EZ Connect™ N Draft 11n Wireless Cardbus Adapter
Channel — This is the radio channel through which the access point communicates
to stations within the same network. 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 available channels.
