Asus USB-N13 - Manual (Page 33)

Config - Basic
This page enables you to change the Network
adapter configurations.
Network Type
Infrastructure – Infrastructure means to establish
a connection with an access point. Once
connected, the access point allows you to access
wireless LAN and wired LAN (Ethernet). The
Channel field turns to Auto if the connection is
based on Infrastructure.
Ad Hoc – Ad Hoc means to communicate directly with other wireless clients without
using an access point. An “Ad Hoc” network can be setup quickly and easily without pre-
planning, for example, sharing meeting notes between attendants in a meeting room.
Network Name (SSID)
SSID stands for “Service Set Identifier”, which is a string used to identify a wireless
LAN. Use the SSID to connect with a known access point. You can enter a new SSID or
select one from the drop-down list box. If you get connected by designating the SSID,
you are only to connect the AP with the SSID you assigned. If the AP is removed
from the network, your Network adapter does not roam automatically to other APs.
SSIDs must all be printable characters and having a maximum of 32 case sensitive
characters, such as “ Wireless”.
Clear history of SSID settings
Channel
The Channel field is for setting radio channel. Your Network adapter can automatically
select the correct channel to communicate with a wireless device, and the parameter is
fixed to "Auto" in both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc mode.
The available radio channels depend on the regulations in your country. For the United
States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channel 1 to 11 are supported. For Europe (ETSI),
channel 1 to 13 are supported. For Japan (MKK), channel 1 to 14 are supported.
