11Mbps so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps” options you
can select.
SSID The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique
name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional
merging of two co-located WLANs.
You may specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device
with the same SSID can interconnect to the adapter.
Any If “Any“ check box is enabled, the adapter will survey and connect
to one of the available wireless stations without checking the
consistency of channel and SSID with the wireless station.

interconnecting without through AP or Router. Select this mode if
there is no AP or Router in the network.

802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access
Point or Router.
