Ad-hoc Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with
the wireless Network Interface Cards that form a wireless network whenever they
are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer,
would only have access to the resources of the other client and does not require
an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set
up a wireless network.
 Profile: Enter a name for the profile; this does not need to be the same
as the SSID.
 SSID: Enter the SSID of the network or select one from the drop-down
list. The SSID is a unique name shared among all points in your wireless
network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network, and is
case-sensitive.
 Network Type: Select Ad-hoc from the drop-down list.
 Preamble: Select Auto from the drop-down list, unless you are aware of
the preamble type (long or short) used in each station.
 Channel: Displays the channel number of the Access Point.
 TX Power: Select a transmit power from the drop-down list. If your
notebook is connected to external power then select 100% or auto, if
not, select one of the lower values for power saving.
