Profiles

The Profile tab is used to store the settings of multiple Access Points such as

home, office, café, etc. When adding a profile you are required to enter a profile

name and SSID as well as configure the power-saving mode, network type,

RTS/fragmentation threshold and encryption/authentication settings. A profile

can be configured as Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode. The configuration settings

for each mode are described below.

Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an Access Point (AP). In this mode,

all wireless communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It

doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in

stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by

acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the distance between wireless

stations.
