Type of radio network
A radio network or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)
is created when at least two computers, printers or other
peripheral devices communicate with each other in a
network via radio waves (high frequency waves). The
transmission of data in the radio network is based on the
standards 802.11b and 802.11g. According to how the
network is set up, it may be described as an infrastructure
network or an ad-hoc network.

Radio infrastructure network
In an infrastructure network, several devices
communicate via a central access point (a gateway or
router). All data is sent to the access point (gateway or
router) from where it is re-distributed.

Radio ad-hoc network
In an ad-hoc network, the devices communicate directly
with each other without passing through an access point.
The speed of communication across the whole radio
network is as fast as the weakest connection in the
network. The speed of communication is also dependent
on spatial distance between transmitter and receiver, as
well as the number of barriers, such as walls or ceilings.
Radio networks (WLAN)
Three steps are necessary to incorporate your machine
into a radio network (WLAN):
