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.
