Channel
– This is the radio channel through which the access
point communicates to stations within the same network. A Basic
Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PCs and an
access point that is directly connected to the wired LAN. To
establish an Ad Hoc network, make sure the Channel is set to the
same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in
your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an
access point, the adapter will automatically use the same channel
as that used by the access point.
The available channel settings are limited by local regulations that
determine the number of available channels.
