FAQ for Wi-Fi
A. Compatibility
A1: Should I use equipment with the same brand as the IEEE802.11b
WLAN Adapter’s to enable the wireless communication?
This is not necessary. IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter is Wi-Fi certified
which means that it will work well with different branded equipments
as long as the equipment is also Wi-Fi certified.
A2: Can I connect IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other devices using
Bluetooth?
No, you can only connect the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other
IEEE802.11b equipment.
B. Wireless LAN Connectivity
B1: How do I form a wireless network?
Typically, you can form a wireless network by connecting Access Points.
Different Access Points should have different channels. Every de-
vices connected to the network should have the same SSID. When
you are using Access Points, set the mode to “Infrastructure” mode.
Without Access Points, you can still build a network where adapters
communicate peer-to-peer using a shared SSID. When you are not
using Access Points, change the operating mode to be “802.11Ad
Hoc”. To set the operating mode, click
