### Wireless Network Connection Examples

Identify your wireless network connection type: Infrastructure mode, Ad-Hoc mode, or Wi-Fi Direct™ mode.

- Connected to a Computer with a Wireless LAN Access Point Router in the Network (Infrastructure Mode)
  This type of network has a wireless LAN central access point/router at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
- Connected to a Wireless Computer without a Wireless LAN Access Point Router in the Network (Ad-Hoc Mode)
  This type of network does not have a central wireless LAN access point/router. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending print data.
- Wi-Fi Direct
