The DWL-500 when in Ad-Hoc Mode can wirelessly connect up to 6 other wireless clients with unique IPs within the same subnet. The maximum allowable IP addresses within a Class C subnet is 254 IP addresses. For example, the DWL-500 client may have a private static IP address of 192.168.0.1, while 253 other wireless clients also have a unique static IP address of 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, and 192.168.0.x up to 253 static IP addresses. As long as all 254 wireless clients have a unique static private IP on the same subnet, they can all connect with the one wireless client with D-Links DWL-500 PCI wireless adapter. When the DWL-500 is in Infrastructure mode, it also can connect up to the maximum allowable wireless clients receiving a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server on the local LAN. In this case a total of 254 wireless clients can be networked together as well.
