Ad Hoc Channel
Unless the other computers in the ad hoc network use a different
channel from the default channel, there is no need to change the
channel.
Value: Select the allowed operating channel from the list.
● 802.11b/g: Select this option when 802.11b and 802.11g (2.4
GHz) ad hoc band frequency is used.
● 802.11a: Select this option when 802.11a (5 GHz) ad hoc
band frequency is used.
Ad Hoc Power Management
Set power saving features for Device to Device (ad hoc) networks.
● Disable: Select when connecting to ad hoc networks that
contain stations that do not support ad hoc power management
● Maximum Power Savings: Select to optimize battery life.
● Noisy Environment: Select to optimize performance or
connecting with multiple clients.
NOTE: This setting is unavailable if the adapter is an Intel
PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection, an Intel PRO/Wireless
2915ABG Network Connection, or an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection.
Ad Hoc QoS Mode
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides
prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN
based on traffic classification. WMM (Wifi MultiMedia) is the QoS
certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the
adapter uses WMM to support priority tagging and queuing
capabilities for Wi-Fi networks.
● WMM Enabled.(Default)
● WMM Disabled
NOTE: This setting is unavailable if the adapter is an Intel
PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection, Intel PRO/Wireless
2915ABG Network Connection or an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection.
Mixed mode protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g
environment. Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be
used in an environment where clients may not hear each other. CTS-
to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an environment
where clients are in close proximity and can hear each other.
Preamble Mode
Changes the preamble length setting received by the access point
during an initial connection. Always use a long preamble length to
connect to an access point. Auto Tx Preamble allows automatic
preamble detection. If supported, short preamble should be used. If
not, use long preamble (Long Tx Preamble).
NOTE: This setting is unavailable if the adapter is an Intel
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.
