User Manual for the NETGEAR Pre-N Wireless PC Card WGM511
For example, if you use your notebook PC to connect to a wireless network in an office and a
wireless network in your home, you can create a profile for each wireless network. Then, you can
easily load the profile that has all the configuration settings you need to join the network you are
using at the time.
There are two types of wireless network connections you can configure:
•
Infrastructure mode — uses the 802.11 infrastructure mode.
•
Ad Hoc mode — uses the 802.11 ad hoc mode
For more information on 802.11 wireless network modes, see
on page B-1
of this manual.
