The ad hoc communication mode defaults to 802.11b. Follow these [...]

For an in-depth explanation of network names, see the network names page . Wireless profiles A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network. A wireless device might have wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wir[...]

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 commonly act as routers or gateways on small networks.[...]

For example, a mixed wired and wireless network may consist of the following: • Several desktop computers • A WAP connected to an Ethernet network • A printer connected wirelessly to the WAP In order to use the printer, a desktop PC sends a print job over the Ethernet cable to the WAP. The WAP then wirelessly transmits the print job to the pr[...]
