The following part will depict the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations, 

which helps you to get a better understanding of how the wireless LAN products work 

together in a wireless network. 

The wireless LAN products can be configured as: 

This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with the PC 

Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In 

ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to- peer, would only have access to the resources of the 

other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive 

way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network.   

The image below depicts a network in ad-hoc mode. 

 

Figure 1-1 Ad-hoc mode. 

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless 

communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is 

stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the 

range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the 

distance between wireless stations.
