Network structures

The following article deals with the setting up of various network structures using access
points and clients. A client is also an access point in client mode.
Standalone configuration with access point
This configuration does not require a server and the access point does not have a
connection to a wired Ethernet. Within its transmission range, the access point forwards data
from one WLAN node to another.
The wireless network has a unique name. All the devices exchanging data within this
network must be configured with this name.
