4.1.
The Types of Wireless LAN
4.1.1.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure is a network connection mode that allows communication between
wireless LAN devices or between the wireless LAN and the wired LAN (Ethernet)
through the Access Point (AP). When a network type is set to infrastructure,
communication with wired LAN via AP is possible, which allows both wired and
wireless Internet communications.
4.1.2.
Ad-hoc
The ad-hoc network is designed to communicate between wireless LANs without any
AP. Since communication is established without any AP, the user cannot access an
external network or the Internet. This is also called a peer-to-peer mode.
