using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more NWD3105 wireless adapters.  Note: 1) An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices or clients will connect to the wireless router or access point. 2) An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless desktop adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate. 3) In the U.S., Channel 12 and Channel 13 are banned to use according to the act of FCC. So please kindly make sure your AP is working on other channel before you use it.  Wireless Mode: Specifies 2.4 GHz 150 Mbps, 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps or 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps operation in an access point network. The Wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point with which it associates.  Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network: Specifies 2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps to H H start an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after scanning all available modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel that the Wireless Adapter uses. The channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected automatically. The Adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of the clients it associates.  802.11 Authentication Mode: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate to an access point:  Auto - Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails.  Open - Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.  Shared - Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP key. For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred Aps...to specify four access points at most to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points. The four access points have different priorities; the frontal has the higher priority. 20

Ad Hoc
H
Network
: Specifies 2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps to
start an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after scanning all available
modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel that the Wireless Adapter uses.
The channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other ad
hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected
automatically. The Adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of the clients it
associates.
802.11 Authentication Mode
: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate to an
access point:
Auto -
Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but
switches it to open authentication if shared fails.
Open -
Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its
WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the
adapter and the access point match.
Shared -
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have
the same WEP key.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click
