designated in the network, the shorter distance is allowed

between the AP and the wireless clients.

rate is 11Mbps (11b) so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps”

options you can select.

Channel

wireless adapters connected to the AP should set up the same

channel.

name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional

merging of two co-located WLANs.

this adapter’s Mac Address) Wireless adapters connect to the AP

should set up the same SSID as the AP.
