Changing Profiles

Select WLAN Profiles from the Mobile Companion menu to view, connect to, create and edit a profile.
A completed profile is a set of adapter configuration settings that can be used in different locations
to connect to a wireless network. Creating different profiles is a good way of having pre-defined
operating parameters available for use in various network environments. When the WLAN Profiles
window initially appears, existing profiles appear in the WLAN Profiles list box.
