A profile is a record of the configuration you use to connect to a particular access point. Without
profiles, you would have to reconfigure the TEW-509UB each time you change access points.
Using the Profile screen you can configure the TEW-509UB to access your home network and your
office network. Each configuration is saved as a profile. Then when you go from the office to your
