Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with
wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure
mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate
wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in
order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g.,
fi
le servers, printers, databases).
