Plan the Network 

An infrastructure network is formed by several stations (WWBs or WECs) and one 

or more Access Points (APs), with the stations (WWB or WEC) within a set 

distance from the AP.    Figure 1 depicts a typical infrastructure network topology. 

There are three infrastructure network setups that are commonly used.    It is a 

good idea to understand the possible network setups and configuration 

requirements before planning your wireless network. 

Type 1. 

The simplest wireless infrastructure network is composed of one AP 

and a few wireless stations communicating via radio waves (Figure 1).   

This setup enables mobile stations to communicate with each other.   

The main benefit of this type of network is to extend the range of the 

network.    If an AP is placed between the stations, the radio 

transmission distance is effectively doubled since Wireless 

Computer-1 can talk to Wireless Computer-2 through the AP.    The 

drawback of this configuration is that the effective bandwidth is 

halved since all communication is relayed by the AP.   

 

Type 2. 

The next simplest wireless network is very similar to the Type 1
