Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure A-1) "Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network
connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device,
typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to­peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks
are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically
configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Figure A-1: Ad Hoc Mode Network

157

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-2) 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 WLAN in
order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).

Wireless LAN

Wired LAN

Access Point*

*An optional hub for a wired
LAN may be required depending
upon the type of access point used.

The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under
normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating System
that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

158

Wireless Network Considerations

• Intel WiFi Link 5300 device supports IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and

IEEE802.11n.

• The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII

bands.

• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same

2.4 GHz frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves does not occur
with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

• Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices

in IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent
disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be
powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or
where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.).
