Thinking about setting up a wireless office network or maybe you want to support increasingly mobile employees.

What if I already have a wired network? |
|
|
If you already have a wired network, you do not need to replace it completely with a wireless one. Instead, you may choose to use wireless technology to expand it into conference rooms, ad-hoc work areas and new office floor areas. Learn more about how easy it is to extend your network in the solution guide "Adding wireless to a wired network".

Can I replace my wired network with a wireless one? |
|
|
Absolutely. You can make the move from wired to wireless gradually, replacing wires with access points and wireless-enabled computers in one section of your office at a time. If you are moving to a new office or reorganising your office layout, consider deploying wireless networking. HP Financial Services makes it easy to wirelessly network your entire office by offering a complete range of leasing and financing products. Learn more about going 100% wireless in the Setting up a wireless network solution guide.

How secure is my data when I’m using a public hotspot? |
|
|
Public hotspots (free or subscription based) are by no means as secure as your company's internal wireless network. You should be sure you are logged into your company's virtual private network (VPN) before you access or send confidential documents over a public hotspot's network. Usually, your company’s VPN encryption will keep preying eyes from reading any bits of data snagged out of thin air. If your company doesn't have a VPN and you use a web-based e-mail system like Yahoo or Hotmail to access confidential data in a hotspot, you may expose private information because your e-mail won't be encrypted. Consider refraining from checking web-based e-mail from a hotspot or work with your company to create a VPN for secure access.
