When you start the wireless USB utility, the
information window for the WN3501AR is shown as
the figure below. Click on the “Monitor” tab to
monitor the network status of the wireless adapter,
including the BSS ID, current channel, link quality, and
signal strength.
Click “Modify” to configure “Operating Mode”,
“Channel”, “SSID” and “Tx Rate”. After
configuration, just click “Apply” to save the changes.
Operating Mode - Set the station operation mode to
“802.11 AdHoc” for network configurations that
do not have any Access Points, or to
“Infrastructure” for configurations with Access
Points. (“Infrastructure” is the default setting)
Channel - If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless
LAN (see page 23), set the channel number to the
same radio channel as that used by the other
wireless clients in your group. However, if you are
connecting to a network via an Access Point, then
the channel is automatically set to the channel of
the Access Point that the adapter connects to.
SSID - Input an SSID string that you want to
connect to (“ANY” is the default setting). If you
will be roaming among multiple Access Points
with different BSSIDs, a value of “ANY” will
allow connecttion to any SSID.
