The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link Air, AirPlusand AirPro products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon inthe taskbar. The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting.)In Peer-to-Peer mode, both wireless clients will need to have thesame SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up oneclient to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly beforesetting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying toestablish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiplesingular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS withmultiple clients associated to it.6.
