2.3.1 Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an Access Point (AP). In this mode, all wireless
communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn't matter if the AP is
stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the
range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the
distance between wireless stations.
