transmitting data.
Network Type Select Infrastructure to connect to a wireless access point, or select
802.11 Ad Hoc to connect to another wireless-enabled computer.
Tx Power This field controls the transmission power of the N220. When using the
N220 with a notebook computer, select a lower transmission power level
when you are close to the AP in order to conserve battery power.
Channel In ad-hoc mode, choose the radio channel to use for the wireless
network. If there are other networks in the area, choose a channel as
far away as possible, in order to minimize the risk of interference.
In Infrastructure mode, this field is not configurable; the N220 uses
whichever channel the AP uses.
