Connecting the NP5410 to Your Network There are two network scenarios as below: Ad-hoc Networking Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is one that allows all workstations and computers in the network to act as servers to all other users on the network. Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. However, with ad-hoc networking, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in the same wir

Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc networking: Extended range: Each wireless LAN computer within the range of the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN computers within range of the access point. Roaming: The access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move through a building and still be connected to the LAN. Wired to wireless LAN connectivity: The access point bridges the gap between wireless LANs and their wired counterparts. www.netcomm.com.
