There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure

– using an Access Point or Router, such as

the DI-614+

Ad-Hoc

– directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-

peer communication, using wireless network adapters on

each computer, such as two or more DWL-610 wireless
network adapters.

On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network
and an Ad-Hoc Network.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or Router. The Infrastructure
Network
example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network
devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):
