12.  Select “Desired SSID” and create the network name that matches the existing one or starting a 

new one. The SSID can have any value, but should have the same value as the Access Point. In 
Ad-Hoc mode, all clients should share the same SSID. 

 

SSID

   In infrastructure association, the stations will link to the AP with the same ESSID as they 

have.  

 

13. Select “Desired Tx Rate” and set up a  default value: The selections are “Auto”, “2M bps”, 

“5.5Mbps”, “11Mbps” or “ 22 Mbps”. The default is set to “Auto” so the device will perform auto 
fall back to justify the actual through put of the network.
