoc mode, which is sometimes called peer-to-peer mode, the printer
communicates with the computer directly, rather than through a WAP or base station.
Each device on an ad-hoc network must have a wireless network adapter.
NOTE
For maximum performance, HP recommends connecting the printer to a network that
communicates using the infrastructure mode.
● The network's security settings (if used): WEP and the WEP key used, authentication
method (Open, Shared Key, or Pre Shared Key [PSK]), and Encryption (none, WEP, or
WPA).
