Ad-hoc mode
Wireless LAN stations communicate each other without an AP in this mode. Therefore,
you can easily make this network. It is suitable for the situation when there is no
wired LAN requirement on a small-scale network. Usually, it is called peer-to-peer
mode.

2.1.2 Key terms
SSID(Service Set Identifier)
It is a name to identify the particular wireless LAN. So every single station should
have the same SSID to communicate in the network. In the case of infrastructure
mode, you have to set the same SSID with the AP to CSW-M85. Otherwise, it won’t
communicate at all. The maximum length of this parameter is 31 bytes and the
default is “sollae”.
Channel
IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN stations communicate through the ISM (Industrial,
Scientific, and Medical) band which has the range of frequencies around 2.4GHz. IEEE
802.11 specification divides this band into 14 channels every 5MHz. If you install
more than one wireless network in the same area, the channels should be apart more
than 4 channels to avoid interferences.
