About Tab Field Description

Device Regional

Domain

This is the region setting for the wireless adapter. The approved

channels for the region are automatically scanned. Governments

regulate the channels used for wireless transmission. Operating the

wireless adapter in a different region might violate local laws.

Driver version The wireless adapter driver version.

Driver Date The wireless adapter driver release date.

MAC Address The MAC (Media Access Control) address of the adapter. This is a

unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to every network interface

card. Some wireless networks restrict access based on a list of known

MAC addresses. If you are communicating with such a network, you

must provide the address shown here to the network administrator

before you are allowed to connect. Restricting access by MAC address

adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network. However,

unless you use data encryption security, the data broadcast over the

wireless link is fully exposed.

IP Address The IP address assigned to this adapter.
