1.3 Application Overview
This section describes some network applications for the NWD-270N. You can either set the
network type to Infrastructure and connect to an AP or use Ad-Hoc mode and connect to a
peer computer (another wireless device in Ad-Hoc mode).
1.3.1 Infrastructure
To connect to a network via an access point (AP), set the NWD-270N network type to
Infrastructure (see
Chapter 4 on page 53 ). Through the AP, you can access the Internet or the
wired network behind the AP.

1.3.2 Ad-Hoc
To set up a small independent wireless workgroup without an AP, use Ad-Hoc (see Chapter 4
on page 53 ).
Ad-Hoc does not require an AP or a wired network. Two or more wireless clients
communicate directly with each other.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is not available in ad-hoc mode.
