4.7. Viewing, modifying or adding Favorites – Creating an Ad
hoc network
A Favorite is a group of settings for connection to a known Infrastructure or Ad hoc network (your own, a
neighbor's, a friend's). WiFi Station DB allows you to easily store the settings for a network in memory, or
view or modify existing Favorites.
In an Ad hoc (Peer to Peer) network, creating a Favorite is the equivalent of actually creating the
wireless link between the computers.
