For example, a simple ad hoc wireless network might consist of a laptop and a printer
communicating directly with one another.
Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple. Performance on these types of networks
can degrade if more than six devices are on the network.
Infrastructure networks
On an infrastructure network, devices, such as computers and printers, communicate
through a Wireless Access Point (WAP). WAPs act as routers or gateways on small
networks.
For example, a simple infrastructure wireless network might consist of a laptop and a
printer communicating through a WAP.
Mixed wired and wireless networks
Wireless devices often exist on a largely wired network.
In this case, a WAP is connected to the main network by an Ethernet cable plugged into
the WAP's WAN port. The WAP acts as the go-between for the wired devices and the
wireless devices. The wired devices communicate with the WAP over the Ethernet cable,
while the wireless devices communicate with the WAP over radio waves.
