"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure
that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the
regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally
unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed
devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid
interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove
regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or
approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software
driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure
electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power,
spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided
in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware).
Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that
have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open
source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely
responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no
liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products,
including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory
non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to
any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and
accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data
documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio
operation to be non-compliant."

WiFi Adapter Settings Description
Note: Not all settings described are available for all adapters. You may not see all settings listed
here.
Name
802.11ac Mode
(5GHz)
Description
The 802.11ac standard builds on 802.11n standard. 802.11ac Mode delivers
up to 867Mbps (theoretical) by increasing channel bandwidth to 80MHz and
adding higher density modulation (256 QAM). Select Enabled or Disabled
to set the 802.11ac mode of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default setting.
This setting applies to 802.11ac capable adapters only.
802.11n Channel Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the
Width (2.4GHz) channel width to Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are
restricted. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link
4965AGN (uses 20 MHz channel width only).
802.11n Channel Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the
channel width to Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are
Width (5GHz)
restricted. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:


802.11n Mode
Intel® WiFi Link 1000
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
The 802.11n standard builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). MIMO increases data throughput to
improve transfer rate. Select Enabled or Disabled to set the 802.11n mode
of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to
802.11n capable adapters only. Enabled is the default setting. This setting
applies to 802.11n capable adapters only. 802.11n Mode must be enabled to
support 802.11ac. Disabling 802.11n Mode will disabled 802.11ac.
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n
connections, WPA2*-AES security must be selected. No security (None)
can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.
Ad Hoc Channel
802.11b/g
Ad Hoc QoS
Mode
An administrator can enable or disable support for high throughput mode to
reduce power-consumption or conflicts with other bands or compatibility
issues.
Select Enabled or Disabled.
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides
prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN based on
traffic classification. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is the QoS certification of
the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the WiFi adapter uses
WMM to support priority tagging and queuing capabilities for Wi-Fi
networks.


WMM Enabled (Default)
WMM Disabled
Bluetooth® AMP Enable or disable Bluetooth® AMP. AMP stands for alternate MAC/PHY
and uses the 802.11 (Wi-Fi) as the highspeed tranport. If disabled, Bluetooth
HS is turned off.
This settings lets you select HT Mode (High Throughput mode), VHT Mode
HT Mode/VHT
(Very High Throughput Mode) or to disable both modes. HT Mode supports
Mode/Disabled
802.11n compatiblity, whereas VHT Mode supports 802.11ac compatiblity.
This setting communicates to access points that this WiFi adapter does not
Fat Channel
prefer 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band. The default setting is for this to
Intolerant
be turned off (disabled), so that the adapter does not send this notification. If
the access point continues to use 40MHz channels, the WiFi adapter will
also use 40MHz channels if the 802.11n Channel Width (2.4GHz) setting is
AUTO.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:


Mixed mode
protection
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment.
Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be used in an
Preferred Band
environment where clients may not hear each other. CTS-to-self can be used
to gain more throughput in an environment where clients are in close
proximity and can hear each other.
In an environment with other radiating devices nearby (such as microwave
ovens, cordless telephones, access points, or client devices), in order to
reduce interference you may want prefer the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz
band, or vice-versa. Your choices are:



No Preference
Prefer 2.4GHz band
Prefer 5GHz band
Here are the various Wi-Fi bands:






Roaming
Aggressiveness
This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to
improve connection to an access point. There are five avaialbe settings.



