There are two kinds of wireless connection mode: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Infrastructure mode
is used by wireless access points, which is able to establish wireless connection for you and other
wireless / wired network clients. Ad-Hoc mode is also known as ‘
point-to-Point
’ mode, and in
this mode, wireless devices such as computer or PDA will not be able to establish wireless
connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing a one-to-one
wireless connection between two wireless devices.
Before you can connect to any wireless access point or device by infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode,
there are two things you must know:
Wireless device’s ‘
SSID
’ (Service Set Identifier, some will call it
access point
’s name.
You can scan for the SSID of other wireless devices nearby, but if the SSID of the wireless device
you wish to connect is hidden, you must know exact SSID before you can establish connection
with it.
If the wireless device you wish to connect uses encryption, you must know its encryption key.
