Operating modes
There are two operating modes in Wi-Fi WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc.

devices are connected to a wired LAN through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive data directly with each
other.

how often the device searches for available WLANs and updates the indicator.
