PowerLite 1810p/1815p ❏ Ad Hoc mode (computer-to-computer mode) lets you connect just one computer to the projector at a time; it's easy to set up, and the only equipment you need is a computer with a wireless (802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) network card or adapter, or a Macintosh with an AirPort® or AirPort Extreme card. When you connect to the projector in this mode, your connection to other wireless networks or devices is broken; you can connect to the projector only. ❏ Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) lets multiple computers access the projector at the same time and easily trade off control of the projector. To use Access Point mode, you need a wireless (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) access point or an AirPort Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and one or more computers with wireless network cards or adapters. Follow the instructions below for the mode you want to use. Note: To connect to the projector over a wireless network, your computer must be running Windows 2000 or XP. Your Mac must be running Mac OS X 10.3 or later. Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) is required to achieve transfer speeds up to 54Mbp/s on an 802.11a/g network. Ad Hoc mode (computer-to-computer mode) limits network connections to 11Mbp/s. This is a standard specification of 802.11g networking.
