D-Link DWL-G630 manual Getting Started, Wireless router D-Link AirPlus XtremeTM G DI-624

Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

￿Infrastructure – using an access point, or wireless 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-G630 Wireless Cardbus 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):
