1. Check BSSID. When there is a link, the current Basic Service Set ID of the Access Point
been used will be shown in the BSSID field in Link Page. When the adapter is disconnected
with the Access Point, "Non-associated" will appear in the BSSID field. To view BSSID,
from your Pocket PC, click Start→Settings→System→Wireless LAN Utility→Link.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adapter can hear the Access Point.
If the quality is poor, it's better to rescan and find a better performance Access Point or re-
arrange the AP's position for better performance. To view Link Quality, from your Pocket
PC, click Start→Settings→System→Wireless LAN Utility→Config.
B4: What is 802.11 Ad Hoc Network? What should I do to form an 802.11 Ad Hoc Network?
802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is used to create a peer-to-peer connection without an Access Point. 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 for connection. The Channel setting for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network stations to join the
existing 802.11 Ad Hoc Network will automatically be set as the channel number of the
network.

a Wireless Network, you can connect your Access Point to the ADSL, Cable Model or LAN
Ethernet and then configure the Access Point base on the User Guide for the Access Point to set
the proper SSID, Channel and WEP security service. After that, configure the IEEE 802.11b
WLAN adapter. Set the same SSID, Channel and WEP as the Access Point's. 802.11 Ad Hoc
