5. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the
installation and operation of the USB adapter. Read the description below to
diffuse your doubts.
What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?
802.11g is the latest IEEE standard for high-speed WLAN communications
that provides up to 54Mbps data rate in the 2.4GHZ band. It has become the
mainstream technology of current WLAN networks. It uses OFDM
modulation to reach higher data transmission rate and backward compatible
with 802.11b
What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
The IEEE 802.11b WLAN standard subcommittee, which formulates a
standard for the industry. The objective is to enable WLAN hardware from
different manufacturers to interoperate.
What features does the IEEE 802.11 standard provide?
The product supports the following IEEE 802.11 functions:
‧
CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge protocol
‧
Multi-Channel Roaming
‧
Automatic Rate Selection
‧
RTS/CTS feature
‧
Fragmentation
‧
Power Management
What is Ad-hoc?
An Ad-hoc mode is a wireless network type in which a group of computers
equipped with wireless adapters are connected as an independent wireless
LAN without any access point. All computers operating in this mode must be
configured to share the same radio channel and SSID.
What is Infrastructure?
The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that
the former requires an Access point. The Infrastructure mode is appropriate
for enterprise-scale wireless access to a central database or provides various
wireless applications for mobile users.
What is BSS ID?
An Infrastructure network is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). All the
wireless stations in a BSS must share the same BSS ID.
What is TKIP?
It is another encryption method to overcome the inherent weaknesses of
WEP, a next generation of WEP. It adopts new algorithm (Michael) to
generate 128/192-bit encryption keys and provides per-packet key mixing, a
message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism.
What is AES?
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a chip-based encryption method of
26
