Wireless Client Manager

Common allows you to configure the basic wireless parameters:

The following fields are available:

Network Name (default: “speedtouch”)

Input an SSID string for the wireless network to which you want to connect. This should be set to the same value as the SSID of the access point or wireless router to which you are connected. Set this value to ANY to allow connection to any access point. This assumes that the access points are broadcasting the SSID. If not, then set the SSID to the value configured on the Access Point.

Operating Mode

Set the operation mode to:

802.11 ad hoc

To create a wireless network without access point.

Infrastructure

For connections with an access point.

Transmit Rate

Indicates the data transmission rate. Select an appropriate transmission speed.

Channel

If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN, set the channel to the same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an access point, then the channel is automatically set by the access point.

The Security ON/Security OFF button indicates whether the security function has been enabled or disabled:

By default wireless security is disabled.
