the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
Wireless Mode: Specifies 2.4 GHz 300 Mbps, 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps or 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps
operation in an access point network. The Wireless adapter must match the wireless mode
of the access point with which it associates.
Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network: Specifies 2.4 GHz 300/54/11 Mbps
to start an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after scanning all
available modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel that the Wireless
Adapter uses. The channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter
finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with
will be selected automatically. The Adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of
the clients it associates.
802.11 Authentication Mode: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate to an
access point:
•
Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it
to open authentication if shared fails.
•
Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP
settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the
adapter and the access point match.
•
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the
same WEP key.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred APs... to specify up to four access
points for the client adapter. Enter the MAC Addresses for the preferred access points. The four
access points have different priorities; the frontal has the higher priority.
