Short & Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the
802.11b frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports
and uses them. Set to Long Only to override allowing short frames.
Wireless Mode - Specifies 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps, 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps, or Super G 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 Super G or 2.4 GHz 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 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 wireless adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of
the clients it associates.
802.11 Authentication Mode - Select which mode the wireless 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 to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points.
