microwave oven.
If necessary, move your notebook computer a few inches to find a better signal.
Environmental condition varies with users’ location, a difference of one or two inches
can mean the difference between a strong and a weak signal. Even a slight change in

Wireless LAN PC Card in Ad-Hoc Mode
2.
Infrastructure:
In a wireless infrastructure network, wireless stations communicate
with an Access Point to connect to a wired network. An infrastructure network also can
consist of multiple Access Points. This can extend the coverage area of wireless
network. In this configuration, the wireless network consists of cells. Each cell is a
single Access Point that has different frequency channel to prevent from interfering
each other. A wireless station can move from one Access Point to next without losing
the network connection.
SSID
The SSID is the name of wireless network for Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode. To add a
Wireless LAN PC Card to an existing wireless network, configure SSID to match the name
of the wireless network
