After you have created multiple profiles, you can also switch between them with the

“Automatic Profile Selection” option is selected, and in what order they will be tried.

The 

Edit Current Profile

 (

) button allows you to make changes to the currently 

selected profile.  You can also make changes to a profile from the Wireless LAN Profile 
Manager, or by creating a new connection for the network name (which will overwrite the 
current profile).

The 

Diagnostics

 (

) button will display information about the wireless LAN adapter, 

current connection, and visible networks. The
