Infrastructure Mode radio button if you want your wireless computers to
network with computers on your wired network using a wireless access
point. Click the Ad-Hoc Mode radio button if you want multiple wireless
computers to network directly with each other.
In the SSID field, enter the
SSID of your wireless net-
work. The SSID must be
identical for all devices in the
network. The default setting
is linksys (all lowercase).
Click Next.
For added security, Linksys
recommends that you change
the default SSID to a unique D
name.
E. If you chose Infrastructure Mode, go to Step F now. If you chose Ad-Hoc
Mode, select a Channel from the list provided. All computers on your
wireless network must use the same channel in order to communicate with
each other. If you are unsure
about which channel to use,
select the default channel
(Channel 6). Then, select the
Network Mode: Mixed
Mode, which is for both
Wireless-G and Wireless-B,
or G-Only Mode, if there
will be no Wireless-B users.
Click Next and go to Step F.
