Domain
This is the region setting for the wireless adapter. The approved
channels for the region are automatically scanned. Governments
regulate the channels used for wireless transmission. Operating the
wireless adapter in a different region might violate local laws.
Driver version The wireless adapter driver version.
Driver Date The wireless adapter driver release date.
MAC Address The MAC (Media Access Control) address of the adapter. This is a
unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to every network interface
card. Some wireless networks restrict access based on a list of known
MAC addresses. If you are communicating with such a network, you
must provide the address shown here to the network administrator
before you are allowed to connect. Restricting access by MAC address
adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network. However,
unless you use data encryption security, the data broadcast over the
wireless link is fully exposed.
IP Address The IP address assigned to this adapter.
