channel can be set manually. All computers using Ad-Hoc mode
(computer-to-computer) need to operate under the same channel.
(f) Client IP Address
Shows the IP address of the computer. The IP address is
obtained automatically by default. You may set the IP address
manually through Windows “Networking Properties”.
(g) Network Connection Type
Shows the current wireless mode the Card is operating in. There
are two operating modes: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Infrastructure
is the most common mode to operate in. Infrastructure mode is
used when connecting your PC to a wireless router (or a wireless
access point). Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect two or more
computers together without the use of a wireless router (or an
access point).
(h) Radio State
Shows whether the radio of your wireless client is enabled or disabled.
(i) Signal
Displays the strength of the wireless signal from 0 to 100%. The
closer to 100%, the better the signal strength is. The closer you
are to a wireless router (or access point), the stronger the signal
should be.
(j) Noise
Displays the amount of noise (interference) in the area from 0 to 100%.
The closer to 0%, the better the link quality is. Link quality differs
from signal strength by measuring the actual quality of the signal.
