Infrastructure Mode

1. What is Infrastructure mode?

Infrastructure mode, sometimes referred to as Access Point mode, is an operating mode of an 802.11b/Wi-Fi client unit. In infrastructure mode, the client unit can associate with an 802.11b/Wi-Fi Access Point and communicate with other clients in infrastructure mode through that access point.
