User's Manual

NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:
Intel® WiFi Link 1000
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
802.11n Mode
The 802.11n standard builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). MIMO increases data
throughput to improve transfer rate. Select Enabled or Disabled to
set the 802.11n mode of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default
setting. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n
connections, WPA2*-AES security must be selected. No security
(None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.
An administrator can enable or disable support for high throughput
mode to reduce power-consumption or conflicts with other bands or
compatibility issues.
Ad Hoc Channel
Unless the other computers in the ad hoc network use a different
channel from the default channel, there is no need to change the
channel.
Value: Select the permitted operating channel from the list.
802.11b/g: Select this option when 802.11b and 802.11g (2.4
GHz) ad hoc band frequency is used.
802.11a: Select this option when 802.11a (5 GHz) ad hoc
band frequency is used. This setting does not apply to the
Intel® WiFi Link 1000 adapter.
NOTE: When an 802.11a channel is not displayed, initiating ad hoc
networks is not supported for 802.11a channels.
Ad Hoc Power
Management
Set power saving features for device to device (ad hoc) networks.
Disable: Select when connecting to ad hoc networks that
contain stations that do not support ad hoc power management
Maximum Power Savings: Select to optimize battery life.
Noisy Environment: Select to optimize performance or
connecting with multiple clients.
Ad Hoc QoS Mode
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides
prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN based
on traffic classification. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is the QoS
certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the
WiFi adapter uses WMM to support priority tagging and queuing
capabilities for Wi-Fi networks.
WMM Enabled (Default)
