Buffalo Technology WLI-TX4-G54HP user manual Wireless Settings

Wireless Settings

MAC Address - By default, the Ethernet Converter transmits its own MAC address, but you may change this so that it transmits the MAC address of the first device plugged into it to transmit a data packet.

SSID - In the SSID field, enter the SSID name of the wireless network that the Ethernet Converter is to connect with. Use the same SSID as your router/access point. You may find available broadcasting SSIDs by pressing the Search button.

Wireless Network Type - Choose between Infrastructure (Access Point Based) or Ad-hoc(Client to Client).

Wireless Channel - The channel will be automatically selected in Infrastructure networks. For Ad-hoc networks, both clients must be set to the same channel.

Wireless Mode - The wireless mode only applies to Ad-hoc connections. If the Ethernet Converter is making an Ad-hoc connection with an 802.11b client, then select 802.11b from the drop down menu. If an 802.11g client is connecting to the Ethernet Converter then select the Auto-802.11g-802.11boption.

BSS Basic Rate Set - The basic rate set only applies to Ad-hoc connections. Select the proper rate set for the Ad-hoc client the Ethernet Converter is going to associate with. Older routers may require that you reduce the BSS Basic Rate set to Default(11b). If you are unsure of the correct setting, try Default.
