Below the \acronym{SSID} is a \textfield{Mode} field. The ``Infrastructure'' mode means that you would be connecting to a wireless router or \gls{Access Point}. The ``ad-hoc'' mode is for a computer-to-computer connection (where one computer shares another's connection) and is often only used in advanced cases.
