America. If you set the Adapter to channel 12 or 13, it will use channel 1 or 11 instead.

B devices can operate in the network.

stronger than WEP encryption, PSK2 stands for Pre-Shared Key 2, which is a security standard stronger than
WPA-Personal, RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, and LEAP stands for
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. If you don't want to use encryption, select Disabled.
