Connected to wireless capable computer without an access point in the network (Ad-hoc 
mode)

This type of network does not have a central access point. 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 the print data.

An access point is in the network, but the computer is not wireless capable

This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point is connected to 
a computer which is not wireless capable with the Ethenet cable. When the Brother wireless machine (your 
machine) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
