Operating modes
There are two operating modes in WLAN:
infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices are connected to
each other through a WLAN access point device, or
wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through
a WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and
receive data directly with each other.

To select the interval for your device to scan for
available WLANs, and to update the indicator, select

selected WLAN automatically, to ask for permission
