Operating modes
There are two operating modes in WLAN: infrastructure and
ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices are connected to each
other through a WLAN access point device, or wireless devices
are connected to a wired LAN through a WLAN access point
device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive
data directly with each other.
Wireless LAN settings
In the wireless LAN (WLAN) settings, you can define whether
the WLAN indicator is displayed when a network is available
and how often the network is scanned. You can also define
whether and how the internet connectivity test is performed,
and view advanced WLAN settings.
