1. Network Implementation Using The product

There are two possible types of wireless network configurations using the product:

(1) Infrastructure (wireless network using an Access Point)

Using the Client/Server or Master/Slave concept, an Access Point is used to link a wired network with wireless clients. Not only can the wireless clients access the wired network but they can also access each other via the Access Point. Multiple Access Points can be used in the same infrastructure network in order to extend the wireless network range or share the workload of handling more wireless clients.

(2) Ad-Hoc (wireless network not using an Access Point)

Since there is no Access Point to act as a link to a wired network, wireless network nodes can only access each other but cannot access a wired network or the Internet.
