D-Link DWL-G120 manual Getting Started

Getting Started

With its default settings, the DWL-G120 will connect with other D-Link AirPlusTM G products, right out of the box.

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure – using an access point or router, such as the DI-624.

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-G120 Wireless USB 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):
