•
Network ID
— Select the network ID according to the destination network you want to access with the Internet access
point. You can rename, and create new network IDs. Using the correct network ID ensures that the data traffic is routed
directly to the desired destination network. Especially VPN (virtual private network) software may restrict data traffic for
a certain destination network. Network ID can be used to filter Internet access points when establishing an Internet
connection.

if you must write a new password every time you log on to a server, or if you do
not want to save your password to the device.
