D-Link DWL-610 manual Getting Started

Getting Started

With its default settings, the DWL-610, when activated, will connect with other D-Link Air products, right out of the box.

There are basically two modes of networking:

nInfrastructure – using an Access Point or Router, such as the DI-614+

nAd-Hoc– directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to- peer communication, using wireless network adapters on

each computer, such as two or more DWL-610 wireless network 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 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):

nA wireless Router - D-LinkAirPlus DI-614+

nA laptop computer with a wireless adapter -
