- Step 1: enter a name for your Favorite (for example:
Work, Sport, etc.).
- Step 2: select either Infrastructure or Ad hoc mode for
your network architecture; Infrastructure architecture is
selected by default. Reminder: Infrastructure is a type
of network with an access point + at least two
computers, whereas in Ad hoc mode there will be two
or more computers without an access point (one of the
computers creates the network, while the other only
detects it). If you have already clicked the Add to
Favorites button, the fields will already be filled in.
If you opt for Ad hoc mode, you must select the RF
channel from a list of available channels (1 to 13), channel 1
being the default channel.
- Step 3: enter the name of your network (SSID name). If
you have already clicked the Add to Favorites button in
the Connection window, the field will be filled in with the
appropriate SSID name.
If you want to create your Ad hoc network, give it the
name of your choice here.
