Chapter 5 AP Mode (For Windows 7 only)
In Soft AP mode, the adapter will work as an AP.
This function is available only
in Windows7.
Suppose that only one computer in your house can access the
Internet for various reasons like only one WLAN port is available on your wired
broadband Router, however, other wireless-capable devices also want to
share the Internet. Then the adapter can be configured as an AP under the
Soft AP mode, saving you the trouble of having to get a separate access point
or a Router.
With this feature, a computer can use a single physical wireless adapter to
connect as a client to a hardware access point while at the same time acting as
a software AP allowing other wireless-capable devices to connect to it. To
switch to this mode, right-click on the utility icon in your system tray and select
Switch to SoftAP mode
.
Or from the
Advanced
page of the utility, click
ON
under the
SoftAP mode
as
shown in the following figure. Click
OK
when prompted to confirm the setting.
