To access the profile connection preference option:
1. From the General page, click the Networks tab.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Under the Auto-connection heading, click the one of the following options:
● Connect to available networks using profiles only (Default setting): Use the profiles in
the Profile List to connect to any available network.
● Connect to any available network if no matching profile is found: Connect to any
available network without using a profile from the Profile List.
● Connect to any network based on profiles only (Cisco Mode): Connect to any
available network access point using profiles enabled for Cisco CCX (version 1) mode. This
mode allows connection to access points that support multiple and blank network names
(SSIDs).

check box to allow the wireless LAN adapter to communicate with mixed cells. A
mixed cell is a wireless network in which some devices use WEP and some do not.
The option Enable Cisco-Client eXtentions in the Profile Wizard General Settings
page must be enabled for mixed cell support.
4. Click OK to save the setting and return to the previous dialog.
Transmit Data Rates and Access Points
To achieve the optimum transmit data rate it is important to identify the type of access point that
the wireless adapter is connecting to. The Advanced Settings provide the mode selections to
optimize your operating environment.
Infrastructure Mode
The following describes how the wireless preference modes operate using Infrastructure mode.
The adapter can operate in three modes:
● Connect to 802.11g and 802.11b: This is the default setting. The adapter will search for
either 11g or 11b access points using data transmit rates of 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24,
36, 48, or 54 Mbps. This connection defaults to 11g access points. The Available Networks
list displays all 11b and 11g access points.
● Connect to 802.11g only: The adapter will search for a 11g access point only using data
transmit rates of 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps. The Available Networks
list displays only 11g access points.
