2-2-1-3 Add An Access Point To Profile

If you will connect to some specific wireless access point frequently, you can add their information to the profile. The profile saves all information of access points, and you can recall them anytime you wish to establish connection. You can add a found access point to profile, or input all information of an access point by yourself.

To add a found access point to profile, please highlighted a access point first, then click the ‘Add to Profile’ button; to input the information of access point by yourself, please go to ‘Profile’ menu and click ‘Add’ button.

Here are descriptions of every setup item:
