Question: What is infrastructure mode in wireless networking? Answer: Infrastructure mode wireless networking bridges (joins) a wireless network to a wired Ethernet network. Infrastructure mode wireless also supports central connection points for WLAN clients. A wireless access point (AP) is required for infrastructure mode wireless networking. To join the WLAN, the AP and all wireless clients must be configured to use the same SSID. The AP is then cabled to the wired network to allow wireless clients access to, for example, Internet connections or printers. Additional APs can be added to the WLAN to increase the reach of the infrastructure and support any number of wireless clients. Compared to the alternative, ad-hoc wireless networks, infrastructure mode networks offer the advantage of scalability, centralized security management and improved reach. The disadvantage of infrastructure wireless networks is simply the additional cost to purchase AP hardware. Note that home wireless routers all feature a built-in AP to support infrastructure mode.

Hello all, I've been having trouble connecting LG BD670 (smart blu-ray player) wirelessly to my new wireless gateway. It used to work with my d-link router after changing a few settings that I don't...

Your internet service provider will be able to help you set your modem and router properly to share your internet. In my case, my internet is a ppoe which requires a user name and password. I set my modem to bridged mode, set my router for ppoe with user and pass entered then set up the wireless. Hope this helps.

How do you connect the new PSP Go to Linksys WRT300N router?

On the PSP make sure the WLAN Switch is turned on. To connect to your router, go to System Settings > Network Settings > Infrastructure Mode then select the Network that you want to connect. If it's Linksys, select Linksys and press X. Select Scan and choose the wireless network and Enter. If it asks you for network key, type your wireless network key and connect. That should do it.

Linksys WGA54G ver.1 cannot find

Hi,

Try to use the game adapter as your wireless adapter to test if it is still working. Connect the game adapter to your PC and then configure it manually. Assign a static IP address on your PC same range as your game adapter and then configure the wireless settings same as your router. the Default IP address of the game adapter is 192.168.1..250.

Wireless printing

hi vlewis, if you are trying to print directly from your Pavillion to your Officejet wirelessly, you should set an AdHoc type of connection. but if you have a wireless router that you are connecting to, you should have an Infrastructure type of wireless connection. here are some key points you may need to look at.

AdHoc (PC to Computer wireless printing)

1.make sure that the wireless adapter on both devices are turned on.
2.the wireless network name or the SSID should be the same with both devices.
3.you will have to set the same wireless security (like WEP or WPA depending on the capability of the devices)
4.install the printer drivers and utility and make sure that your printer utility shows connection to the computer

i will follow this one up for infrastructure.

Linksys WRT150N

Hi there,

I only have 3 suggestions.

1st one is to make sure the ssid is not similar to other routers you are using on your profile. ie.(change it to a unique name)

2nd is to make sure you check the box that says broadcast your ssid.

3rd check to make sure you select the router as an access point and not adhoc or infrastructure option. Finally you can try to change the channels eg. i like channel 3 b/c it doesnt interfere with any phone lines.

good luck
