Network Type
Choose a wireless operating mode for
the Bridge. Keep the default setting, Infrastructure, if
you want your wireless-equipped device to communicate
with computers and other devices on your wired network
using a wireless access point. Select Ad-Hoc if you want
multiple wireless-equipped devices to communicate
directly with each other.
If you chose Ad-Hoc mode, then select the correct
operating channel for your network from the Channel
drop-down menu. This should match the channel setting
of the other devices in your wireless network.
Select the appropriate network mode from the Mode
drop-down menu. Keep the default, Mixed, if you have
Wireless-G (802.11g) and Wireless-B (802.11b) devices in
your network. Select G-Only if you have only Wireless-G
devices in your network
