|
| Auto/1/2/5.5/11/6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps for you to select. | |

| suitable transmission rate automatically. The higher data rate | |
| you designated in the network, the shorter distance is allowed | |
| between the adapter and the wireless stations. | |

| checking the consistency of channel and SSID with the | |
| wireless station. | |
