Network Mode —Click Access Point (Infrastructure) to associate with an
access point. Click Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer) to associate in ad hoc mode.
■
Wireless LAN Service Area —Click Attach to any WLAN Service Area (ESSID)
automatically to allow the bridge to associate with any access point that is also
set to use any ESSID. In this mode, the bridge detects access points set for any
ESSID and uses the ESSID of the access point with the best signal strength. This
mode is not available when the network mode is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer).
Click Specify the Wireless LAN Service Area and type the WLAN service area
name to allow the bridge to associate only with access points with the same
service area. You must specify the WLAN service area when the network mode
is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer).
To maintain wireless association, the WLAN service area on a bridge and the
access point with which it is associated must match exactly. Therefore, if you
change the access point WLAN service area, make sure to change the bridge
WLAN service area also.

To allow the device to find a channel automatically, click On (automatically
select the best channel) .
To select a specific channel, click Off (specify the channel) and choose a
channel from the Channel list. This option can be used only when the network
mode is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer).

mode is Access Point (Infrastructure) and should only be used when access
points are set with privacy enabled. Click O

privacy mode disabled. When privacy mode is on, you must specify a Wireless
LAN Service Area, which must match the access point service area exactly.
