14 1.7. Network Configuration To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as: a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs. b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs. a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with the PC

15 b) Infrastructure Mode The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below depicts a network in infrastructure mode.
