Operating modes

There are two operating modes in Wi-Fi

WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows

two kinds of communication: wireless

devices are connected to each other

through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point

device, or wireless 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.

Wireless LAN settings

In the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) settings, you

can define whether the Wi-Fi indicator is

displayed when a network is available and

how often the network is scanned. You

can also define whether and how the

internet connectivity test is performed,

and view advanced Wi-Fi settings.
