### When to use them  <a href="#when-to-use-them" id="when-to-use-them"></a>

[Mimic mode](/wifi-pineapple-pager/pineapple-open-ap.md) allows the Pineapple to respond for multiple network names from a single AP.

Combined with [filters](/wifi-pineapple-pager/pineapple-open-ap.md#pineapple-filters), mimic mode is a core method for capturing clients.

These commands are very useful for controlling the behavior of the open access point while configuring filters.

PINEAPPLE_MIMIC_DISABLE
