This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access points are
not used: This option should not be activated in a standard home
environment. Only if you indeed wish to create a wireless peer-to-peer
network do you need to activate this option.
Profile Name: Enter a recognizable name so you can identify different networks.
Network Name (SSID): Every wireless network broadcasts an identification name,
allowing wireless clients such as laptops, smartphones or tablet PCs to
see which network they are connecting to. You need to type in the exact
name of the wireless network you wish to connect to. If you connect to a
wireless network as explained in Section 1.2 , this step won’t be
necessary, as the utility will automatically fill in the correct value for you.
Channel: This option is only available when you activate the first option —
“computer-to-computer (ad hoc)” — and is used to assign a channel to
the wireless peer-to-peer connection.
Network Authentication: Wireless networks are typically protected to ensure that
only authorized users have access. There
are different ways to go about securing the
wireless network, and this adapter supports
pretty much all of them. You need to select
the correct authentication type for the
wireless network you’re trying to connect to.
If you don’t know the authentication type, check with the administrator or
owner of the network and ask for the security details. If you connect to a
wireless network as explained in Section 1.2 , this step won’t be necessary,
as the utility will automatically fill in the correct value for you.
