point-to-multipoint (PtMp) topology where as Adhoc is a point-to-point topology (PtP).
Wireless Network Name
: The SSID is a unique named shared amongst all the
points of the wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all points of the
wireless network and cannot exceed 32 characters.
Channel
: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available are
based on the country’s regulation. When selecting Infrastructure mode, a channel is
not required, however, when selecting Adhoc mode, you must select the same
channel on all points.
Transmission Rate
: Select a transmission rate from the drop-down list. It is
recommended to use the
Best (automatic)
option.
802.11 Mode
: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if
you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it
is recommended to select
802.11g
only instead of
Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b
which will reduce the performance of the wireless network.
