Using the Macintosh Configuration
Utility
The Wireless-N USB
utility provides options so you can create
profiles, scan available networks, monitor the signal strength of
your network connection, and specify advanced settings. This
chapter tells you when and how to use each of these options.
Creating Profiles
A profile is a collection of settings needed for a particular
wireless connection. If you plan to use more than one network,
you can create a profile for each one and then switch to its
profile when you want to connect to that particular network.
For example, you may want to set up profiles for a work network
and a home network, each of which has different configuration
settings. By creating two profiles, you can store the settings for
each network and the adapter will automatically connect to the
profile.
The easiest way to create a profile is to create it when you
connect to the wireless network the first time. Please see
Chapter 5: Connecting to a Wireless Network in Mac OS X
for
how to create a profile when you connect to a wireless network.
If you want to create a profile without first connecting to the
wireless network or if you wish to edit an existing profile, follow
the instructions below.
