3. Advanced Configuration
This screen allows you to do some advanced configuration including Power Save
Mode, Encryption Algorithm and some specific settings for the adapter.
Ad Hoc Default Channel
Select the number of the radio channel used for the Ad Hoc networking. The
channel of all the wireless stations in the Ad Hoc network should be the same. The
parameter is not active in the infrastructure operation mode.
Note: The Infrastructure operation mode requires the presence of an 802.11
Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point.
Encryption Algorithm
The parameter is only active in the Ad Hoc operation mode. There are three kinds
of encryption algorithm supported by the adapter including WEP, TKIP and AES.
WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users
against eavesdropping. WEP has been found that it has some security problems.
TKIP is a temporary quick-fix method defined in IEEE 802.11i standard to quickly
