Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this
mode, all wireless communications between two computers have to be via
the AP no matter the AP is wired to Ethernet network or stand-alone.
If wired to an Ethernet network as shown in
Figure 1-4
, the AP serves as a
bridge and provides the link between the server and the wireless clients.
The wireless clients can move freely throughout the coverage area of the
AP while remaining connected to the server. Since the AP is connected to
the wired network, each client would have access to server resources as
well as to other clients.
