4. Getting Started
There are basically two modes of networking.
• Infrastructure – using a Wireless Router such as the DI-514, or an
Access Point
• 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-650 wireless Cardbus adapters.
On the following page we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network using the DI-514.
The Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains
the following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be
comprised of other devices):
• A wireless Router - D-Link Air DI-514
• A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -
D-Link Air DWL-650
• A desktop computer with a wireless adapter -
D-Link Air DWL-520
• A desktop computer with an Ethernet adapter – D-Link DFE-530TX+
• A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-201
