Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify
the different networks ( Access Point ).
The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the
unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the
unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs.
You may specify a SSID for the adapter and then only
the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the
adapter.
There are two kinds of network type described as
follows.
Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the
presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All
communication is done via the Access Point or Router.
Ad Hoc – Connect to another wireless adapter in the
Wireless LAN network without through an Access Point
