point does not use encryption, “Disabled” will be
displayed here.
SSID Enter the SSID of the wireless access point you want to
connect to. It should be fewer than 32 alphanumerical
characters. When you select a wireless access point from
the Available Networks list, its SSID will be displayed in
this field automatically unless it’s hidden, in which case
you won’t be able to connect to it.
Channel When the network type is set to “Infrastructure,” the radio
channel is auto-selected according to the channel that
wireless AP uses. You can only select the channel
number when the network type is set to “Ad Hoc.”
Basic Rate Select the maximum wireless data transfer rate from 1
Mbps to 54 Mbps. The maximum transfer rate for 802.11b
wireless network is 11 Mbps, and the maximum transfer
rate for 802.11g wireless network is 54 Mbps. Under
normal conditions this value should be left at “Auto” as
there is normally very little reason for artificially slowing
down the connection speed.
Authentication When you select a wireless access point from the list of
available networks, it’s authentication type will be
selected automatically. You should not modify it or you
will not be able to connect to the wireless access point
correctly.
Available options are: None (no authentication), Open
System, Shared Key System, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
and WPANone (the last one is only for Adhoc).
Encryption Type Available options are: None, WEP, TKIP and AES. The
value is automatically filled out when you select the
wireless network from the list. It should not be modified.
WPA Pre-Shared
Key Enter the WPA pre-shared key here.This field is only
available when the authentication type is WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK. It will be grayed out when a different
authentication type is selected.
WEP Key Length Select the key length when you use WEP encryption.
Available options are 64-bit and 128-bit.
If the key length is 64-bit, you should input 10 HEX
characters or 5 ASCII characters, like 112233aabb (HEX)
or MYWEP (ASCII).
If the key length is 128-bit, you should input 26 HEX
characters or 13 ASCII characters, like
11223344556677889900abcdef (HEX) or
myweppassword (ASCII).
Note: Using WEP encryption is not advisable because
the level of security it provides is rather small. Programs
