[. . . ] infrastructure - All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. Ad-Hoc - Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more TL-WN951N wireless adapters. € • Network Type: There are basically two modes of networking: • • Note: 1) 2) 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. 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. The Wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point with which it associates. 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. 11 Authentication Mode: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate to an access point: • • Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails. 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-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. Select the profile name in the Profiles List. Select the profile name required in the Profiles List. From the Profile Management screen (shown in Figure 3-2), highlight the profile to export. Click Export…, the Export Profile window will then appear below.

[. . . ] Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique 41 TL-WN951N 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. [. . . ]
