Setting up Windows Network Profiles
A profile is a saved group of network settings. Profiles are displayed in the Profile List in the
wireless client manager General page. Profiles can be arranged in order of network connection
priority. You can connect to one network using the first profile in the Profile List, then
automatically connect to another network using the next profile. This allows you to stay connected
while roaming freely from one wireless network to another. Although you can assign multiple
profiles to a single network, you can only use one profile per connection. To add a new profile,
use the Profile Wizard sequence of dialogs to configure the profile contents. The following
example uses all of the Profile Wizard dialogs. Some settings may not be required for all profiles.
Refer to the following to setup profile connection preferences:
