The Ad Hoc Setting dialog box opens: Figure 3-6 4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) for your Ad Hoc computer-to-computer network. 5. In the Channel field, Automatic should work. Note: If there is interference from another nearby wireless device, use the Networks tab page to see which channels are in use in your area. Then use a different channel. For example, if your neighbors use channel 6 and the signal strength is strong, then channels 4-8 would probably be poor choices for you. 6. Click OK. The Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter automatically selects the highest connection speed. 3-7 v1.0, February 2006
