To communicate on the network all devices must have the
same settings for the following properties:
SSID -

Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is
default
.
Wireless Mode

Infrastructure
- connecting the WLAN using an Access Point. (The
default
setting.)
Ad-Hoc –
wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped
with a wireless adapter in a peer-to-peer environment.
Channel –
The
default
channel setting is channel
6
. However, the DWL-G650+ will
automatically select the channel to match the channel setting for the selected Access
Point. In Ad Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same channel for
each wireless adapter.

Auto

is the default setting. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC
block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and the wireless
Network adapters.
Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble
type.
