Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired
network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can
communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode
because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers,
printers, and databases.
