Profiles
The
Profile
tab is used to store the settings of multiple Access Points such as
home, office, café, etc. When adding a profile you are required to enter a profile
name and SSID as well as configure the power-saving mode, network type,
RTS/fragmentation threshold and encryption/authentication settings. A profile
can be configured as
Infrastructure
or
Ad-hoc
mode. The configuration
settings for each mode are described below.
Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an Access Point (AP). In this mode,
all wireless communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It
doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used
in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by
acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the distance between wireless
stations.
