channel.
Before adopting an ESS with roaming capability, choosing an available radio channel with less
interference is highly recommended. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear radio
channel will greatly enhance performance.
Ad-Hoc
Still complaining about the high price of wireless access points? This mode is the easiest and
cost-effective way to meet your requirements. It enables you to construct wireless networking in no time
without any access point.
Ad-hoc mode is a wireless network type in which a group of computers equipped with WL-U357 or other
wireless adapters are connected together to form an independent wireless LAN. All computers operating
in this mode must be configured to share the same radio channel.
In this scenario, new devices can be quickly added; however, wireless stations can only communicate
with the other peers that belong to the same IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set).
General Application
WL-U357 offers a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless access to the various network
scenarios:
1. Remote access to corporate network for information
E-mail, file transfer and terminal service.
2. Difficult-to-wire environments
