Appendix A - Wireless Basics
There are two basic modes of networking: 
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network 
adapters on each computer such as two or more DWM-140 wireless network USB adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the 
wireless router or access point. 
An ad-hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc 
mode to communicate.
