b) Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless communication between
two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used
in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively
doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below depicts a network in infrastructure mode.
