Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks together.
Ad Hoc
An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected as an
independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch

Gateway
A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar systems, such as a
LAN and a mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway is another name for a router.
Generally a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet.
