Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

￿Infrastructure – using an access point or wireless router such as the DWL-7100AP.

￿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-AG660 Wireless 108Mbps Cardbus Adapters.

On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.

An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router. The Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):
