Infrastructure Mode :
The difference between Infrastructure net-
work and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an
Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can
manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi-
tionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to
take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,
email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of
the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of
the Ad-hoc networking.
