Revision history [back]

In day-to-day use the main purpose of the basestation is to ensure that regardless of whether or not the PR2 is plugged into the building network, or connected via wifi, you can always access it using the same IP/hostname. You can certainly use a PR2 without the basestation, but the access point in the PR2 is only 802.11g, so you'll get much lower bandwidth than with the basestation.
