Network Configurations

 
  network1
 
In the Station to Access Point WiFi Network Topology, the data packets travel from a node to a collection point. The network paths are determined by the operation before acquisition starts. This makes the network extremely fast.
  With the WiFi Mesh Network Topology, the data packets travel from node to node. The nodes determine the optimum path and configure the network. This makes the network extremely robust.
