Wireless network card is definitely the major trend of the times. It has become more and more popular in our "wireless life". But,to most of us,it is very severe or difficult to configure wireless network. How can we better configure it?
1 Check Network Status
Driver for wireless network card installed, its driver usually comes with the relevant configuration to use the program. Its function with the new operating system such as Windows XP comes with the configuration process is similar, but the functions are generally more powerful, may be better to meet the new and old operating system's wireless network needs.
Run the wireless network card built-in configuration to use the program, you can see a network status display panel, which is the majority of the wireless network card built-in configuration to use the program are available features, it can allow users to intuitively understand that the wireless card in working condition. The "open / close the wireless" switch can be turned on or off the wireless mini pci card on demand feature, so that when users do not need to turn off the wireless card to save power or turn off the wireless radiation sources, which both for desktop and laptop users are more useful for .
In the status display area, as well as "signal strength" of the status display bar, do not overlook this feature, which can show the current radio signal strength of wireless network card through which the signal strength of the user can move the location of machines or rotating antenna approach to look for the best online location.
Furthermore, the network status display area, we generally also be found in the channel of the wireless network card, connection rate and other parameters, in a more intuitive understanding of the wireless network connection working condition. Among them, the current sending rate is used to display the number of bits per second launch, and the current receiving rate is used to display the number of bits per second received.
For most use a wireless router built-in DHCP server for automatic IP allocation for the wireless card, in which the option can also be clearly aware of the local IP addresses, wireless routers, gateways and other information in order to more good for software applications and settings. Furthermore, the network type, SSID, security, network status information is also displayed in the important content to display, which can give you good wireless network settings to make the corresponding understanding of the situation.
2 Configuration Management
Almost all of the configuration of the wireless network card comes with the use of procedures with a "configuration" menu, and whose wireless functions of conventional configuration, master these skills is to enter the wireless configuration of the door key.
And in the "Configuration" menu, users can right a different AP, a wireless router and wireless card to make the corresponding configuration in order to better access to different wireless networks, which for the mobile computer or notebook computer particularly useful. Among them, the point is to set the network type, and SSID. If you choose infrastructure mode, then this wireless card in this machine will be directly connected with the AP or wireless router, the SSID is set to be and the AP or wireless router set up in line with the broadcast SSID. Also, some wireless network card also supports the so-called "ANY" connection mode. What is the "ANY" a connection model?
AP or wireless router in the rules for years, "ANY" of the SSID is the SSID of the mask, which represents all the SSID, When this is set to ANY pm at the AP or wireless router's SSID broadcast mechanism, if other authentication information is also correct, its will allow users to directly access the network, regardless of which user is the SSID.
If you choose to ad-hoc mode (with wireless card and wireless card to connect with each other wireless card mode), then this wireless card in this machine will be directly with other computers connected to the wireless network adapter, the SSID is set to be, and other computers wireless network card is set in line with the broadcast SSID. And, in the formation of the model network, when the configuration item selected ad-hoc mode, it will automatically appear infrastructure mode wireless network card does not require special set up the channel (channel) option. In the ad-hoc mode, to get the wireless card and wireless card for wireless inter-networking, need to ensure that the wireless card in each computer configured the same number of channels, such as have chosen for the six channels.
Of course, in this setting there is an important option to set the content that is "safe." Open the option; choose wep, wpa pre-shared key, even wpa2 encryption method, etc... If the wireless router set up the relevant encryption method, then we need in the configuration options, select the corresponding secure encryption method, and then set up the wireless router side, fill in the corresponding security keys, so the user's This configuration can be a normal wireless connection.
3 Advanced Settings
The configuration of the wireless card comes with the use of the program are generally there are more powerful or more subtle setting function, which is the so-called "advanced" settings.
Transmit power, receive antenna / transmit antennas are similar to the settings. Without the need for remote connectivity, the connection from the more recent cases, the transmit power can be set to medium or low as appropriate, in order to reduce power consumption. As for the multi-antenna systems or MIMO system, according to need and the discretion to reduce the transmission antenna / the number of transmit antennas to obtain lower power consumption. Of course, both for the transmission power and transmission rate settings, preferred "automatic" is also the kinds of compromise, a good choice, in this mode, most bluetooth mini pci-e card can automatically adjust the power or the need to adapt to rate.
