Network Type
This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network “Modes”. The modes displayed will have two values:
“Peer to Peer” and “Access Point”.
Peer to Peer
This is the 802.11g peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11g Ad Hoc, only one wireless “cell” is supported for each
different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client without the use of an Access Point. 802.11g Ad Hoc
networking uses the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection.
Access Point
This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11g / 802.11b Access Point. All communication is done via
the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network such as
Ethernet.
Transmit Rate
The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You may set this to fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps,
fixed 5.5 Mbps, fixed 11 Mbps or Automatic for 802.11b’s AP and fixed 6Mbps, fixed 9Mbps, fixed 12Mbps, fixed
18Mbps, fixed 24Mbps, fixed 36Mbps, fixed 48Mbps, fixed 54Mbps or Automatic for 802.11g’s AP.
Encryption (WEP/WPA)
You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network, which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) or WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access- Pre Shared Key) encryption.
Note: WPA-PSK is more recent and offers a stronger encryption algorithm: it should be used
whenever possible over WEP.
