Getting Started
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and
an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router. The
Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains the following
D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):
A wireless router - D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DI-624
An Apple
®
PowerBook with a wireless adapter -
D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G650X
A cable modem - D-Link DCM-201
There are basically two modes of networking:
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for Peer-to-Peer
communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer,
such as two or more DWL-G650X Wireless Cardbus Adapters.
Infrastructure – connecting to an access point, or wireless router,
such as the DI-624.
