Use this page to set the Mode, SSID, Channel and Country settings, and to view the
Link Quality indicator.
• Mode
Select the operating mode.
– Infrastructure - This is the default mode. It allows transmission and
receipt of data to and from an Access Point (AP) cell. It also enables
roaming between AP cells in the network.
– 801.11 Ad Hoc - This mode allows the formation of a local network
where adapters using a shared SSID communicate peer-to-peer without
going through Access Points.
• SSID
This is a unique case-sensitive name of up to 32 characters shared among all
devices sharing a common wireless network. You will be able to connect to
an Access Point with the same SSID.
When operating under the 801.11 Ad Hoc mode, the SSID must be the same
among stations so that computers can communicate properly within the LAN.
• Channel
Under the 801.11 Ad Hoc mode, the first station forms the 801.11 Ad Hoc
network by selecting the initial SSID and channel. Other stations will only
need to have the same SSID to join the network.
• Country
Select the country where you are. Different countries have different wireless
regulations.
• Rescan.
Tap this button to search the nearest Access Point.
• Radio On/Off:
Tap this button to turn your adapter's radio on or off.
