Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled. The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. All WL-U350 equipped PCs configured without roaming options in an independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID corresponding to the WL-U350 used in the BSS. Check your WL-U350 for its BSS ID or use the Site Survey function on Configuration Utility program to determine the BSS ID. The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration i

produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread –spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
