10Operation mode: shows one of these network modes:  Infrastructure – This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point.  Ad-Hoc – This mode is for the 802.11 peer-to-peer operation. All communication is done from client to client without the use of an Access Point. The user should switch to the channel that he wants to approach. The first method is to set the clients with the same channel. Channel: shows radio channel number used for networking. Only Access Points and Ad-Hoc nodes can create a BSSID therefore this parameters is not active if the mode is infrastructure. Infrastructure client nodes will always go the same channel as their AP. SSID: shows the SSID of the BSS that you want to join. Tx Rate: shows the transfer rate. There are 1 Mbps, 2M bps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, and auto mode. If you select auto mode, the card will select the most suitable rate automatically. Power Mgmt Mode: shows Power Management modes:  Active – Adaptor will always be in active mode.  Power Save – Adaptor will save power when it is idle. Signal strength: This bar shows signal strength level. The higher the blue bar is, the more power of radio signal received by Remotek USB WLAN adaptor is. This indicator helps to find the most comfortable antenna/workstation position for quality network operation. Link quality: The measured signal level gives the overall Link Quality and Connection Status.
114.2. “Statistics” tab It shows all amounts of packets that received or transmitted by the adaptor. Data Field: shows the amounts of data packets transmitted or received by the adaptor. And also shows how many data packets are transmitted or received successfully or not. Management Field: shows the amounts of management packets transmitted or received by the adaptor.

If you want to connect to any device on the list, double-click on the device. The adaptor will connect to the device you have selected.
134.4. “Encryption” tab You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network, which can be achieved by using WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the keys entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the WEP key used by the transmitter. This panel allows the entry of four keys, which can then be written to the driver and registry. Each key must consist of 10 digits. If entered incorrectly, program will not write keys to driver. Key1-Key4: These four fields must be used to enter the keys. Submit- this button updates the driver with the four keys displayed in Key1 through Key4. The keys are also written to the registry for permanent storage. Encryption- this checkbox enables or disables encryption operation. When it is checked through 64 bits and 128 bits, encryption is enabled. When disabled is checked, encryption is hidden.
144.5. “Advanced” tab We can find and change some advance settings here. They are Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS/CTS Threshold.
