Infrastructure Network
The infrastructure network uses an access point (or several access points) as a gateway,
linking the wireless network to a wired LAN. As a result, portable workstations or desktops on
your wireless network have access to all of the features of your wired LAN including e-mail,
Internet access, network printers and files server.
An Infrastructure wireless network consists of at least one Access Point connected to the
wired network infrastructure and a set of wireless end stations. The AP acts as a gateway,
linking the wireless network to a wired LAN. As a result, wireless stations have access to all
of the features of your wired LAN including e-mail, Internet, network printers and files server
access.
