If [Wired + Wireless (Primary Mode)] is selected in [Network I/F Configuration], configure settings to use this machine as a wireless LAN access point.

Setting		Description
[SSID]		Enter the SSID to use this machine as a wireless LAN access point (using up to 32 bytes).
[Authentication/Encryption Algorithm]		Select the algorithm used for authentication or encryption (default: [No Authentication/Encryption]).
[WEP Key]		Set [WEP Key] when [WEP] is selected in [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm]. [Key Input Method]: Select the method to enter the WEP key. [WEP Key]: Enter the WEP key. [Key Selection]: Select the required WEP keys.
[Passphrase]		Specify the [Passphrase] when an algorithm other than [WEP] or [No Authentication/Encryption] is selected in [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm]. [Passphrase Input Method]: Select the method to enter the passphrase. [Passphrase]: Enter the passphrase. [Passphrase Auto Update]: Specify whether to automatically update the encryption key. [Update Interval]: Enter the interval to update the encryption key.
[Wireless Channel]		Select a wireless channel to be used by the access point (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point.
[Wireless Channel Settings]		Specify the frequency band and channel required for wireless LAN connection. [Available frequency band]: Select the frequency band required for wireless LAN connection. [Wireless Channel(2.4GHz)]: Select the channel to be used for wireless LAN connection of the 2.4GHz band (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point. [Wireless Channel(5GHz)]: Select the channel to be used for wireless LAN connection of the 5GHz band (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point.
[ANY Connection]		Select whether to allow ANY connection (default: [Allow]). If [Restrict] is selected, the SSID cannot be detected automatically as an access point in the wireless LAN adapter side.
[MAC address Filtering]		Restricts wireless LAN adapters that can be connected to the access point using the MAC address. Enter the MAC addresses of wireless LAN adapters that can be connected to the access point. MAC addresses of up to 16 devices can be registered.
[DHCP Server Settings]		Configure settings to use the DHCP server. In general use, DHCP server settings are required. [Enable Settings]: Select whether to enable the DHCP server function (default: [Disable]). [IPv4 lease address]: Specify the range of IPv4 addresses to be leased from the DHCP server. [Subnet Mask]: Specify the subnet mask of the IPv4 address to be leased from the DHCP server. [Lease period]: Specify the lease period of the IPv4 address to be leased from the DHCP server.
[No.of Concurrent Devices Allowed]		Enter the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously to the access point (default: [16] units).
[Signal Strength Setting]		Select the radio field intensity of the access point from three levels (default: [High]).
[Display Connected Devices:]		Displays a list of names and MAC addresses of wireless LAN adapters that are connected to the access point.

When [Wired + Wireless (Wi-Fi Direct)] is selected in [Network I/F Configuration], configure settings to operate this machine as a Wi-Fi Direct group owner.

Setting		Description
[SSID]		Enter the SSID to use this machine as a Wi-Fi Direct group owner (using up to 32 bytes). This option is available when a terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Direct is connected to this machine. If you cannot connect to this machine by specifying the SSID specified here, specify [Virtual SSID] to make a connection.
[Virtual SSID]		Displays the automatically generated virtual SSID. This option is available when a terminal incompatible with Wi-Fi Direct is connected to this machine. The virtual SSID is displayed with "DIRECT-XXXXXX" ("XXXXXX" indicates a combination of the random alphanumeric characters and the specified value of SSID).
[Authentication/Encryption Algorithm]		The algorithm for authentication or encryption is fixed to [WPA2-PSK(AES)].
[Passphrase]		Displays the automatically created passphrase.
[Wireless Channel]		Select a wireless channel to be used by the access point (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point.
[Wireless Channel Settings]		Specify the frequency band and channel required for wireless LAN connection. [Available frequency band]: Select the frequency band required for wireless LAN connection. [Wireless Channel(2.4GHz)]: Select the channel to be used for wireless LAN connection of the 2.4GHz band (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point. [Wireless Channel(5GHz)]: Select the channel to be used for wireless LAN connection of the 5GHz band (default: [Auto]). Selecting [Auto] searches for a channel that is not being used for other access points, and automatically assigns it to the access point.
[DHCP Server Settings]		Configure settings to use the DHCP server. In general use, DHCP server settings are required. [Enable Settings]: Select whether to enable the DHCP server function (default: [Disable]). [IPv4 lease address]: Specify the range of IPv4 addresses to be leased from the DHCP server. [Subnet Mask]: Specify the subnet mask of the IPv4 address to be leased from the DHCP server. [Lease period]: Specify the lease period of the IPv4 address to be leased from the DHCP server.
[No.of Concurrent Devices Allowed]		Enter the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously to the access point (default: [16] units).
[Signal Strength Setting]		Select the radio field intensity of the access point from three levels (default: [High]).
[Display Connected Devices:]		Displays a list of names and MAC addresses of wireless LAN adapters that are connected to the access point.

For details on the Wi-Fi Direct connection method, refer to the user's manual of your terminal.
If [Wireless Channel] is set to [Auto], it may cause a Wi-Fi Direct connection failure on some Android terminals. In this case, change the [Wireless Channel] setting to the fixed channel, then retry a connection.
