• Infrastructure—The WBPN is connected to the
wireless network through a wireless router or
access point (AP).
• Ad-hoc—The WBPN directly communicates with
other devices in the ad-hoc network. Each
device must be configured with the same SSID
and channel number in order to communicate
with other devices in the ad-hoc network.
The band that the WBPN is using to transmit wireless
data (2.4GHz for Wireless B, G, or N).
The service set identifier, or name, of the wireless
network to which the WBPN is connected.
The wireless channel on which the WBPN is connected.
Wireless encryption settings for the WBPN:
• None—Security is not enabled on your wireless
device. (Not recommended.)
• WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption.
(WEP is a weak form of encryption and is not
recommended.)
• WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK—Wi-Fi Protected
Access/pre-shared key encryption. Either of
these encryption types is more secure than WEP
and is recommended instead of WEP.
