Infrastructure Mode 

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an Access Point (AP). In this mode, 
all wireless communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It 
doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used 
in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by 
acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the distance between wireless 
stations.
