The Dell 2335dn, Dell 2355dn, and Dell 5330 supports two standard wireless

: In Infrastructure mode, wireless
devices or workstations communicate with each other through an access
point (AP). In Infrastructure, wireless works after existing LAN cable
connection to the printer is unplug. (i.e. un-plug LAN cable when using
access point)
