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 Mode”.
You can change the SSID on the Config AP screen and control the number of the connected clients by modifying the
maximum number of peers. AP mode has only one encryption method which is WPA2-AES by default and cannot be modified.
