24.2 Operating Modes
In wireless networking, various techniques and congurations are used to ensure fast,
high-quality, and secure connections. Different operating types suit different setups. It
can be difcult to choose the right authentication method. The available encryption
methods have different advantages and pitfalls.
Basically, wireless networks can be classied into three network modes:
Managed Mode (Infrastructure Mode), via Access Point
Managed networks have a managing element: the access point. In this mode (also
referred to as infrastructure mode), all connections of the WLAN stations in the
network run through the access point, which may also serve as a connection to an
ethernet. To make sure only authorized stations can connect, various authentication
mechanisms (WPA, etc) are used.
Ad-hoc Mode (Peer-to-Peer Network)
Ad-hoc networks do not have an access point. The stations communicate directly
with each other, therefore an ad-hoc network is usually faster than a managed net-
