Under the Network Type, you may choose either Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc. Infrastructure mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired network that employs an access point, while the Ad-Hocmode allows wire-
less-to-wireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the SSID should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all clients should share the same SSID name. Click the Apply button to save the settings or click on the Advanced button for your WEP encryption settings.
Note: In order to enable WEP encryption, hexadeci- mal values, which are the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9”, must be entered.
