The IBSS Tab
If you, as a creator of the wireless network, are
communicating with other stations via the IBSS
(802.11 Ad-hoc) mode to form peer-to-peer
networks, click the IBSS (Independent Basic
Service Set) tab to specify an operating radio
frequency channel from the pull-down list
under the IBSS Channel Selection section.
Note that the available channels differ from
country to country, and the channel number
must be the same between the entries/stations
within the range, so that each can communicate
with each other. Or you may simply click
Defaults to automatically determine the
channel number for you. When done, click
Apply to activate the new configuration.
On the other hand, while in the Access Point
mode, you will find the channel number is the
same as the associated access point. Thus,
there’s no need to manually set the value.
