have been preassigned or automatically
assigned to the wireless channel to be
used for the access point.
In such a case, set the channel of the
access point to either from 1 to 11. For
further details of the setting method, refer
to the manual of the access point you are
using.
To use infrastructure connection, refer to
the manual of the access point for the
access point-setting procedure.
In the case of infrastructure connection,
