The Network Type setting determines the architecture of your wireless network. You should select Access Point mode or Peer-to-Peer mode depending on your network type. The Access Point mode, which is most commonly used and is also known as "Infrastructure Mode", allows you to be connected wirelessly to an existing wired network through an Access Point. Peer-to-Peer mode, also known as "Ad-Hoc" mode is used to connect directly to another computer without an Access Point. For Peer-to-Peer connections, you will need to specify the frequency channel and SSID. 20
