Station ESS ID Extended Service Set Identifier (Wireless Network Identifier) is the group name that
will be shared by every member of your wireless network. You will only be able to connect with an
Access Point, which has the same ESS ID.
Network mode shows one of these network modes:
• Pseudo BSS -this is the 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation. In Ad Hoc only one wireless
"cell" is supported for each different ESS ID. All communication is done from Client to Client
without the use of an Access Point.
• Infrastructure This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All
communication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients in
the BSS (Basic Service Set) as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
