In infrastructure mode, all wireless clients must communicate through an access point rather than directly with one another, making the AP the mandatory intermediary for all traffic. This is the standard enterprise wireless deployment model and directly fulfills the requirement of preventing sales team members and managers from communicating peer-to-peer. The access point controls all data exchange between wireless clients on the network.

Star topology is a physical or logical wired network layout where devices connect to a central switch or hub and is not a wireless LAN topology classification.

Ad hoc mode enables wireless devices to communicate directly with each other without any access point, which is the opposite of the requirement to force all communication through an access point.

Mesh topology connects multiple nodes so each can route traffic through neighboring nodes, potentially enabling direct multi-hop paths between clients rather than enforcing a single AP intermediary.
