Operating modes
There are two operating modes in Wi-Fi WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication: wireless devices
are connected to each other through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point device, or wireless
devices are connected to a wired LAN through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive data directly with each
other.
