I have a new HP4500e printer and am trying to get a wireless connection.  The Printer immediately detects the router and show it's name on the screen.  I select it and then it asks:  WPA/WEP?  There is no information like this listed on the router ID.  Any ideas?? T^here is nothing in the instruction booklet that addresses this issue.

Thanks, I figured it out. Device was asking for the router password so I had to switch from the alphabet keyboard to the numerical keyboard. Once this was entered, the printer worked fine. The instructions weren't clear on this.

Hi,

 

The information should be in the router. How your other devices connect to the network ? You can logon to the wireles router or access point (AP) to check. It should be under Wireless Security option. By the way, what is your router ?

 

Regards.

What is WPA/WEP where can I find it?

HP Recommended

I am installing a 4630 e-All-in-One Series. It is now showing "EnterWPA/WEP". I have no idea what this means, and can't find any reference to this in the paperwork.

I thought that might have been the answer but wasn't sure! Thanks so much.
