Tenda Wireless Network Adapter User Guide
Infrastructure: In an infrastructure mode network the wireless adapter
needs a wireless access point or a wireless router for communication.
All wireless nodes in an infrastructure mode network connect to an
access point or a wireless router.
Ad-hoc: A wireless ad hoc network does not rely on a preexisting
infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in
managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. It typically refers to
any set of networks where all devices have equal status on a
network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network
device in link range in peer to peer communication mode.
