3.1 Creating a new profi le
You need certain information on the target network to create a new profi le.
For one, the SSID of the target network is required. You must also know whether encryption is used in the
target network, and if so, which type. You can also choose one of two different network types. The device
supports the infrastructure and ad-hoc network types.
Infrastructure: Select this type if you want to connect this wireless LAN device to a wireless LAN router or
access point.
Ad-hoc: Select this type if you want to connect directly to another wireless LAN client device, e.g. another
USB stick or a WLAN PCI card without a wireless LAN router or access point. Two WLAN client devices are
required for this.
There are two ways of creating a profi le, either using the New button in the Profi le management tab, or by
selecting a network directly after a Scan.
• SSID network name/network ID
• If wireless encryption is used, this is indicated by a key
symbol.
• Use of Super G ™
• Use of eXtended Range (XR) ™
• Signal strength
• WLAN channel (in Europe, channels 1-13 are available)
• Wireless mode, either 108Mbps, 54Mbps or 11Mbps
