Wireless Networking Overview

You can use the ZoomAir USB Client in two types of networks, AdHoc (also called Peer-to-Peer) or Infrastructure. This Appendix explains the basic difference between the two.

AdHoc vs. Infrastructure

A network is a group of individual computers called “clients” connected together so that they can share information, an Internet connection, printers, and other resources. A network can be wired, wireless, or a combination of the two.

The simplest wireless network is called a peer-to-peer“ or

adhoc” network. In a peer-to-peer network, each client computer communicates directly with every other client computer on the network.

To set up a peer-to-peer network, all you need are two or more computers equipped with wireless networking devices. The downside of a peer-to-peer network is that the number of users and the range are somewhat limited.
