Introduction >>> 1.1 PC54G (MS-6825) - Wireless 11g PCI Card PC54G (MS-6825) Wireless 11g PCI Card, compliant with IEEE802.11g, is a high-efficiency wireless adapter for wireless networking at home, in office or in public places. The data transmission rate can be up to 54 Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6 Mbps (IEEE802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps (IEEE802.11b).
>>> 1.2 How PC54G (MS-6825) works Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections. Therefore, some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared Gateway or Access Point.
Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In network environment, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Moreover, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing.
