Wireless LAN network dened by IEEE 802.11b/g standard committee could be
congured as:
• Ad Hoc wireless LAN.

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