Creating an ad hoc wireless network
Lexmark recommends that you set up your wireless network using a wireless access point (wireless router). A
network set up this way is called an infrastructure network and has:
Increased network security
Increased reliability
Faster performance
Easier setup
You can also set up a wireless network without a wireless access point (wireless router). This is called an ad hoc
network.
