2-2-1-1 Scan for Other Wireless Devices

There are two kinds of wireless connection mode: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Infrastructure mode is used by wireless access points, which is able to establish wireless connection for you and other wireless / wired network clients.

Ad-Hoc mode is also know as ‘point-to-point’ mode, and in this mode, wireless devices such as computer or PDA will not be capable to establish wireless connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing a one-to-one wireless connection between two wireless devices.

Before you can connect to any wireless access point or device by infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode, there two things you must know:

a.Wireless device’s ‘SSID’ (Service Set IDentifier, someone will call it ‘access point’s name’).

You can scan for the SSID of other wireless devices nearby, but if the SSID of the wireless device you wish to connect is hidden, you must know exact SSID before you can establish connection with it.

b.If the wireless device you wish to connect uses encryption, you must know its encryption key.

Please launch Edimax setup utility and it will scan for wireless access points near by:
