The WPA or WEP key requested by your HP ENVY 4500 printer is the password or security key for your wireless router. This key is needed to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network. You can find this key on your wireless router itself, often on a label, or by logging into your router’s web interface and checking the Wireless Security settings[2][4].
For the HP ENVY 4500 specifically, the printer supports wireless connections on 2.4 GHz networks and allows setup through methods like Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) if your router supports it, which can simplify connection without needing to manually enter the WPA or WEP key[1].
If you need to enter it manually, use the exact Wi-Fi security key as configured on your router. This key is sometimes labeled as WPA passphrase, WPA key, WEP key, or wireless password. Without this key, the printer cannot join the wireless network.
In summary:
– The WPA/WEP key is your Wi-Fi network password.
– Check your router label or router settings (accessed via a browser by entering the router IP) to find this key.
– Use this key during the HP ENVY 4500 wireless setup when prompted[1][2][4].
– You can use WPS if available for easier connection without manually entering the key[1].
This ensures your printer connects securely to your wireless network.
