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

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.
