WLAN Adapter's to enable the wireless communication?
This is not necessary. IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter is Wi-Fi certified
which means that it will work well with differing brands of equipment as
long as the equipment is also Wi-Fi certified.
Bluetooth?
No, you can only connect the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other
IEEE802.11b equipment.
Typically, you can form a wireless network by connecting Access
Points. Different Access Points should have different channels. Every
devices connected to the network should have the same SSID. When
you are using Access Points, set the mode to "Infrastructure" mode.
Without Access Points, you can still build a network where adapters
communicate peer-to-peer using a shared SSID. When you are not
using Access Points, change the operating mode to be "802.11Ad
Hoc". To set the operating mode, click Start, Settings, System,
Wireless LAN Utility, then Config.
