“Ad-Hoc” mode is not supported (despite inclusion in the “Mode” selection drop-down menu). However, a discover can show other WiFi-enabled devices operating in Ad-Hoc mode.

A totally unsecured WiFi network (Security = “None”) is supported, but is not recommended.

WEP security is often considered less desirable than the newer WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security methods, supported by most recent WiFi router/access point devices—“PSK” is “Pre-Shared Key”.

For this reason, in many job scenarios, a Security type of “WPA-PSK” or “WPA2-PSK” will be used to match the configuration of the WiFi router/access point.

Do not select Security types of “WPA” or “WPA2” unless you have associated files for a CA certificate (Certificate Authority) and private key(s) to load onto the JACE, using the WiFi Certificate Manager view. This type of security/authentication is typical only to “Enterprise class” type networks. For related details see WiFi Certificate Manager.
