User Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 v2
Default: The Profile named Default automatically scans for any available network. You cannot
change this profile name.
Profile: If you do not enter a name in the Profile Name box, then the name Profile is used to save
your settings. If you do this more than once then you will be asked if you want to replace the
previous settings stored in Profile.
Adding Profiles
You can store multiple profiles and recall the one which matches the network you want to join.
For example, if you use your notebook computer 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.
