Security

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

on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail 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, such as two or more DWA-547 wireless network wireless desktop

adapters.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect

to the wireless router or access point.

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

Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
