Each location profile stores all of the network and Internet configuration settings that are needed to connect to a network infrastructure from a specific location such as home or work. The network connection can be made using a modem, a wired network adapter (Ethernet or Token Ring), a Broadband device (DSL, cable modem, or ISDN), or a wireless network adapter. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) connections also are supported.

By switching among location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network without manually reconfiguring your settings or restarting your computer. Access Connections also allows you to view and connect to Bluetooth devices and set Bluetooth security options.
