D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?

SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field. For the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as the Access Point been connected with. To create a 802.11 Ad Hoc Network, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the

wireless communication within the local area network.

NOTE	You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the
	first 802.11 Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join
	the same SSID group, you could only choose the same
	SSID as the first station, but the channel will not take
	effect. The 802.11 Ad Hoc must enter the proper SSID.
	Blank SSID for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is not allowed.
	The stations want to join the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network must
	have the same SSID and are suggested to have the same
	IP Address in the Network group.

D2: Why can’t I choose the “Channel” field in “Infrastructure” Mode?

For the Infrastructure Mode, the Channel is decided by the Access Point. You can only join the existing Access Point formed Wireless Network but not create a new Wireless Network. That is the reason why you can’t set the “Channel” setting.
