Infrastructure Mode
In the Infrastructure Mode, client computers can access to the equipment through a wireless network via an Access Point.
The Infrastructure Mode is suitable for the wireless network that many client computers are connected at the same time.
The Access Point will be required to establish the wireless network in the Infrastructure Mode.
Ad Hoc Mode
In the Ad Hoc Mode, client computers can access to the equipment directory through a wireless network without an
Access Point. The Ad Hoc Mode is not suitable for the wireless network that many computers are connected, however, it
is easy to establish the wireless network because the Access Point is not required.
