11.3. Supporting the theory 
-Mode Network WLAN 
Wireless Local Area Network is actually almost the same as the LAN network, but each node on the WLAN using a wireless device to connect ith network. nodes in the WLAN using the same frequency channel and SSID that shows the identity of the wireless device. 
Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two modes that can be used: infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.Configuration is a communication infrastructure between each PC with a WLAN access point or LAN. 
Communications Ad-Hoc is a direct communication between each computer using wireless devices. The use of these two modes depending on the requirement to share data or other needs with the wired network.
A. Ad-Hoc Mode 
Ad-Hoc mode WLAN network is very simple, because the ad-hoc does not require an access point for the hosts can interact with each other. Each host has enough wireless transmitter and receiver to communicate directly with each other as shown in figure 1. The drawback of this mode is the computer can not communicate with computers on a wired network. In addition, the coverage area in this mode is limited to the distance between the two computers. 
B. Infrastructure Mode 
If the computer on the wireless network to access the wired network or shared printer, for example, the wireless network must use the infrastructure mode. 
In infrastructure mode access point function to serve the primary communication on wireless networks. The access point transmits the data to the PC with a specific range in an area. Additions and layout settings access point can extend the range of the WLAN. 
a. WLAN Components 
There are four main components in WLAN, namely:

1. 1. Access Point, a device that becomes the central connection of the user (users) to the ISP, or from branch offices to the central office if the network is owned by a company. Access-Point function to convert the radio frequency (RF) signals into digital signals to be routed through the cable, or distributed to any other WLAN device to re-converted into radio frequency signals.
2. 2.Wireless LAN Interface, is the equipment installed in the Mobile / Desktop PC, equipment developed mass is in the form of PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) card, PCI card or via USB (Universal Serial Bus).
3. 3. Mobile / Desktop PC, an access device for the user, the mobile PC is generally mounted PCMCIA port to be added while the desktop PC wireless adapter with PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) card or USB (Universal Serial Bus).
4. 4. External antenna (optional) is used to amplify the transmit power. This antenna can be assembled by the user. example: antenna.
5. Relatively the Access-Point is able to accommodate a few to hundreds of users simultaneously. Some vendors only recommend a dozen to about 40 of the users to the Access Point. Although in theory this device can accommodate a lot but it will happen because of the declining performance RF signal itself and the strength of the Access Point operating system.
6. Logic component of the Access Point is an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identification) is the standard of IEEE 802.11. Users must connect the wireless adapter to the Access Point with specific SSIDs so that data transfer can occur. ESSID become standard authentication in wireless communications. In terms of security of some specific vendors to make certain key authentication to authenticate from the client to the Access Point.
7. Fragility of the security aspect makes issuing standardized IEEE Wireless encryption protocol (WEP), an existing application in any PCMCIA card. Serves WEP encrypts data before it is transferred to the radio signal requency (RF), and to decrypt the data back from the RF signal.

11.4. The experiment measures 
infrastr Mode 
To communicate 2 computers or more in infrastructure mode, all computers will be connected to the wireless network must have a wireless 
adapter or laptop has Wi-Fi and Access Point. Here are step-by-step installation and configuration: 
Access Point Configuration 11.4.1 
In this section will describe the installation of the access point. 
steps - steps are as follows:

1. Place the Access Point at the optimum point, usually located in the midst and the line of sight with PCs and wireless accessories (adapter and router).
2. Place the antenna in a position where the antenna capable wireless network mengover well. Normally, the best performance is the antenna located on a higher ground.
3. Connect the AC power adapter into a power socket Access Point
4. Connect the straight end of the UTP cable to the Access Point and the other end of the cable to the switch.
5. Klik Start, Connect To, lalu pilih Show All Connection pada komputer.
6. Right-click on Local Area Connection and select Status
7. Click Properties in the Local Area Connection Status, then click Properties on the Internet Protocol TCP / IP.
8. Setting your computer's IP address with the IP 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 subnet mask and default gateway is 192.168.1.1
9. Open net browser (Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla) and make sure your browser's proxy in the empty net.
10. Type 192.168.1.1 in the browser's Address field net. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the Access Point is Linksys.
11. Type admin in the username and the password (the default username and password Access Point Linksys is admin)
12. Settings tab setup like this was taken:
