signals can provide wireless users with seamless network access.
The Infrastructure mode is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to a central database or
provides various wireless applications for mobile users.
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS can be
configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous wireless network connectivity allows
users to roam freely within an ESS. All wireless clients using WL-U356 or other IEEE 802.11b
compliant wireless adapters within one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID and to use
the same radio channel.
Before adopting an ESS with roaming capability, choosing an available radio channel with less
interference is highly recommended. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear radio
channel will greatly enhance performance.
Ad-Hoc
Still complaining about the high price of wireless access points? This mode is the easiest and
cost-effective way to meet your requirements. It enables you to construct wireless networking in no
time without any access point.
Ad-hoc mode is a wireless network type in which a group of computers equipped with WL-U356 or
other wireless adapters are connected together to form an independent wireless LAN. All computers
operating in this mode must be configured to share the same radio channel.
In this scenario, new devices can be quickly added; however, wireless stations can only
communicate with the other peers that belong to the same IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set).
