1.
Check BSSID. When there is a link, the current Basic Service Set
ID of the Access Point been used will be shown in the BSSID
field in Link Page. When the adapter is disconnected with the
Access Point, “Non-associated” will appear in the BSSID field. To
view BSSID, from your Toshiba Pocket PC e800, click Start, Set-
tings, System, Wireless LAN Utility, then Link.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adapter
can hear the Access Point. If the quality is poor, it’s better to res-
can and find a better performance Access Point or re-arrange the
AP’s position for better performance. To view Link Quality, from
your Toshiba Pocket PC e800, click Start, Settings, System,
Wireless LAN Utility, Config.
B4: What is 802.11 Ad Hoc Network? What should I do to form an
802.11 Ad Hoc Network?
802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is used to create a peer-to-peer connection
without an Access Point. The SSID must be the same among stations
to enable the wireless communication within the local area network.

You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the first 802.11 Ad Hoc
station. For other stations want to join the same SSID group, you could
only choose the same SSID as the first station for connection. The
Channel setting for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network stations to join the existing
802.11 Ad Hoc Network will automatically be set as the channel number of
the network
