Specifying a Network Type to Access
By default, your wireless station will attempt to connect to an Infrastructure network (if available) first. If an Infrastructure network is not available, an
Ad Hoc network will then be attempted.
However, it is possible that you want connect to certain networks only. In this situation, you can specify the network to access by clicking the
Advanced button on the Wireless Networks tab. Then select your preferred access type and click OK .
For example, you want to connect to an Ad Hoc network but both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure networks are available. In this case, you can select the
Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only option.
Note that if your preferred network is limited to Access Point or Ad Hoc network, the Preferred networks section on Wireless Networks tab will list
only the networks of your preference. If you try to add a new network of non-preferred type, the addition will not appear in the list unless you change
the preferred network types.
