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. For example, this mode is used when computers in a house connect to an

access point that is attached to a router, which lets multiple computers share a single cable or

DSL broadband Internet connection.

• Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) – Connect directly to another computer with the 802.11

ad hoc mode. For example, Ad Hoc mode is used when two Windows computers are

configured with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between

them.

For more information on 802.11 wireless network modes, see the wireless reference document at:
