Adding Profiles
You can store multiple profiles and recall the one which matches the network you want to join.
If you use your computer to connect to different wireless networks, you can create a profile for
each wireless network. Then, you can easily load the profile that has all the settings that you need
to join the network you are using at the time.
There are two types of wireless network profiles that you can set up:
• Access Point (Infrastructure) . Connect to an access point or router with the 802.11
infrastructure mode.
• Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) . Connect directly to another computer with the 802.11 ad
hoc mode.
For more information on 802.11 wireless network modes, see the link to the online document
“Wireless Networking Basics” in Appendix B .
