D-Link DW-290 User Manual - Channel and Data Rate

A 

Channel and Data Rate 

Selection 

This section provides basic information for selecting fixed data rate and 

channel frequency in the NDIS driver. This becomes necessary if you want to 

test the D-Link Wireless Network mini PCI Card at a specific channel with the 

rate adaptation controls turned off. 

To select channel frequency and data rate in the Windows environment with 

NDIS driver installed: 

1.  Choose Start > Run, and type “regedit” to open Registry Editor. 

2.  For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, locate the following registry key, 

and select Find from the Edit menu: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ 

For Windows 98SE and Windows Me, locate the following registry key, 

and select Find from the Edit menu: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ 

3.  Type “clist” and click Find Next to find the registry key. Note that if you 

have multiple instances of the D-Link Wireless Network mini PCI Card 

installed, for example, the NDIS driver is installed more than once, then 

you will need to click Find Next to locate the current instance of the 

device that is in use.
