Types of Wireless LAN Connections
The types of wireless LAN connections are as follows.
The following describes how to use the wireless LAN
based on AP connections.
■ AP Connections
You can connect to the Internet or a computer on
the network by connecting to AP on an AP-enabled
network.
What is Access Point (AP)?
AP is a network device that connects wired LAN to
wireless LAN and corresponds to the wireless hub of
a wired network. Also, AP allows you to connect more
than one computer where wireless LAN is enabled.
■ Small Office Network
The small office network interconnects computers
where wireless LAN is enabled wirelessly and is called
Peer-to-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method enables the
configuration of a small office network in one computer.
Then, another computer is connected to the computer
wirelessly for communications.
For more information on how to establish connections,
