could be configured as :
Ad Hoc wireless LAN.
Infrastructure wireless LAN.

Ad Hoc Wireless Network Infrastructure Wireless Network
The most obvious difference between Infrastructure wireless network
and Ad Hoc wireless network is that the PCs in Infrastructure wireless
network can access the resource in the Internet through Access Point.
Depending on your requirement, you can easily set up your PC’s
network to be a “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure” wireless network. Generally
speaking, if in your network, there is an Access Point in it, we recommend
you to set your network as an “Infrastructure”, so it can connect to
the Internet.
