Infrastructure mode is used by wireless access points, which is able to establish wireless connection for you and other wireless/wired network clients. Ad-Hoc mode is also know as ‘point-to-point’ mode, and in this mode, wireless devices such as computer or PDA will not be capable to establish wireless connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing a one-to-one wireless connection between two wireless devices.
