There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure
– using an Access Point or Router, such as the DI-614+.
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-122 wireless USB adapters.

Infrastructure
Network

Ad-Hoc Network
