Types of Wireless LAN Connections

The types of wireless LAN connections are as follows. The following describes how to use the wireless LAN based on AP connections.

AP Connections

You can connect to the Internet or a computer on the network by connecting to AP on an AP-enabled network.

What is Access Point (AP)?

AP is a network device that connects wired LAN to wireless LAN and corresponds to the wireless hub of a wired network. Also, AP allows you to connect more than one computer where wireless LAN is enabled.

Small Office Network

The small office network interconnects computers where wireless LAN is enabled wirelessly and is called Peer- to-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method enables the configuration of a small office network in one computer.

Then, another computer is connected to the computer wirelessly for communications.

For more information on how to establish connections, see the information from Start > Help and Support > Networking and Web.

When you use Ad-Hoc, you have to change the McAfee Firewall settings. 168
