Yes, you will need to set it to 12. Try setting in the config and
reboot. Remember only have the wlan0 active and not the eth0 at the same
time. Once set to 12, check

iwconfig wlan0

route

to confirm. Route is the same as netstat -r and should list your network
and default route.

eg.


Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
