What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode is a profile setting that provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity. In Ad-
Hoc mode you can connect to other WLAN enabled devices without the need of an access
point.
What is Network Infrastructure mode?
Network Infrastructure mode is a client setting providing connectivity to an Access Point. As
compared to Ad-Hoc mode, whereby devices communicate directly with each other, a Profile
set in Infrastructure Mode must pass data through a central Access Point. The Access Point
not only mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood, but also provides
communication with the wired network.
PCs communicate directly with each other; clients set in Infrastructure mode all pass data
through a central Access Point. The Access Point not only mediates wireless network traffic in
the immediate neighborhood, but also provides communication with the wired network.
What are the requirements for WLAN connectivity?
A standard WLAN infrastructure (access points), other Bluetooth enabled devices, separately
purchased equipment and a service contract with a wireless airtime provider may be
required for applicable wireless communication. Wireless Internet use requires a separately
purchased service contract. Check with a service provider for availability and coverage in
your area. Not all Web content available.
