Figure 4.4 Available networks
The application shows the available networks detected by your wireless Adapter.
The following information will appear in the “Redes Disponibles” section:
- Nombre de Red. This is the network identifier (SSID) of all networks within the range
of the USB wireless adapter.
- Conexión This shows the type of connection you will make to connect to this
network. It can be ‘Punto a punto’, indicating that you are going to connect to
another device only to transmit data between them, or ‘Red’, indicating that you are
going to connect to a network through a wireless access point (AP) or wireless router.
This option (“Red”) will be indicated in the “Conexión” field if the network you
are going to connect to comes from a Movistar router.
- Canal. This indicates the channel number (contained in standards 802.11b, 802.11g
and 802.11n) you are using to transmit information on this network. Next to the
channel number are three letters (b, g and n) that tell us what type of technology the
related network supports. ‘b’ is the oldest (11 Mbps), then ‘g’ (54 Mbps) and finally
‘n’ (up to 300 Mbps).
- Seguridad. The type of security of the related network is indicated here. Normally,
the types of networks listed will range from less to more secure: Not secure, WEP,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
