Profile Name
Name of the wireless network profile.
When you configure a wireless network that was
selected from the Wireless Networks list, the profile
name is the same as the Wireless Network Name
(SSID). This name can be changed to be more
descriptive or customized for your personal use.
Examples: My Office Network, Bob’s Home Network,
ABC Company Network
Wireless Network Name
(SSID)
Name of the wireless network access point used by the
wireless adapter for connection. The SSID must match
exactly the name of the wireless access point. It is
case sensitive.
When you configure a wireless network that was
selected from the Wireless Networks list, the SSID is
taken from the wireless network list. You cannot and
should not change it.
Blank SSID: If the wireless adapter receives a blank
network name (SSID) from a stealth access point,
<SSID not broadcast> is displayed in the Wireless
Networks list. Provide the actual SSID for the access
point. After connection both the blank SSID and the
associated SSID can be viewed in the available
networks list.
Operating Mode Network (Infrastructure): Connect to an access
point. An infrastructure network consists of one or
more access points and one or more computers with
wireless adapters. This connection is the type used in
home networks, corporate networks, hotels, and other
areas that provide access to the network and/or the
internet.
Device to Device (ad hoc): Connect directly to other
computers in an ad hoc wireless network. This type of
connection is useful for connections between two or
more computers only. It does not provide access to
network resources or the internet.
