When playing Head-to-Head:

Set both Game Adapters to the same chan- nel, 1-11.

When playing over the Internet: Set the Game Adapter to IN when using a simple wireless network with no WEP encryption settings and SSID enabled.

Note: If your wireless network uses WEP encryption and/or has SSID disabled, the Game Adapter should be configured with its Setup Wizard to use one of the three available profiles. Profiles show up on the LED display as “P1”, “P2”, or “P3”. Once the Game Adapter is configured with its Setup Wizard, select the appropriate profile from the LED display. This is explained further in “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-B Game Adapter with the Setup Wizard”.
