Chapter 2 • Introducing the USB-Link™ 2 Wi-Fi Edition
Wireless Connection
Wireless connectivity provides untethered operation, and that’s a bonus in a busy
service bay. The USB-Link™ 2 uses Wi-Fi to provide wireless communication
between the USB-Link™ 2 and your PC.
There are two network options:
• Mini Access Point (pg. 13)
• Infrastructure (pg. 14)
Wi-Fi performance can be affected by n
e
twork congestion or radio frequency in-
terference if there are too many other wireless devices in the vicinity.These
conditions may
result in dropped messages. For this reason, Wireless communi-
cation is not recommended for ECU reprogramming (i.e, reflashing).
