Getting Started - D-Link Air Xpert DWL-AG650 Manual

Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:
!
Infrastructure – using an Access Point, or Wireless Router,
such as the DWL-7000AP.
!
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-AG650 wireless
network Cardbus adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
