Wireless LAN terms and concepts

There are two types of Wireless networks: Infrastructure mode and
Ad-hoc

Infrastructure Mode

Infrastructure mode networks have a central Access point/Base
station at the heart of the network. The Access point/Base station
can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the
Brother wireless device is set in this mode, it receives all print jobs
via an access point.
