The most obvious difference between
Infrastructure
wireless network
and
Ad Hoc
wireless network is that the PCs in
Infrastructure
wireless
network can access the resource in the Internet through
Access Point
.
Depending on your requirement, you can easily set up your PC’s
network to be a “
Ad Hoc
” or “
Infrastructure
” wireless network. Generally
speaking, if in your network, there is an
Access Point
in it, we recommend
you to set your network as an “
Infrastructure
”, so it can connect to
the
Internet
.
