Two Basic Operating Modes

The WG111U Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter can operate in the following two modes:

•Infrastructure Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices and computers communicate with each other by first going through an access point (AP). For example, this mode is used when computers in a house connect to an Access Point that is attached to a router that lets multiple computers share a single cable or DSL broadband Internet connection.

•Ad-Hoc Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP. For example, Ad-Hoc Mode is used when two Windows computers are configured with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them.
