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-G650 wireless network 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):

„A wireless Router - D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DI-624

„A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -

„A desktop computer with a wireless adapter -

(D-LinkAir devices have speeds up to 11Mbps)
