Finish setup supports this feature. See the documentation that came with your wireless router or access point to find out if it supports using EasySetup and for additional setup instructions. 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 (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 Photosmart might accidently 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 Photosmart. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router.
