4.2.5 AP Mode under Windows 7
1. Under Windows 7, wireless adapters are allowed to work in both STA and AP
modes. Here, the wireless adapter acts not only as a client, but also an AP to send
wireless signal, which equals to an amplifier. Right click the UI icon on the lower
right corner of the computer desktop and select “Switch to STA+AP Mode”.
2. You can change the SSID on the Config AP screen and control the number of the
connected clients by modifying the max number of peers. AP mode has only one
encryption method which is WPA2-AES by default and cannot be modified.
