1. Check the Basic Service Set ID (BSSID). When there is a link,
the current BSSID of the Access Point is shown in the BSSID
field on the Link Page. When the adapter is disconnected from
the Access Point, a “Non-associated” entry appears in the
BSSID field. To view the BSSID from your Toshiba Pocket PC
e830, tap Start, Settings, System, Wireless LAN Manager,
then Link.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adapter
can hear the Access Point. If the quality is poor, it is better to
rescan and find a better performing Access Point or re-arrange
the Access Point’s position for better performance. To view the
Link Quality from your Toshiba Pocket PC e830, tap Start, Set-
tings, System, Wireless LAN Manager, then Link.
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 sta-
tions to enable the wireless communication within the local area net-
work.

B5. What is the difference between “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad
Hoc” Network Mode?
How do I choose?
B6. Could I use the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode to access the LAN
resources? How can I access the LAN resource without an
Access Point?
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the
first 802.11 Ad Hoc station. If other stations want to join
the same SSID group, you must 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 is automatically set as the chan-
nel number of the network
