Infrastructure: In an infrastructure mode network the wireless adapter needs a wireless access point or a wireless router for communication. All wireless nodes in an infrastructure mode network connect to an access point or a wireless router.

Ad-hoc: A wireless ad hoc network does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. It typically refers to any set of networks where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network device in link range in peer to peer communication mode.

4.4.1 Proile Set Up for Infrastructure Mode

If you plan to connect your wireless adapter to an existing wireless AP or wireless router, please select the Infrastructure mode.

Setting up infrastructure mode for wireless connectivity is not that hard, all we need is to follow below instructions:

1. Click Add and select Infrastructure from the appearing dialog box appear.

2. Specify a proile name and the SSID (wireless network name) you wish to connect.

3. Specify the authentication mode and encryption mode, say, "WPA—PSK" and "AES".

4. Enter the security key and click Save.

Appendix 2 Glossary

802.11ac: IEEE 802.11ac is a wireless computer networking standard of 802.11, currently under development, providing high-throughput wireless local area networks on the 5 GHz band. Theoretically, this specification will enable multi-station WLAN throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second and a maximum single link throughput of at least 500 megabits per second (500 Mbit/s).

802.11a: 802.11a is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that added a higher data rate of up to 54 Mbit/s using the 5 GHz band.

802.11b: 802.11b, is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking specification that extends throughput up to 11 Mbit/s using the same 2.4 GHz band.

802.11e: 802.11e is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard that deines a set of Quality of Service enhancements for wireless LAN applications through modifications to the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The standard is considered of critical importance for delay-sensitive applications, such as Voice over Wireless LAN and streaming multimedia.

802.11g: 802.11g is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that extended throughput to up to 54 Mbit/s using the same 2.4 GHz band as 802.11b.

802.11h: 802.11h, refers to the amendment added to the IEEE 802.11 standard for Spectrum and Transmit Power Management Extensions. It solves problems like interference with satellites and radar using the same 5 GHz frequency band. It was originally designed to address European regulations but is now applicable in many other countries.

802.11i: 802.11i, implemented as WPA2, is an amendment to the original IEEE 802.11.
802.11j: 802.11j is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard designed specially for Japanese market.
802.11n: 802.11n is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard, which improves network throughput over the two previous standards—802.11a and 802.11g—with a significant increase in the maximum net data rate. 802.11n standardized support for multiple-input multiple-output and frame aggregation, and security improvements, among other features.
IEEE 802.15: IEEE 802.15 is a working group of the IEEE 802 standards committee which specifies Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standards. It includes seven task groups. Task group one is based on Bluetooth technology.
IEEE 802.16: IEEE 802.16 is a series of Wireless Broadband standards authored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Although the 802.16 family of standards is officially called Wireless MAN in IEEE, it has been commercialized under the name “WiMAX” (from "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access") by the WiMAX Forum industry alliance.
802.16a: 802.16a, also known as WiMAX, extends throughput up to 70Mbit/s transmission rate within the distance of 30 miles.
802.20: Delivers 1Mbit/s throughput for wireless MAN (Metropolitan area network).
IEEE 802.1X: IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to

attach to a LAN or WLAN.IEEE 802.1X deines the encapsulation of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over IEEE 802 which is known as "EAP over LAN" or EAPOL.

WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. Introduced as part of the original 802.11 standard, its intention was to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network.

WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance deined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and intended as an intermediate solution to WEP insecurities.

RSN: The Wi-Fi Alliance refers to their approved, interoperable implementation of the full 802.11i as WPA2, also called RSN (Robust Security Network). RSN, based on 802.1x, is introduced to supersede the security specification, WPA.
