In theory, pretty much any wireless router will work with an HP computer (provided it is not a very old model). However, which router is right for your needs and your computer depends on many different things. Choosing the right router can also be very confusing and difficult. Look on any website or brochure at wireless routers, and you'll find a whole host of acronyms and apparently meaningless words that even hardened techies can find difficult to decipher.
If you're buying a router for home use with your HP computer, then the most important thing to remember is to match your router with your computer. That is, there is little point in buying a router that has more capability than your PC can handle. The most recent standard for wireless routers for home use is 802.11n: this indicates the speed of the router. Look out for this when choosing your router, and you know you'll be getting the best that's currently available. However, bear in mind that unless the wireless radio inside your computer also has a rating of 802.11n, then your router will run under-capacity. That's not necessarily a problem, but it might be worth either upgrading your PC, or thinking about getting a slower router that won't lead to wasted capacity and will be cheaper. Before buying any router to use at home, check whether it will be compatible with your network. It's not always possible to buy and use your own router, as some internet service providers l ock their network to prevent their customers using anything but the routers they provide.
If you're buying for business use, then there are more things to think about. For business, it is worth considering getting an HP router if you are using HP computers. While it's not necessary in order for the router to work, it is often easier to use a router that is the same make as your computers. Doing this could make servicing your equipment easier, and if you have problems, then there will only be one company to deal with. HP make a range of wireless routers aimed at business called the 'ProCurve' range, as well as a full range of other wireless networking products for business, including wireless access points and switches. These HP routers will allow you to create a reliable network on which your business, and your staff, can rely.
