•
Select the Mode as ” 802.11 Ad Hoc”.

member of your peer-to-peer network must have the same SSID, which
should be case sensitivity.
•
Select the correct Channel

number must be the same between stations so that computers can
communicate in the local LAN. It can be changed only under the 802.11 Ad

following warning message will come out.
If you are unable to connect with other brand of IEEE 802.11b device on 802.11
