Ad Hoc Wireless Lan (No Access Point Or Bridge) - SMC Networks ElliteConnect 2.4GHz/5GHz Owner's Manual

Network Configuration
The 802.11b and 802.11g frequency band, which operates at
2.4 GHz, can easily encounter interference from other 2.4 GHz
devices, such as other 802.11b or g wireless devices, cordless
phones and microwave ovens. If you experience poor wireless
LAN performance, try the following measures:
•
Limit any possible sources of radio interference within the
service area
•
Increase the distance between neighboring access points
•
Increase the channel separation of neighboring access points
(e.g., up to 3 channels of separation for 802.11b or up to 5
channels for 802.11g)

Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no Access Point or Bridge)

An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each
equipped with a wireless adapter, connected through radio
signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific
ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same
radio channel.
