WLAN Quick Connect
WLAN QuickConnect allows users to add a WLAN profile from a list of available networks auto-
refreshed every 15 seconds. Details of the selected network are pre-populated, so little or no
configuration is required by the user. Users can test the network connection before adding it to the
pool of WLAN profiles.

scanning is only preformed on the band on which the unit is connected.
