WIFI MODE

This function sets the type of wireless connection that the MR-
HD100 uses.

• MANAGED

Managed mode is used when making a wireless connection to
a structured LAN where central access points are used and
devices are managed through the network.

• ADHOC Peer-To-Peer (P2P)

Ad-hoc mode is a method for connecting wireless devices
directly to each other. Successful implementation of Ad hoc
mode requires that:
• All wireless adapters must be configured for ad hoc mode.
• All ad hoc wireless adapters must use the same ESSID and

channel number.

• Only a small number of devices, within close range, can be

in the ad hoc network. As number of devices and range
increase, performance falls.

• All wireless devices within range must be able to discover

and communicate in peer-to-peer fashion without
employing central access points. This includes broadband

wireless routers that use central access points.

• Ad-hoc networks cannot bridge to wired LANs or to the

Internet without installing a special-purpose gateway.
