There are basically two modes of networking.

Infrastructure – using a Wireless Router such as the DI-514, or an Access Point

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-650 wireless Cardbus adapters.
