Wireless LAN Networking 
This section provides background information on wireless LAN networking technology. Consult 
the Glossary for definitions of the terminology used in this section. 
T
HE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. CHANGING 
NETWORK SETTINGS AND PARTICULARLY SECURITY SETTTINGS SHOULD ONLY 
BE  DONE  BY AN AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR. 
 
 
Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate) 
The SMCWBR14-N2 provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most 
networking scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This 
setting allows your SMCWBR14-N2 to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the 
communication quality drops below a certain level, the SMCWBR14-N2 automatically switches to 
a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable. 
However, when the communication quality improves again, the SMCWBR14-N2 gradually 
increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission 
rate. 
Types of Wireless Networks 
Wireless LAN networking works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. In infra-
structure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access points. Each access 
point and its wireless devices are known as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set 
(ESS) is two or more BSSs in the same subnet. In ad hoc mode (also known as peer-to-peer 
mode), wireless devices communicate with each other directly and do not use an access point. 
This is an Independent BSS (IBSS). 
 
To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using access points, set the operation mode 
to Infrastructure (BSS). To set up an independent wireless workgroup without an access point, use 
Ad-hoc (IBSS) mode. 
 
A
D-HOC (IBSS) NETWORK 
Ad-hoc mode does not require an access point or a wired network. Two or more wireless stations 
communicate directly to each other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to as an 
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). 
 
To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all the stations in ad-hoc mode. Use the same SSID and 
  
						

							 6 channel for each station. 
  
						

							7   
When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic 
Service Set (BSS). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data 
packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations 
can then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.
