Appendix B - Wireless Basics

Security

Don’t let your next-door neighbors or unwanted intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless

network by turning on the WEP or WPA security feature on the access point. Refer to the section “Wireless Security”

in this manual for detailed information on how to set it up.

There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless

network adapters on each computer.

An Infrastructure network contains an AP or a wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the

wireless router or the AP.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in

Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
