enter the SSID for your network.

Ad-Hoc Mode - Use this mode if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a
wireless router or access point.

case- sensitive and should be a unique name to help prevent others from entering your network.

on the other devices in your wireless network. If you are unsure about which channel to use, keep the default
setting.

Wireless-G devices can both operate on the network, though at a slower speed. In G-Only Mode , no Wireless-
