Peer to Peer -
This is the 802.11g peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11g Ad Hoc, only one
wireless “cell” is supported for each different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client
without the use of an Access Point. 802.11g Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID for
establishing the wireless connection.
Access Point -
This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11g / 802.11b Access
Point. All communication is done via the Access Point
,
which relays packets to other wireless
Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
Transmit Rate –
The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You may
set this to fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps, fixed 11 Mbps or Automatic for 802.11b’s
AP and fixed 6Mbps, fixed 9Mbps, fixed 12Mbps, fixed 18Mbps, fixed 24Mbps, fixed 36Mbps,
fixed 48Mbps, fixed 54Mbps or Automatic for 802.11g’s AP.
Encryption (WEP)
