Configuring Wi-Fi profiles for different machines in the network is made easy with Endpoint Central as our product supports Wi-Fi configuration for all kinds of operating systems. You can create, modify and delete existing Wi-Fi profiles using the Wi-Fi configuration. The only pre-requisite for deploying a Wi-Fi profile is to ensure that a Wi-Fi adapter is enabled on all the target computers beforehand. You can turn on the Wi-Fi adapter while creating a Wi-Fi profile and create multiple Wi-Fi profiles. Profiles within a configuration will be applied as per the specified sequence. If you have chosen to delete all configurations first and then create a new Wi-Fi profile, all the existing Wi-Fi profiles will be removed from the computer initially followed by the addition of the second profile.
