In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to
the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data
back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet.
With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like

5 Wireless Modes

There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure — All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
Ad-hoc —Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication,
using wireless network adapters on each computer.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices
or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access point.
An Ad-hoc network contains only clients, such as wireless adapters. All the adapters must be in
Ad-hoc mode to communicate.
