Auto Switch by SSID
|
You can avoid the trouble of changing the network settings in the PC each time you change wireless LAN networks (SSID) and network environments. You can efficiently use the local wireless LAN network in the network environment of your choice. By configuring Auto Switch by SSID, the profile with the optimal network settings is automatically selected when you connect to an SSID. This function enables you to use the appropriate network for the current network environment. |
