Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

nInfrastructure - using an Access Point or Wireless Router, such as the DWL-7000AP or DI-774.

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-AG650 wireless network Cardbus adapters.

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