SSID – The Service Set ID (SSID) string for the wireless network
to which you want to connect. To roam among multiple access
points, set the SSID to ANY to allow connection to any access
point within the signal range. (Default setting: ANY)
Channel – If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless network, set
the channel number to the same radio channel as that used by
the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are
connecting to a network via an access point, then the channel is
automatically set by the access point to the channel that it uses.
(See "Network Topologies" on page 25.)
You only need to manually set the channel when the Operating
Mode is 802.11 Ad Hoc.
Note:
Transmit Rate – Indicates the data transmission rate. Select an
appropriate speed from the pull-down menu. Lower settings may
improve throughput in environments hostile to radio transmission.
(Default: Auto)
Operating Mode – Set the adapter's operating mode to 802.11
Ad Hoc for network configurations that do not have an access
point, or to Infrastructure for connections with an access point.
(Default: Infrastructure)
Tx Power – Move the slider bar up and down to increase or
reduce the transmission power.
