HPNetworkAssistant

What is HPNetworkAssistant?

HP provides a downloadable Network Assistant that discovers your router and the wireless device in your PC and automatically sets up a secure wireless network in minutes.

About  (from Hewlett-Packard)

Since the HP Network Assistant is a Web-based application, you must use an ethernet cable to establish a good Internet connection from your PC through a router and a modem to your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
