3.3. Adding a new Favorite manually or creating an Ad hoc network
A practical way to create a Favorite (Infrastructure or Ad hoc network) specifically for your home or office, for example, is to use
the New Favorite creation Assistant. To launch this Assistant, you must select a network in the list of networks detected by
WiFi Station N, then click the Add to Favorites button, accessible via the main window.
If you know your network settings, you can also create your Favorite or Ad hoc network yourself by clicking the Add new
Favorite manually/Create an Ad hoc network button.
The manual creation of a new Favorite or an Ad hoc network includes the following steps:
- Step 1/6: enter a name for your Favorite (for example: Work, Sport,
etc.).
-
Step 2/6: 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 3/6: 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.
