There are two network types for your option when clicking the “Add” button
to add wireless adapter connection: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure is an application mode that integrates the wired and wireless
LAN architectures. It is different from Ad-Hoc in that in this mode the
computer installed with the wireless network adapter has to fulfill the
wireless communication via AP or wireless router. It can be devided into two
modes:“wireless AP + wireless network adapter” and “wireless router +
wireless network adapter”.
Ad-Hoc is a special wireless mobile network application mode. All nodes in
the network are equal.Usually it is used to share resources by connecting the
opposing computer’s wireless adapter.
