Getting Started - D-Link DWL-AG520 Manual

Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:
!
Infrastructure – using an Access Point or Wireless Router,
such as the DWL-7000AP or DI-774.
!
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-AG520 wireless
network PCI adapters.
