Channel
– If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN (See
“Network Topologies” on page 41.), set the channel number to the
same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in
your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an
access point, then the channel is automatically set to the channel
of the access point to which the adapter connects.
Note:
The Channel can only be set when the Operating Mode is
“802.11 Ad-Hoc.”
SSID
– Input an SSID string for the wireless network to which you
want to connect (this setting is blank by default). If you will be
roaming among multiple access points with different BSSIDs, leave
this field blank to allow connection to any SSID.
Tx Rate
– Indicates the data transmission rate. Select an
appropriate transmission speed. Lower speeds will give better
range. See “SMC2662W 802.11b Wireless USB Adapter” on page
46. (Default: Auto)
