Wireless LAN Modes
There are two kinds of wireless LAN modes: Infrastructure mode and Ad Hoc mode.
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network in which wireless devices
communicate with each other through an access point (AP). Wireless devices can
communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network through AP.
Ad Hoc Mode
Ad Hoc mode refers to a type of network that consists of multiple computers each
equipped with a wireless networking interface. Each computer can communicate
directly with other wireless enabled computers.
