Your WLAN device should be listed here. The WLAN device may include the term wireless, wireless LAN, or 802.11.

Using wireless security features When you set up a home WLAN or access an existing public WLAN, always enable security features to protect the network from unauthorized access. The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal (WPA-Personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). When setting up a network, HP recommends that you use one or more of the following security measures: Enable WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router. Change the default network name (SSID) and password. Set up a firewall. Set security on your Web browser.
