Tenda Wireless Network Adapter User Guide

However, there’s one exception that when you have set the hidden SSID,namely the SSID can not be scanned,then you must manually connect by adding the profile name.The main interface is as shown below.

Add: create a new profile

Delete: delete the existing profile

Edit: modify the existing profile

Add WPS Profile: WPS setting requires that the connecting wireless device support WPS function. WPS helps you to fulfill wireless encryption fast as well as secure your wireless network. For detailed setting steps, refer to appendix2.

There are two network types for your option when clicking the

“Add” button to add wireless adapter connection: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.

-30-

Tenda Wireless Network Adapter User Guide

Infrastructure is an application mode that integrates the wired and wireless LAN architectures. It is different from Ad-Hoc in that in this mode the computer installed with the wireless network adapter has to fulfill the wireless communication via AP or wireless router. It can be devided into two modes:“wireless

AP + wireless network adapter” and “wireless router + wireless network adapter”.

Ad-Hoc is a special wireless mobile network application mode.

All nodes in the network are equal.Usually it is used to share resources by connecting the opposing computer’s wireless adapter.
