Appendix A - Wireless Basics
There are basically two modes of networking:
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each
computer, such as two or more DIR-615 wireless network adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the
wireless router or access point.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode
in order to communicate.
