Network Topology
Awireless local area network (liILAN) is exactly like a regularlocal area network (LAN), exceptthatea:h
computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connlcl to the network. Computers inaWLAN share the same
frequency channel and SSID,which is en idenufication name shared by the wireless devices belontjng lo the
some wileless rtetwork.
Ad-Hoc versus hfrastructure Mode
Unlike wired networks, wireless networks hm two dilferont mode: h which they may be set up intrastructue
and ail-hrs. An iilrastructu re configuration is r wow and wired LAN coniinllnitflting to each otllerthlougll an
access innt. An ad-hoc configuration is wireless-equipped computers communicating directly with each other.
choosing between these tlluo modes depends on whether or rottl'e Wireless network needs to share data or
peripherals with a wireri network or no;
lithe computers on the Wireless network need to be accessible by a Wired network or need to share a peripheral,
such as a printer. With the Wired network computers, the Wirdess network should be set up irl Inirastnlctule
mode. The basis of Infrastructure mode centers around a Wireless route'or an access point, such as the
Wireless N Gigahlt Gaming Router, Whlth serves asthe main point ofcommunlcatlom in a w'reless network. ‘Ihe
Router transmits data to P55 eqlipped With wireless networkadapters, whim can roam within a certain radial
range ofthe Router. Vou can arange the Router and multiple access points to work in succession to extend the
roaming range, ml you can set up you' WII’elES network to mmmunlcate vulthyour Etherna hardwale as Well.
Ifthe wireless network is relatively small and needs I: share resources only with the other computers on the
wireless network, then the Ad-lloc mode can he used. Ad-Hot mode allows computers equipped Withwueies
transmitters and receivers to cummunic e directlywilh eachother. eliminatingthe need for a wireless router or
access print The drawback olthis mode is that in Ad.Hoc mtde, wireless-equipped computers are nct able to
communicate wth computers in a wind network. And, of course, communication between the wireless-
equipped computers is limited oythe distance and interterente directly betwee'l them.
