Wireless LAN channel selection
When using Wireless LAN, radio frequencies are used to transmit data from one computer to another. Radio
frequencies are divided into several channels (1 to 14). But in France, you have to use channels 10 or 11
(indoors and outdoors).
Infrastructure network (with Access Point)
The channel is automatically set by the Access Point.
Ad-hoc network (Peer-to-Peer)
By default, the channel is set to 11.
If you are trying to communicate with a user who has set the channel between 1 and 10, you will need to
change the channel at your side.
To change the channel, proceed as follows:
1
Click Start, Settings and then Control Panel.
2
Double-click System.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
3
On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
The Device Manager window appears.
4
Double-click Network adapters.
The list of available network adapters appears.
5
Right-click LAN-Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter and select Properties.
The LAN-Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter Properties dialog box appears.
