Wireless communication modes

You can use one of two wireless communication modes: infrastructure or ad-hoc.

Infrastructure wireless
network (recommended)

The product communicates with other devices on the network through a wireless router.

Ad-hoc wireless network

The product communicates directly with other wireless devices without using a wireless router.

All devices on the ad hoc network must have the following:

802.11b/g compatibility

The same SSID

The same subnet and channel

The same 802.11 security settings

Wireless security

To make your wireless network easy to distinguish from other wireless networks, use a unique network
name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have a default network name, which
is typically the manufacturer's name. For information on how to change the network name, see the
documentation that came with the wireless router.
