The adapter supports two operational modes:

• Station Mode (Client/Receiver): The adapter connects to an existing Wi-Fi network (router) to provide internet access to your computer. This is the standard mode for most users.
• AP Mode (Access Point/Transmitter): The adapter can create a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing other devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) to connect to your computer's internet connection. This mode requires specific software configuration.
