World Mode

World Mode allows you to use your Wireless LAN Adapter in countries other than your own. It makes the Wireless LAN Adapter use passive scanning (listening only) until it hears an Access Point that also has World Mode enabled. It then knows what frequencies and transmit power to use. If the Access Point does not have World Mode enabled, YOU WILL NOT ASSOCIATE TO AN ACCESS POINT.

NOTE: Passive scanning increases the time that it takes the Wireless LAN Adapter to associate. For this reason, you should only choose World Mode if you are travelling to another country and wish to remain in compliance with local laws regarding wireless communications.
