Owner's Manual

NOTE:
3. On the Select a security option for your ad hoc network page, click WEP security.
4. On the same page, select the channel on which you want your network to operate, and then click Next. If
you want to operate your ad hoc network on a 40 MHz bandwidth channel, select the 40 MHz Bandwidth
check box.
• Your
WLAN
adapter
must be
capable of
IEEE
802.11n
operation,
and a
channel
that
provides
40 MHz
bandwidth
operation
must be
available.
• Operating your ad hoc network on a 40 MHz bandwidth channel does not necessarily increase throughput if the
environment is busy or noisy. Furthermore, the "good neighbor" policy that is used to minimize neighboring-
channel interference on infrastructure networks is not supported for ad hoc networks that are operating on a 40
MHz bandwidth channel. Therefore, operating your ad hoc network on a 40 MHz bandwidth channel is likely to
cause twice as much neighboring-channel interference with other ad hoc connections in your area than when
operating on a 20 MHz bandwidth channel.
