Getting Started - D-Link DWL-G520 Manual

Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an Access Point, or Wireless Router,
such as the DI-624+.
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-
peer communication, using wireless network adapters on
each computer, such as two or more DWL-G520+ wireless
network PCI adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or a Wireless Router.
