Channel – This is the radio channel through which the access
point communicates to PCs in its BSS (Default: 11). A Basic
Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PCs and an
access point that is directly connected to the wired LAN. To
establish an ad hoc network, make sure the Channel is set 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, the adapter will automatically use the same
channel as that used by the access point.
Note: The available channel settings are limited by local
regulations that determine the number of channels that
are available.
•
FCC: 11 channels
•
MKK: 14 channels

to connect. (Default: ANY)
Throughput – Shows the total number of data packets
transmitted and received.