Transmit Power
802.11 legacy - 2.4GHz
802.11a - 3.7GHz and 5GHz
802.11b - 2.4GHz
802.11g - 5GHz
802.11n - 2.4GHz and 5GHz
802.11ac - 5GHz
3. Medium: This is the default. A balanced setting between not
roaming and performance.
1. Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link
quality degradation causes it to roam to another access point.
5. Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality.
If any degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access
point.
Default Setting: Highest power setting.
Lowest: Minimum Coverage: Set the adapter to the lowest transmit power.
Enables you to expand the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage
area. Reduces the coverage area in high traffic areas to improve overall
transmission quality and avoids congestion and interference with other
devices.
Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to a maximum transmit
power level. Select for maximum performance and range in environments
with limited additional WiFi radio devices.
NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at
the lowest possible level that is still compatible with the quality of their
communication. This allows the maximum number of wireless devices to
operate in dense areas and reduce interference with other devices that it
shares the same radio spectrum with.
Wake on Magic
Packet
NOTE: This setting takes effect when either Network (Infrastructure) or
Device to Device (ad hoc) mode is used.
This setting, enabled, wakes the computer from a sleep state when it receives
a "magic packet" from a sending computer. The magic packet contains the
MAC address of the intended destination cmputer.
Enabling turns on Wake on Magic Packet. Disabling turns off Wake on
Magic Packet. Disabling this only disables the magic packet feature, not
Wake on Wireless LAN.
Wake on Pattern This feature wakes the computer from a sleep state when a particular wake
pattern is received at the adapter. This feature is supported by the Window*
Match
7 and Windows 8. Such patterns typically are:


Caution: When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to indoor use due to
its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to
be used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15GHz to 5.25GHz to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the
primary user of the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands. These radar stations can
cause interference with and/or damage to this device. The maximum allowed antenna gain for
use with this device is 6dBi in order to comply with the E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25- to 5.35 and
5.725 to 5.85GHz frequency range in point-to-point operation. To comply with RF exposure
requirements all antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20cm, or the minimum
separation distance allowed by the module approval, from the body of all persons.
Attention: l'utilisation d'un réseau sans fil IEEE802.11a est restreinte à une utilisation en
intérieur à cause du fonctionnement dans la bande de fréquence 5.15-5.25GHz. Industry Canada
requiert que ce produit soit utilisé à l'intérieur des bâtiments pour la bande de fréquence 5.155.25GHz afin de réduire les possibilités d'interférences nuisibles aux canaux co-existants des
systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de puissances ont fait l'objet d'une allocation
primaire de fréquences dans les bandes 5.25-5.35GHz et 5.65-5.85GHz. Ces stations radar
peuvent créer des interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui être nuisible. Le gain d'antenne
maximum permissible pour une utilisation avec ce produit est de 6 dBi afin d'être conforme aux
limites de puissance isotropique rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) applicable dans les bandes 5.255.35GHz et 5.725-5.85GHz en fonctionnement point-à-point. Pour se conformer aux conditions
d'exposition de RF toutes les antennes devraient être localisées à une distance minimum de 20
cm, ou la distance de séparation minimum permise par l'approbation du module, du corps de
toutes les personnes.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Selon les règlements de Canada d'Industrie, cet émetteur de radio peut seulement fonctionner en
utilisant une antenne du type et de gain maximum (ou moindre) que le gain approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Canada d'Industrie. Pour réduire lesinterférences radio potentielles avec les autres
utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain devraient être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente(P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas supérieure à celle qui est nécessaire pour une
communication réussie.

Definition
The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the
IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air
interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two
wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4GHz
band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps
and an operating frequency of 5GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission
method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features such
as WEP encryption for security.
802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and
provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in
the 2.4GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+
Mbps in the 2.4GHz band.
The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps,
an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security.
802.11g networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi* networks.
A task group of the IEEE 802.11 committee has defined a new draft
specification that provides for increased throughput speeds of up to 540
Mbps. The specification provides for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output
(MIMO) technology, or using multiple receivers and multiple
transmitters in both the client and access point, to achieve improved
performance.
802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control.
This is used in conjunction with EAP methods to provide access control
to wired and wireless networks.
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to
control access to computer resources and track user activity.
A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example,
a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others.
A communication configuration in which every computer has the same
capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session.
Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a device to device network or a
computer-to-computer network.

IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption
method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic
keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit
blocks. AES-CCMP uses the AES block cipher, but restricts the key
length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates two sophisticated
cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC-MAC) to provide
improved security between the mobile client and the access point.
Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital
certificates, smart cards and biometrics are used to prove the identity of
the client to the network. Passwords and digital certificates are also used
to identify the network to the client.
One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless
Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows*
XP environment). Any wireless network that is broadcasting and is
within receiving range of the WiFi adapter appears on the list.
Bit Error Rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in
a data transmission from one location to another.
The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network
connection can support. Note that this bit rate will vary, under software
control, with different signal path conditions.
Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network
by sending probes.
A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The
Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of
each adapter on the network.
A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition,
Internet Explorer's certificate can import a certificate from a file. A
trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store.
Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on
Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure meet the security, management and
roaming requirements.
Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the
authentication server (for example, RADIUS server) and used by the
authenticator.
Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security
protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message
integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11 security
in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.
The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host
computer's connection or the access point's connection.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio
transmission. Incompatible with FHSS.
Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-
EAP-AKA
Point Protocol's (PPP) authentication protocol and provides a generalized
framework for several different authentication methods. EAP is supposed
to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from
passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure
certificates all work smoothly.
EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS
Authentication and Key Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for
authentication and session key distribution, using the Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module
(USIM). The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular
networks to validate a given user with the network.
EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic.
The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to
authenticate.
Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first
communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server.
If the client does not have a pre-shared secret Protected Access
Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST
exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.
EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery
through an out-of-band secure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.
EAP-FAST


EAP-GTC
EAP-OTP
EAP-SIM
Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that
the administrator of the network feels is sufficiently secure for
their network.
Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect
the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the
client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method
may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in
LEAP.
The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and
authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the
PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client
and user.
The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except
with hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message,
and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card.
EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the
OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable message. The
OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-
SIM) authentication can be used with:


Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.
Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the
network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the
access point can gain access to the network.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft,
Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to
the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a
number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform
client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS
server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate
on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is
currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an
authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless
systems. PEAP is an authentication type designed to take advantage of
server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support
various authentication methods, including user passwords and one-time
passwords, and Generic Token Cards.
A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate

equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second. One MegaHertz (MHz)
is one million Hertz. One GigaHertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. For
reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM
broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio
frequency band is 88-108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate
at 2.45GHz.

is a special smart card used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.
Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to
not broadcast the SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary

SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless
network. The SSID for your wireless network card must match the SSID
SSID (Service Set
for any access point that you want to connect with. If the value does not
Identifier)
match, you are not granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up
to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case-sensitive.
A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to
not broadcast its SSID. This is the WiFi network name that appears when
a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless
WiFi Connection Utility) scans for available wireless networks. Although
this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a
stealth
weak security feature. To connect to a stealth access point, a user must
specifically know the SSID and configure their DMU accordingly. The
feature is not a part of the 802.11 specification, and is known by differing
names by various vendors: closed mode, private network, SSID
broadcasting.
Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi
Protected Access* uses its TKIP. TKIP provides important data
TKIP (Temporal Key encryption enhancements including a re-keying method. TKIP is part of
the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the
Integrity Protocol)
next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used
to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per packet key
mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus
fixing the flaws of WEP.
A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer
Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAPTLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS
TLS (Transport Layer
protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a
Security)
public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol
allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to
negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is
transmitted.
These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate
a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and
create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client
can use another authentication protocol. Typically password-based
protocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server
TTLS (Tunneled
validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a nonTransport Layer
exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support
Security)
all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP,
PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to
work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new
protocols.
Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred
to as 40-bit). This is a low-level encryption technique designed to give
the user about the same amount of privacy that he would expect from a
WEP (Wired
LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks
Equivalent Privacy) (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide
the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide
security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted
from one end point to another.
Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key.
The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII
characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and
WEP Key
~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all valid characters.
The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a
telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over
long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full
mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. The
WiMAX
name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in
June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard.
The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling
the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to
cable and DSL."

This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data
protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim
WPA* (Wi-Fi
standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its

completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for
BSS (Infrastructure) mode only. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi

IBSS (ad hoc) mode. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new
standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless LAN
(subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that encrypts data sent over radio
waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the
security features of WEP as follows:

WPA-Enterprise

Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity
protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the
encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature to ensure
that the keys have not been tampered with.
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through
the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates
access to a wireless network based on a computer's hardwarespecific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out
and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption
system to ensure that only authorized network users can access
the network.
WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i
standard upon its completion.
Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small
WPA-Personal
network or home environment.
WPA-PSK mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi
