Ad Hoc Wireless Network Infrastructure Wireless Network
The most obvious difference between an Infrastructure wireless
network and an Ad Hoc wireless network is the Infrastructure wireless
network can access the resource in the Internet through an Access Point.
Depending on your requirement, you can easily set up your system
network to be an “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure” wireless network.
Generally speaking, if in your network, there is an Access Point in it, we
recommend you to set your network as an “Infrastructure”, so it can
connect to the Internet.
