Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode needs an access point to establish the network, which can provide wireless
accesses within valid range for users to communicate with others or transmit data with a wired
network. There are several benefits of Infrastructure networking:
√ Roaming: a wireless LAN enabled computer can physically move from the operating range of one
access point to the other without losing connection. There is a quick association made between
new access point and wireless device as the computer traverses from the coverage of one access
point to another.
√ Range Extension: each wireless LAN enabled computer within the range of access point can
communicate with other wireless LAN enabled computers within the effective range from the
access point.
√ Wired to wireless LAN connection: the access point will establish a bridge between wireless LAN
and other wired counterparts.
