Appendix A - Wireless Basics

There are basically two 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.

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.
