There are two operating modes in WLAN:

 

infrastructure and ad hoc.

 

The infrastructure operating mode allows two

 

kinds of communication: wireless devices are

 

connected to each other through a WLAN access

 

point device, or wireless devices are connected to a

 

wired LAN through a WLAN access point device.

 

In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and

 

receive data directly with each other.
