DWL-G650M User’s Manual Installation Considerations Installation Considerations The DWL-G650M lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
DWL-G650M User’s Manual Getting Started Getting Started There are basically two modes of networking: Infrastructure – using an access point or router, such as the DI-624M. Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DWL-G650M Wireless Network adapters. On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
