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-AG530 Wireless PCI 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):

A wireless router - D-Link AirPremierTM AG DI-784

A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -

D-Link Air PremierTM AG DWL-AG660

A desktop computer with a wireless adapter -

D-Link Air PremierTM AG DWL-AG530

A ADSL modem - D-LinkDSL-300T

*Due to DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection), 5GHz Ad-Hoc mode is always disable in EEC countries.
