Operating modes

There are two operating modes in WLAN:

infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of

communication: wireless devices are connected to

each other through a WLAN access point device, or

wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through

a WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and

receive data directly with each other.
