802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter User Guide
profile with the necessary connection information for the appropriate wireless network and then
selecting this profile. Refer to the
section in this User Guide for more information about
creating a profile.
The first column is the
SSID
(Network Name)
column, which lists the SSID, or Network Name, for
each available wireless network that does not have SSID Broadcast disabled. If an SSID is not
listed, that means SSID Broadcast is disabled for that device and you will need to know specific
security information to connect to it.
The second column is the
MAC Address
column. This is a list of the MAC addresses of each
available wireless network.
Next to the MAC Address list is the
Channel
column. This lets you know what channel each
wireless network is operating on. The 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter is compatible with both
802.11g products and the earlier 802.11b versions.
The next column is the
Encryption
column. If a wireless network has encryption enabled, you will
see a gold key on the network line. The only way to connect to a network that has encryption
enabled is to create a Profile using the specific security information for that network.
Next to this column is the
Signal
column. This provides a percentage indicator of how strongly
you are receiving the signal from each wireless network to which you can connect.
The last column is the
Network Type
column. You will see one of two icons in this column
indicating if the network is in Infrastructure mode or in Ad Hoc mode. If it is an Infrastructure
network, you will see an icon representing a wireless router or access point. If it is an Ad Hoc
network, you will see an icon representing a wireless adapter.
If you attempt to connect to a network that has security settings enabled, you will need to
and supply the necessary information. Refer to your wireless router's or access point's
documentation for instructions on how to locate the necessary security information. Some
examples of security information you may need are the SSID, the Authentication Mode, and the
Encryption Level.
