b) 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. The image below depicts a network in
infrastructure mode.
