Operating modes

There are two operating modes in WLAN:
infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two
kinds of communication: wireless devices are
connected to each other through a WLAN access
point device, or wireless devices are connected to a
wired LAN through a WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and
receive data directly with each other.
