D-Link DIR-895L User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on

the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

There are basically two modes of networking:

•

Infrastructure

– All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

•

Ad-hoc

– Directly connecting to another computer for peer-to-peer communication using wireless network

adapters on each computer, such as two or more DIR-895L wireless network CardBus adapters.

An Infrastructure network contains an access point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the

wireless router or access point.

An Ad-hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless CardBus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-hoc

mode to communicate.
