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 WNA-2330 wireless network Cardbus 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 cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to
communicate.
